1851 & 1861 Census Look-up - Bristol Area - Wiltshire family name
« on: Sunday 24 October 04 16:39 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information from the 1851 and 1861 Census Records for Bristol, possible Municipal Ward of St. James.

I am looking for the following family members:
George Wiltshire; wife Sarah and sons: Edward and George. 

George Sr. would have been approximately 26 years of age in 1851 and Sarah 29.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks..

I cannot locate them in 1861. Have you any supplementary info, such as birthplace(s) or kid's ages?

Hello Pauline:
Thank you for your reply.  It had been so long since I posted I had forgotten what I had asked for  :)

Since that posting, I have acquired a copy of the 1861 census for George Wilthshire and family but still am interesting in the 1851 census. 

From the 1861 Census I did learn that I had the wife's first name wrong..it is Sally not Sarah.  The 1861 census for Wiltshire was found on page 50, Bristol City, Redcliff Ward.  I was also off on the ages of George Sr. and Sally as well. In 1861 George was 57 and Sally was 39. For birth place information, George Sr. was born in Bath and Sally in Staplegrove, Somerset.  George's occupation was a stone mason.  Father's names  were: George for George Wiltshire and Thomas Summers for Sally.
 
For the 1851 Census, George Wiltshire would have been approx. 47 and Sally approx. 29.  At that time they would have had the following children:  Rhoda born approx. 1842-44in Bath; and Thomas who would have been approx. 1 yr. born in Bristol.
 
I do know that George Sr. and Sally were married Nov. 12, 1844 at Westbury-on-trym, Gloucestershire, if this helps.

I hope I have provided enough information to assist with a search of the 1851 census. 

Thanks again, Pauline for any assistance you can provide.
