[gabbers]

Hi
I am looking for abraham wolfenden on the 41 & 51 census. he was born 1824c in salford, wife was margaret.
Also looking for James Wolfenden on the 91 census. he would have been 32 born salford, wife Sarah Jane.
Thanks
Gabbers

1841 census for Middleton - all b Lancs

John Wolfenden joiner aged 45
Mary 45
Abraham 15
Ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 years so if Abraham was born 1824 and aged 17, he would become 15

great thanks

Maybe not so great - in 1851 he is still with parents but has acquired a wife named Ellen - not Margaret

[gabbers]

oh right haha, typical 

[CaroleW]

This may be him on the 1851 but purely because he was b Salford - wife is Ellen

Abraham Wolfenden 30 b Salford Loom factory - cotton worker
Ellen 32 b Manchester
Martha Whitehouse servant
Address was 90 Upper Moss Lane Hulme

None with a wife Margaret - ? second marriage

dont think so to be honest, have just found the daughter on the 61 ellen wolfenden born 1846, parents listed as abraham wolfenden and margaret williams

Presume you have access to Ancestry if you have just found them on the 1861.  Is it a mis-spelling as WOLVENDEN?

No trace 1851 - may be on the water damaged part

i dont have access unfortunately it was another kind member on this site who found it for me

abraham & margaret married in 1845 in manchester if this is any help
