1841 census lookup please-Littlefield

[cristobel]

Hello,
 
Could someone please do a lookup in the 1841 census for John Littlefield.  Wife was Louisa and they married in Ropley in 1831.  (Info from the IGI) 
Thanks in advance.

Wow, that was quick.    Thanks very much.

Showing my ignorance now - not too clued up with parishes, counties etc, - but from the map kindly supplied by Newfster, I'm presuming Kitwood is a small town ?

One other query - is there any way I can find out the parents of John Littlefield.  Possibly Elizabeth age 70 is his mother.

Thankyou from Chris

Its no more than a hamlet, possibly just a couple of workers cottages and a farm ...  .... Ropley itself is a village - altho nowadays Four Marks is a town as such.

You can click on aerial view on that map and zoom in and out to see some dwellings today ....

Have you tried the IGI for John's christening ?

Update: It seems that not many parishes in that part of Hants are in the IGI - where did you get the Marriage Register entry ?

Hello Newfster,
I'll check out the map more thoroughly. Thank you.

Had a look on IGI for the christening - several John Littlefield, but only one with with parents and they are listed as Robert & Mary which doesn't tally with the 1841 census.

The marriage info is from family search website and Louisa's maiden name was Merrett.
I've got the family travelling to Aust on 'Sea Queen' in 1849 with two more children, Moses and Emma. They had another daughter born in Aust.

Cheers, Chris

Wondered if they had 'gone' by 1851 .... Family Search is the LDS site including the IGI, so whatever you found isnt an original 'extracted' from Registers Record ?

Most of that name seem to come from the Portsmouth area.


Try another post asking for Ropley Parish Register search - some on here have original resources..

Failing that an email to Hants Archives (google it) in Winchester should sort it !

Kitwood is a small hamlet in the parish of Ropley - no church and not much else.  Photo of the "centre" here

The marriage that you found on the IGI - details as follows:

John Littlefield married Louisa Merritt 24 Dec 1831 in Ropley.

This could be John's baptism:

John Littlefield born 11 Jul 1808 baptised 12 Nov 1809, Ropley, parents Robert & Elizabeth Littlefield

Siblings appear to be:
Mary  b 17 Dec (1793) bapt 25 Jan 1794
Ruth b 16 Jan bapt 27 May 1798
James b 11 Jul bapt 15 Aug 1802                                          
Richard b 20 Jun baptised 28 Jul 1805                                        

Robert Littlefield married Elizabeth Chandler 6 Nov 1793 in Ropley.

See ! Ask and ye shall find.

As I said, its not an 'extracted' marriage record from the IGI, but hopefully the fruit of someone elses research

Form submitted by a member of the LDS Church. The form lists the submitter's name and address and may include source information. The address may be outdated. Details vary. To find the form, you must know the batch and sheet number.

I expect Nell has the full original resource tho, to be able to list the other entries ....
