1841 census humphreys

[homeguard]

Hi, it was the 1851 census for Munslow that I found her married to Thomas Hanson [Anson], also she was married in the parish of Munslow in 1833, a witness at the wedding was Mary Hanson.

HURRAY!!! I've found them in 1841!!!!!!

In the parish of Munslow

HO107/913/2 folio 23 page 11

Thos Anson 45 Sawyer Y
Rachel Anson 35 Y
John Anson 20 Sawyer Y
Esther Anson 15 Y
Mary Anson 7 Y
James Anson 6 Y
Fanny Anson 4 Y
Ann Anson 1 Y

No wonder I couldn't find Rachel - she had been transcribed as RICHD on the index

Looking at the ages of the John and Esther, I would guess that Thomas had been married before. 


Living next door:-

John Anson 55 Sawyer Y
Martha Anson 50 Y
Benjamin Anson 15 Sawyer Y
Richd Anson 11 Y


And to think that I have already looked through the images for Munslow while searching for Humphreys!!!! - they were there all the time, peeping at me

Well done, being shown as Richd would make it difficult !! May be Thomas and John were brothers ? just a thought.

Hi, found on IGI birth of John Handson to Thomas/Elizabeth Munslow 1786, so could be a brother.

Hi,

Thomas and Elizabeth are my 4 x g-grandparents. Rachel Humphreys was indeed Thomas Anson/Hanson's second wife; I'm descended from his first marriage to Mary who died in Feb 1831. Rachel was widowed before 1871 but married John Trow later that year.

Gosh, this thread is a blast from the past

I wonder if homeguard managed to get any further with the research?

[homeguard]

Hi Lloydy and 233ac, Thomas and Rachael Hanson/Anson are my GG Grand parents.  I have been stuck on going further back past them for a while now but I have not given up !  Thanks for your interest in the family.

Hi Homeguard

As you are still trying to research further back, post your queries here and I'll see if I can help

[233AC]

Hi Homeguard,

Good to find another connection - which of Thomas [2] and Rachael's children are you descended from? I am in touch with another cousin who is descended from their son Thomas [3] b. 1845. There's also another cousin who is descended from John b. 1786 who was a brother to Thomas [2]. My  2 x gt grandfather John, b. 1820 the son of Thomas [2] and his first wife Mary Edwards took his family to West Kirby, Wirral some time in the 1870's where my grandfather and father were born.

Hi Lloydy,

I too have had no success in many years looking for the parents of 4 x gt grandfather Thomas [1] but have some details of his wife Elizabeth Greene's line back another three generations. All I have on Thomas [1] is that I believe he was buried in Munslow in 1834 'aged 72'. So if you should be able to help there it would be much appreciated.
