1841 census look up please

[Luckygirl]

I am trying to trace the parents of William Carter born 1826 in Wantage.  I have the Oxfordshire Family History cd for Wantage, letcombe Bassett etc but it has a chunk of the marriages missing.
If anyone is able to look up William Carter born 1826 on the 1841 census with a bit of luck it will show his parents (father also called William) and maybe more.
Thank you in anticipation
regards,

Hi
Welcome to Rootschat
Is your William the one who married a Maria? If so I can see him on all other censuses - do you have these? Unfortunately the 1841 is more tricky as it doesn't give birthplaces and he isn't in Wantage - there is a 17 year old William in Toot Balden with father William and a 15 year old in Iffley not with parents. Not sure how near either place is to Wantage.

Hi Jan,

Yes, my William Carter married Maria Case in 1847 at Letcombe Bassett.  I do not have any information off of any of the other census years, so any help would be fantastic.

Ifley is just south of Oxford so not a huge distance away, maybe 10 or 15 miles.

I do not know if William had any brothers or sisters or anything about his parents except that his father was also called William.

Many thanks for any information you can provide.

Regards,
Lucky girl

Thank you for the information.

I would be grateful if you could have another look on 1841 for William as I cannot trace this line any further back without knowing his parents.

I have quite a lot on Maria as I have been able to trace her family back a couple more generations for the BDM disc I purchased from Oxf FHS.  Athough any additional information on the 1841 would be nice.       

William and Maria's son Isaac is my G Grandfather and I know at some point most of the family up sticks and moved to Surrey.  This may be why they are not found on the 1901 census.  My Grandfather was born 1898 in Epsom, so they obviously moved before the 1901 census.

Many thanks

Hi Jan,

According to William Carter's marriage certificate to Maria Case his father is named as William Carter  a Draper.
