Excellent Jen...thanks so much :D Thanks also to Christine for looking. It's William Wilson that is of interest to me but with them being the same age it made me wonder if they could be twins.

They probably aren't the same age, adults' ages were rounded on the 1841 census.

Good point...I forgot about that rule for the 1841 census ::)

The 1851 census shows William's age as 42 years old.
