Title: 1841 Census - Thomas Brookes
Post by: Tom Langley on Sunday 21 July 24 16:35 BST (UK)

Hello, I am struggling to find my ancestor Thomas in the 1841 census. He was born in 1808 Astbury, Cheshire, married Mary Mellor in 1834 Leek Staffordshire and by this point had several children - Sarah 1835, Elizabeth 1836, Jane 1837 and John 1840 all baptised in the Rushton James/Heaton area.
He living at Willishaw Farm, Rushton Spencer 1851, Biddulph Common in 1861 and Park Farm, Biddulph in 1871.

Can anyone help?

Tom
