Title: Missing Charles in 1841 census
Post by: Paddington75 on Tuesday 25 September 12 18:49 BST (UK)
Hi, I am having trouble finding someone in the 1841 census.  I have him in all other censuses from 1851 to 1891 (he died in 1895).  He married Hannah Ford in 1838 and his first child Emma was born in 1840.  I think I have found his wife and daughter but I can't find any trace of him anywhere.  He is Charles Moreland (possible mistranscribed as Mortland) born 1815 in Eastington, Gloucestershire.  Is there any way of checking the whole census return for Eastington?

Thanks.  I'm using the same site.  I have found Hannah (his wife) and daughter Emma living with Sarah Mortland (Moreland) at Cress Green, Eastington but no sign of Charles anywhere. Ah well another mystery!

Hi to help out in 1851 ref HO107/1963/242/25 Charles is the classic Farm Labourer, just wonder in 1841 if he was in the Army?

Farm labourer/general labourer in all censuses apart from 1871 where he was at the wool mills.

I did wonder if he might perhaps have been in the Army but wasn't sure if there were any records I could search for that period.  His next child was born in 1842.
