Title: Census Lookup : Allwright 1841-1851 Australia
Post by: FBD on Tuesday 23 August 05 14:05 BST (UK)

Does anyone happen to have (or know if there was) any Census' done in Australia between 1841-1851?  Would appreciate a look up please.

If so, I'm in search of
Family Name: ALLWRIGHT
First Names: Henry (and possibly Thomas, Frederick, John or Sarah)

Details are very scant - basically the ALLWRIGHT family were in the UK 1841 Census (Heybridge England) but they were gone by 1851, however Henry was in Victoria Australia in February 1851 (his first marriage).

Can only presume that he(they) arrived in Victoria from England, however it could have easily been any of the other ports.

Would appreciate any assistance.

Cheers  :)

Hi FBD

Apart from reminants of 1841 census & earlier "musters", all Australian census data identifying individuals has been destroyed. If your folks were still in UK in 1841, there will be no census data available.
