Hi there,
I'm trying to locate a family in the 1841 Census.
They were living at Church St, Malpas, Cheshire in 1851.
The family should be;
William Thelwell 33
Elizabeth " 26
Sarah " 2
Mary " months
Any help finding them would be gratefully recieved

is this the ages in 1841 or 1851?
also were they born in cheshire and what is williams occupation on 1851 census
-
It's the ages in 1841.
William was a shopkeeper/gardener.
There should also be a son, William aged 4 in 1841
Thanks

William and the children were born in Malpas, Cheshire. Wife Elizabeth was born in Edge,Cheshire
-
cannot find them in malpas though there are a couople of thelwells but not yours(possibly williams relations)
or anywhere in cheshire
probably badly mistranscribed

Thankyou for your time

Hello ktkeith,
I have connections to this family and will see what I can find for you. It is probable that the name has been mistranscribed in the 1841 census.
I have some Thelwell family in a later census that are shown as Thalwiser!
The 1841 census should have ages rounded up, or down, to the nearest 5 years. So William Thelwell would be shown as aged 35, in theory anyway.

Sorry, ktkeith, I have drawn a complete blank too. The family of William Thelwell that I had was the one married to Anne and they lived in Faddiley and Acton.
I have tried some name variants but nothing comes up for them. I think it is under something that is so way off it doesn't appear.
