Thanks Arranroots/Tanja

One of these days I will get a breakthrough on this, looks like I can elimate that Sam Smith, again worth a try though, so I guess my mans father probably died before 1851. The John Smith in the workhouse could be interesting as he is the right age and that could explain why he went off to Northampton.  Thanks again, I'm sure I'll solve all this one day, in the meantime we probably arent that far off the longest thread on this board!

Regards

Anthony

It might be worth posting, to see whether anyone on the board has access to the Board of Guardians Minutes Book for Towcester.

If this is your John in 1851 (or even if it isn't) it is likely that the Guardians would have apprenticed him out in the few years after that census.  The Minute Book should record such a fact, there were often applications for a set of clothes to send the child to work in or some such mundane record.  Worth a separate post, maybe?  The record would be in the county record office if it survives I suspect.

kind regards, Arranroots

That sounds promising - look what it says about the records:

Quote
Northamptonshire Record Office, Wootton Hall Park, Northampton, Northants, NN4 8BQ. A wide variety of records survive including: Guardians' minutes (1835, 1839-1930); Admissions and discharges (1901-5, 1922-9); Deaths (1837-1930); Creed register (1914-30); Register of lunatics (1892-22); Punishment book (1899-1933); etc.

I would send them an e-mail if it were me!!
