[Jamys]

Hello All

I'm trying again..........!!

Can anyone see George Winsper b1823 Bilston please?

This elusive man is holding up my research and at the moment I'm stumped.

Fingers crossed, Jamys

Hi,

I see from the 1861 when he is married that they are Travellers (on the 1861 they are living in a Travelling Caravan in the Market Place, Bilston). His wife Sarah is from Stourbridge. All children born Dudley.

1861 Bilston:
George Winsper 36 b. Bilston. Confectioner.
Sarah 30
Mary 9
Clara 4
Sarah 2
George 1

I think i have also found them on the 1851 census in Stourbridge. Most details fit apart from their ages but i think its them - again living in a caravan and same occupation.
1851: Stourbridge.
George Winsper 37 b.Bilston. Travelling confectioner.
Sarah 36 b. Darlaston
Henry 1 b.Dudley.

Cannot find him on the 1841 - I wonder if anyone else knows the chances of finding travelling folk on the 1841 census?

OK - they are not the same George Winsper - on the IGI there are two christenings in Bilston:

i) parents Joseph and Ann. ch. 19 Jun 1814.

ii) parents Joseph and Rhoda. ch. 13 Apr 1823.

These fit with the two ages given on the census.
