Title: 1851 & 1861 census look up please - Fletcher
Post by: fek33 on Monday 18 March 13 22:47 GMT (UK)
I wonder if someone could help me?

I have William Fletcher, 55, ag lab at Brook Street, Wymeswold
Margaret Fletcher, 50,
Hannah Fletcher, 15 (18?)

I have spent all evening trying to find William and Margaret on the 1851 and 1861 census, but have been unsuccessful  :(

Please can someone help me or give me some ideas ?

Thank you.

For those trying to help, the information given came from the 1841 census (HO107, 593, 27, 12, 19).
Margaret born out of county; William & Hannah born in county.

Bearing in mind the 1841 age rounding, William was therefore born 1782-1786, and Margaret 1787-1791.


So, this could be them in 1851?

bap:
William Fletcher 2/4/1786 hathern s/o Samuel Fletcher & Hannahsource: Family search

samuel & Hannah both family names as are James & Elizabeth!

which also lists William Fletcher b. hathern 1786 as 1861 census in carlton Notts, fitting with death Mike found 1866.

Hi there Fek33,

I am doing some research with my daughter into the life of James Permer Fletcher 1886-1918 (son of William and Elizabeth) ... It sounds like you are family, and that you might have lots of info we can't get in the public domain  :) It would be really great if you were able to get back to me, if you're happy to share !

Thanks very much,
Craig.
