1841 census humphreys

[homeguard]

Hello, could someone please look to find a Humphreys family livng in the Munslow area of Salop in 1841, many thanks.

As you have had no replies to your request, I was wondering whether you had managed to find your Humphreys family yet?

Let me know if you would like them looking up.

Thanks Jan thats a very kind offer, the only thing I know about the family is that  Rachael was born about 1806 from I think the Munslow area, as you can see any info would be appreciated !!

Hi again

It would seem that HUMPHREYS was quite a popular name in Shropshire in 1841 - there's a lot of them!!!!

A quick search shows nothing for Munslow but I think the best way would be to go through the images of the parish and see if anything shows up.

I'll let you know!

I have looked through the Munslow images and can only see one Humphreys:

A Charles Humphreys 20 Male Servant  Y - for the Edwards family.


I did a search for a Rachel Humphreys but the only one I could see was born around 1840.  Would you like the details?

Thanks Jan, for taking the time to look, the 1840 date is a bit late, I think mine is round 1810ish, but at least I can strike Munslow off places to search, shes out there some where !

Hi again Homeguard

I'm still looking!!!

What other information do you have for the Humphreys family?  Have you found them on any of the other census.  If so, could you post the details please?

If Rachel was born approx 1806 that would make her about 35 years of age.  I'm wondering whether she might have married by 1841

Hi Jan, yes I have since found her on the census married and it gives her pob as Monk Hopton, not Munslow !, but I have no information on the Humphrey family at all, perhaps there are some living at Monk Hopton ? but it would still be difficult to link them to her, sorry to be so vague with the Humphreys. thanks for your help.

[Lloydy]

In the parish of Monk Hopton I can see the following HUMPHREYS:

William Humphreys 20 Labourer Y


William Humphreys 15 Ag Labourer Y


Benjamin Humphreys 25 Waggoner
Mary Humphreys 25 Y
Eliza Humphreys 10 Y


What is Rachel's married name, and could you post the census details where you found her married?  It may be an idea to look for the marriage record at either FreeBMD if post 1837, or the Shropshire Archives if pre 1837.

I could do the Shropshire Archives bit, by the way
