Hi

Prestbury is in Cheshire - not Gloucester

Lucy is shown in the same household as John & Elizabeth Cleave both aged 22 and their 2 month old dtr Mary.  Lucy is shown as born Cheshire

The 1841 does not show relationships

Hi,

Having looked closely at the image for Lucy Berry on the 1841 census I think that Lucy is part of a Taylor family -

Samuel Taylor age 43 Ag Lab
Ellen Taylor age 49
Levi Taylor age 16
Jonathan Taylor age 12
Alice Taylor age 9
Lucy Berry age 1

All born in the County of Cheshire, living at 6 Lord Street, Prestbury, Cheshire.

There is a Prestbury in Gloucestershire so that will explain the mix up.

Hope that is the Lucy that you are looking for.

Dionysius and Sarah are indexed as Bary

Dionysius and Mary are both shown as not born in Cheshire but Sarah is shown as born there

In view of Jen's comments above - if you are looking for ancestors born Gloucs - these are probably not them

Hi Carole,

I'm sure you are on the right track with such a name as Dionysius, as there can't be too many of them  :)
