1841 census Wigan
« on: Wednesday 09 August 06 14:19 BST (UK) »
I can't find the following on the 1841 or 1851 census

Thomas Morris c1791 solicitor
Ann Morris 1791
Ellen Ann 1830

I have found them on later census at Fairhurst Hall Wrightington.
I think I found Thomas in an 1825 directory on Millgate Wigan but don't know if that might have been a business address.
I would be gratefull for any help.

Thanks Mobo,

I had found Thomas and Ellen on the 1871 at Fairhurst Hall and then Ellen on the census after that living in London.

I am not sure about the 1851 census as when I looked there was a housekeeper and gamekeeper at the Hall which begs the question if Ann and Ellen were in North Meols where was Thomas.

Thomas would have been at the Hall in 1861 but was still alive in 1871 for the census. I think I have found his death in 1871 but need to find when Ann died.

The mysterious absences could be explained in part by the family's having two residences (Brunswick Villa, Southport and Fairhurst Hall, Wrightington) Ellen tombstone states that she was of... (both addresses) the name of the villa is clear on the tombstone.
As they were wealthy, they could afford to go abroad, for their health and might just miss the census. An alternative explanation may be a mistranscription of name(s)

If anyone is still interested in Ellen Ann Robinson Morris please let me know.
I have information regarding the connection with the Wigan Brewery.

I see that there is a picture of Fairhurst Hall, where Ellen lived.

Google "Wigan World" and "Fairhurst Hall" to see it.
