1841 census Wells family

[aderyn]

Hi,

Looking for the census of Joshua Foxon Wells and Elizabeth Wells living in Leicester.
 He was born in 1799 so would have been around 41-42 years. one of their children would be Edward age 11-12yrs. possibly living in Pares Rd.
Thank you,
Angela.

They have been transcribed as

Jno F 7
J W 5
Robb 3 months

Joshua dies in 1846

Do you have the family in 1851 where there is a family that fits with Joshua age 17 and a John age 15.

Also a Robert age 9 who may be 'Robb' in 1841

Hello Tricia,

Thank you very much for your hard work especially trying to decipher those names, well done.
If it's not too much trouble can you pass on the 1851 census.
I did know that Joshua had died in 1846 aged 47yrs.
On the 1841 census did the wife and older children have jobs?

Thank you angela.

The 1841 gives very little information. Joshua has Stocking M next to his name which may be stocking maker or stocking manufacturer.

It doesn't give relationships, marital status or birthplace only that they were all born in the county of Leicestershire

It may well be that Mary and Robert's ages have been recorded the wrong way round
