Title: mystery entry in 1841 census
Post by: ExTaff on Sunday 07 June 15 21:44 BST (UK)
An entry on the 1841 census refers to a 16 year old as "On The Parish A Carpille".
I can find no trace as to what it means. Any ideas please.

Just in case it is just a bad transcription, can you supply details of this 16 year old please !

Or if possible post just that bit of the census in question so we can have a look.

Sorry, I just realised that it is a mistranslation - it should say 'A Cripple'.

Obviourseally!
