Would some kind soul try to find the following family for me in the 1841 census.
The last known address I have is from the 1851 census (Magdalen St, Norwich) St Pauls. PRO Ref HO/107/1813 Folio 4 Page 1 FHL Film 0207466.
Notes: The surname is mis-transcribed as Timpson in 1851 and I've also found William's birth & christening record mis-transcribed as Stimpson.
In 1841 it should look something like this:
William SIMPSON, head age 57, born Hockering Norfolk
Wife unknown but possibly Sarah (believe she would be alive on this census)
William SIMPSON, Son aged 19
Johnathan Layton SIMPSON, Son aged 15
Peter Hagg Henry (or just Henry) SIMPSON, son aged 13
Sarah SIMPSON, daughter aged 12
Many thanks,
Sharon

Thanks Nicky,
This looks like the family I was looking for. All I need to do now is find the missing children. Maybe they were with the grandparents - but there are probably too many William & Elizabeth Simpson's (or Stimpson according to a baptism record) to look up - and I have no idea whether they stayed in Hockering or moved to Norwich too. I'll probably have to wait until the 1841 census comes online before I find out.
Many thanks for this information.
Kind regards,
Sharon
