Title: 1841 census lookup please
Post by: REEDY on Monday 03 October 05 18:16 BST (UK)

I am trying to find a Hester Bryant aged about 90 a widow.
She would be living in the Bitton area of Gloucestershire.
I know she died in 1841 in Bitton.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks Reedy

Thanks for that.  I've recently found that she is one of my gggg-grandmothers - John is  a direct male ancestor.  I'd be grateful for any information you have on the family.  I've put my findings on wikitree: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Watkins-2106 (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Watkins-2106).

Best wishes
Julian
