1841 / 51 Census Lookup for Reuben Grocock Please

[pnewbery]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find some more detail about Reuben Grocock (Snr) in the 1841 & 1851 census records please.

From the 1871 Census, I calculated that he was born around 1823 and that he was a joiner. I'm trying to discover more about his parents if possible.

By the time of the 1851 census, he'd married Amelia Cooper and they had a son also called Reuben.

Thanks in advance

Hi Paul

Was Reuben from Nottinghamshire, if so I have found him in 1841 and will post the details.

Thanks for your efforts guys.

I think Suz has nailed the correct set of Grococks in 1851, as all the pieces fit. Amelia as Daughter in-law with grandson Reuben (who must have lost a few years by the time of the 1871 census!)

I'm kinda confused by the Grococks you found Evie as the address and main man are the same, but everyone else except for Reuben, is different. I guess John must have swapped wives / families somewhere along the line! Reuben's age is a couple or 3 years out, but I suppose that was fairly common back then!

Looks like I'm going to have to do a little digging to see exactly (!) what went on here.

Thanks again both!

I've found a record of death for a Sarah Grocock registered in June 1843 in Basford Notts.

I'm wondering if this could be John's first wife and Reuben's mother.

Dig, dig, dig....

Parents-John and Elizabeth

Sarah Grocock-22nd Jan 1815
Mary Ann Grocock-17th Dec 1820
Reuben Grocock-30th March 1823

Strangely they all fit with the family of John and Sarah in 1841 that Evie found  but their Mother on baptism is Elizabeth? So are they the same person Sarah Elizabeth maybe? Or two totally different women?
