Could you please look up the Bartlett family in the 1851 census in Morden/Almer. The reference is I believe HO107/1856 f463 pp2-3. I need to establish the relationships to the head of household.
Many thanks,
Terry

Hi Terry
There were two BARTLETT households in Morden on the two pages of HO107/1856 f463 that you referenced. From their ages etc it seems likely that the second were descendants of the first family, and that they lived close to one another, but the address of the first household was (I think) "Frogmoor" and of the second just "West Morden". The writing was very faint and not easy to read, so I am also in doubt as to the occupation of William BARTLETT and the birthplace of his wife.
William BARTLETT Head M 56 Drill Man Ag Lab Dorset Almer
Elizabeth BARTLETT Wife M 54 Dorset ?---yston
Sarah BARTLETT Dau U 28 Dorset Morden
Prudence BARTLETT Dau U 21 Dorset Morden
Maryann BARTLETT Dau U 19 Dorset Morden
Catherine BARTLETT Dau U 13 Dorset Morden
Charlotte BARTLETT Dau U 11 Dorset Morden
Ann COAKES Mother-in-law Wid 85 Pauper Dorset Stickland

Shoko,
Many thanks - brilliant! The appearance of the mother-in-law gives me the maiden name of William's wife Elizabeth, over whom I have struggled for some while. I had earmarked the marriage to Elizabeth Coaks in 1817 at Lytchett Minster as a likely option and you have confirmed it.
I can also locate the second Bartlett family of Charles and you have confirmed his relationship to Amelia, who died shortly thereafter.
Could you - pretty please - look up Willam's brother Benjamin (b. 1796) and his family who were in Almer at the same time? I can't give you the full census reference but they are adjoining villages. I went down there a couple of months ago and even found the farm where they lived in 1841 but no trace of any documentation or gravestones or anything.
Many, many thanks,
Terry

Hi Alli,
Many thanks for the 1841 detail; mothers-in-law do seem to hang around, don't they? I've picked up on Ann Coakes and found her marriage and birth in LDS and then her parents wedding. It is either feast or famine, isn't it?

Shoko,
They do say that the reward for work well done is more work to do well! Having researched what you found so far, I have come up with more family members, who are the children of Thomas (61) and Susan (54) Bartlett, who you found in Almer in 1851. Theses are:
James Bartlett (b. Almer 1821)
Samuel Bartlett (b. Almer 1825)
Thomas Bartlett (b. Almer 1828)
All were in Almer in 1841 but had left home by 1851, when only Robert and Elizabeth were with their parents. Samuel was in Sturminster Marshall in 1871. Could you check please whether they were still in the Morden/Almer area in 1851.
Many thanks,
Terry
