1841 census Penelope Ginger please

[ballgarside]

Hi.  Could someone please lookup Penelope Ginger (aged approx. on 1841 Buckinghamshire census.  She was probably living in Great or Little Hampden.  I would be interested to know who she is living with.

The only one I can find is aged 9 living in Desborough, High Wycombe.  Is she yours?

Penelope's parents were James and Sarah Ginger.  Probably living at Great Hampden or Little Hampden, though I'm not sure.  Both Penelope and Ginger were unusual names so I wouldn't have thought there would be many of them.

How very odd that entry is.  No adults listed and the address is the canal.  I wonder what they were doing on the canal!
