Hi Dawn

I do have this but many thanks for sending it to me. From the index of the 1841 Census I also eventually found "Henrry LUBRECHT" in Bethnal Green and John LIEBRECHT in Kent with the 96th Foot.

John (Daniel), Henry, Ebenezer and Theophilus (my g-g grandfather) were brothers.  The correct spelling of the surname is LIEBRECHT (back in 1786) but as you can see there are several variations. I have not been able to find Theophilus in the 1841 Census - in 1838 he, also was a pawnbroker's clerk (records of the Old Bailey show him as a witness in a theft case) so he should be somewhere but I have not been able to find him in the indexes. Any possibility that you might be able to find him - probably in the Bethnal Green area. In 1842 he joined the 50th Foot so he has to be somewhere in the 1841 Census.

Thanks again for sending me the information

Best Regards

Malcolm

Hi Malcolm

Had a really good look and can't find him.

Two possibilities:

He was missed off completely (not at home on the night and where he was didn't record him)

Maybe he was in part of Middlesex where the census doesn't survive

Hi Dawn

Thanks for looking. I really appreciate it. Had a look at the link and it is possible that he is recorded in the Old Street part of the census which is missing.

Again many thanks

Best Regards

Hi Dawn

Like to ask one more favour. Could you see if in the 1841 Census you can find a Mr Saunders, pawnbroker. Sorry I do not have his first name. Probably in Bethnal Green/Whitechapel area. This is where Theophilus was living and working in 1838.

Many thanks

Malcolm
