Hi

Both these censuses need an address for a search at the moment.  The 1861 is due online later this year

Thanks, Julie - I had the 1861 but not 1851 census.

Thanks for all the help I have received with this look-up in 1851/61

I have now modified the header - and wonder if anyone now has access to this Roughley / Ruffley family census in 1841 - Bedford or Leigh, Lancs?  I am looking for Joseph Roughley, silk weaver, b. c.1818/19 and his parents (He did not marry Ellen until 1845).

I would be pleased to hear from you.  :D

I'm pleased to say I have now found Joseph Ruffley in the 1841 census - aged 24 and  living in Pennington, Leigh, with Thomas and Jane Arrowsmith.  I was a bit confused until I found on IGI a marriage in 1825 between Thomas Arrowsmith and... Jane Ruffley (his mother).  Joseph's father James must have died sometime around the time Joseph was born in 1817 - 1825.

Also living with the Arrowsmiths in 1841 is William Buckley, born in Ireland, a Chelsea pensioner, who is described in 1851 as Thomas Arrowsmith's brother-in-law - so that gives me Jane's maiden name as Buckley.

So my next questions are:

1.  How do I find out more about William Buckley, a Chelsea Pensioner born in Ireland about 1798;

2.  Where can I find a birth for Jane Buckley, In Ireland between 1795/1801 ?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.
