Title: 1841 & 1851 (Washfield?) census look-up please
Post by: Miriam on Monday 13 June 05 21:55 BST (UK)

Hello all,

I'm trying to locate the following in 1841 & 1851 -
George Coles born abt 1805 in Withiel, Somerset
his wife - Mary Ann born abt 1805 in Stogumber, Somerset
children - Maria born abt 1823 and Jessee born abt 1828 in Washfield, Devon.

They had another child in 1842 who was also born in Washfield, so I presume that's where they'll be. Not too sure about 1851.. By 1861 they were in Bedminster, Somerset.

Full details if possible, any help much appreciated!

Thank you

Hi,

I searched the 1851 and they are not there.I guess they left Devon before 1851 and went back to Somerset >:(

Best wishes
