Hello,
I am wondering if it would be possible to request a look up for the following family in Plymouth in 1841:
Elizabeth Bampton, widow, possibly born 1786, birthplace unknown.
Mary Bampton daughter born 1813 in London/Middlesex.
Sarah Bampton daughter born 1815 in London/Middlesex
George Bampton son born 1816 in London/Middlesex.
Augustus Bampton son, born 1823 in London/Middlesex.
Thanks in advance,
Paula Mc.

Mary and Sarah not coming up at all, possible that they married?
No 1841 for George that I can find and Augustus - nothing for him either??

Hi Kerry,
Many thanks, much appreciated.
Sarah and Augustus appear in the 1851 Census (Sarah as a teacher at a convent in Loughborough and Augustus in Cornwall working as a civil engineer). Mary may be deceased. In 1841 George was a doctor and supposedly still in Plymouth.
Regards,
Paula

I do find the 1841 census much harder to find sometimes, transcription rates are not always that good. I have tried on two different sites and nothing so far. :( I would have thought with a name like Augustus it might be easier.

Hi Kerry,
I have just looked at an article regarding George. He was ordained as a sub deacon in 1841, following instruction at Prior Park near Bristol. Maybe he wasn't in Plymouth after all. Thanks for all your efforts - it was great you were able to find Elizabeth.
Regards,
Paula
