Title: 1841 Census Selby Lookup
Post by: DaveWelburn on Sunday 01 February 15 12:11 GMT (UK)
Hi, I am looking for Bessey (or Betsey) Welburn born 1829 Hemingborough district (christened Escrick church)
She is the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Welburn. The family, except for Bessey are on the 1841 census in Hemingborough.
I am lead to understand she shows up on the census 1841 in Selby, and I am interested to find out why, or who with, maybe working or with relatives.
I know that by 1853 and later she is back in the Escrick/Hemingborough area.

Thanks in advance
Dave
