Title: Philip and Sophia Parker of Chew Magna - 1841 Census
Post by: Westy11 on Sunday 23 June 13 10:17 BST (UK)

I am looking for the 1841 Census record for Philip Parker and his wife Sophia; I located Philip in the 1851 Census in which is stated he was born in Old Sodbury, Gloucestershire and his age was 76 [born abt 1775]; Sophia was born 1779 in Bristol, Gloucester

The info on the 1851 census is:
Civil Parish:   Chew Magna
County/Island:   Somerset
Country:   England
Registration District:   Clutton
Sub-registration District:   Harptree
ED, institution, or vessel:   3a
Household Schedule Number:   28
Piece:   1938
Folio:   182
Page Number:   8

Hope someone will be able to help me find the couple in 1841 and anything after 1851

Thanks

The National Probate Calendar has the following entry for Philip Parker:

Letters of administration (with the will annexed) for the estate of Philip Parker late of Chew Magna, deceased, gentleman who died on 6 March 1859 at Chew Magna granted at Wells to Sophia Harford Adlam (wife of William Adlam of Chew Magna, esquire) the only child of the deceased.

You can apply for a copy of the documents quoting the significant information from the calendar as identification.

It only appears to be effortless when you have some idea what you are doing!! ;D

For births, marriages & deaths, I use FreeBMD.
For censuses I tend to use Ancestry - but FindMyPast is good, too!

Thanks KGarrard but I would have to say there is skill involved in the search and when I see you have posted 8k+ [cannot go back to see the specific number but from memory] times this has to be a demonstration of significant skill - thank you so much
