1851 and 1841 census - STOODLEY

[jimpam]

I have a Henry STOODLEY in Crewkerrne in the 1881 census, born about 1847-48. Would a kind peron please look him up in the 1851 census to establish his family, and also perhaps his father in the 1841 census? I want to try to trace Henry's Crewkerne ancestry back to the eighteenth century.

Oops!
Sorry Jim,

I should have checked first, but the George Stoodley I listed in 1841 is a different family. They are still living in Crewekerne in 1851 (minus Sarah) at 83 Ashlands. I'll look again for your George in 1841

There seem to be several Stoodley's born in Crewkerne...

Here is the 1861

RG9/1637/88/3
Hermitage Street

George Stoodley head 45 Mason
Mary wife 40 Masons wife
John son 18 
HENRY son 13
Thomas son 10
Elizabeth dau 8
Mary dau 4

all children described as Mason's son or daughter..

This is the other family that were next door in '61 - gain in Hermitage St
RG9/1637/F92/p11

Frederick Stoodley head 40 Carpenter
Ann wife 46
William son 7

again all were born Crewkerne

Hi Jim - Steve's 1851 is correct for George... I found Hermitage Street in Enumeration District 2 went up and down the pages, no George although there were other Stoodley families, some Masons.

I'm pretty sure this is George in '41 indexed as Studley...annoyingly he is away from home...

HO107/292/book8/p21
Over Compton
Sherborne, Dorset

Anna Trevett 25 Y
Hannah Trevett 6 Y
GEORGE Studley 25  Mason N
John Lye 20 Mason N

Hi Jim,
a possibility for the next generation back:
John Stoodley, 55 mason y
Eliza Stoodley, 25 sempstress? y

Crewkerne 1841 Census
HO 107/920/3 Folio11 p14

Also might be worth contacting the OPC as the Registers for Crewkerne  up to 1812 are in the process of transcription

Hi Jim, pleased to be able to help.  If you find a connection to any of the other Stoodley's in Crewkerne give us a shout and we'll take a look.
