Title: William and Catherine Thompson
Post by: Truebrit on Thursday 04 July 24 08:54 BST (UK)

Hi

Can anybody spot William and Catherine Thompson in the 1841 and 1851 census?

I have William and Catherine in 1861 living in Long Lawford.  William is aged about 77 (so born about 1784) in Long Lawford, and Catherine about 83 (so born around 1778) in Hinckley, Leicestershire. 

Catherine died in Feb 1867, and is buried at Newbold Avon, as wife of William from Long Lawford although aged 84 so born abt 1783/84.  William is listed as a widower in Long Lawford in 1871 census.

But I cannot find the couple in earlier census’, nor can I find Williams death/burial!  Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

TB

Thankyou - I can’t quite believe that you found them so quickly, as I’ve searched a number of times!

Much appreciated.

How do I search Ancestry using my mobile with that enumeration reference number as it’s not immediately showing when I search?

Can't help I'm afraid as I don't use Ancestry nor do I have a mobile phone.
