Living in Aldbourne Wiltshire. 1851

G. CASSWELL. (my reading)
 
On the original image the double s is formed in the old fashioned way which resembles a lower case f.
A trap when one is not used to it.
It has been transcribed as CAPWELL, but I think this is wrong.
 
Does anyone have any thoughts on it?

This man is aged 17 Born on Ogbourn St Geo. and is a groom in a household headed by Thomas Kenson, a farmer of 500 acres.


Census 1851 possibility for some other family members 

Piece 1838
Folio 114
Page Number 29

Living at Ogbourn St George.

William CASWELL, Head aged 60. Ag Lab. born Overton Wilt.
Jane CASWELL, wife aged 21
And a lodger

Errors in census reportings are common.  I would venture to suggest that Jane is not wife, but daughter to William.  See 1841.

Next door but one to William is -

Thomas CASWELL. Head aged 25. Ag Lab. born Ogbourn St Geo.
Eliza Ann CASWELL. Wife aged 23. Born Ogbourn St Geo.
Henry . Son aged 3.

Sue

Thanks for this Sue,

I never knew about the old fashioned double s resembling a lower case f so i'll keep that in mind during my research.

I would agree that must be an error in the record as his daughter Jane was born in 1830 which puts her at 21 in the 1851 census.

The family next door but one are, Williams Son Thomas who married Eliza Ann Simms. Their son Henry was born in 1848, which again makes the ages line up, I was unable to find these so thanks for your help!

Hi All,

I am new to Roots Chat and am researching my family, I have hit a few dead ends and have come here to hopefully get some help from others researching the same families and maybe even find some relatives 

I am searching more on my maternal side as my father left when I was 2 years old so I have little to no information on his side, however is anyone has information on the Clough / Matthews / Docwra, from Essex , Ireland and Fuham/Chelsea respectively then I would be grateful to learn more.

Predominantly I am researching my mothers side, my surname interest are as follows:

Blay Family - I believe origins are Berkshire

Sherfield Family - Origins of Bentley, Hampshire, however I know my uncle migrated to Canada so there may be family over there too

Caswell Family - Berkshire / Wiltshire - however I may have crossed my wires on this side

Welch Family - Chertsey / Lynne / Thorpe

However I am also researching my ancestors on the Wells (Surrey), Allen (Surrey), Riddick (Surrey), Axten (Buckinghamshire), Rosam (Surrey) and Gosden (Surrey) families.

Most of my family on the Blay and Caswell side that remain are still living in the Chertsey/Addlestone area.

I would love to get in touch with more family and share our research if you feel you are connected to my line.

Thanks so much for reading and I look forward to seeing if anyone has any further information!

Hi Sue,

Thanks for this, perhaps this is why I am unable to find them in 1841 or 51. I have no Idea why they would be listed as Cartwell but the family names and ages roughly line up. I'll see what I can dig up based on the name Cartwell.

Thanks for your assistance
