Alfred ILLSLEY - Look-up request 1841 census
« on: Friday 23 January 09 14:29 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone find an Alfred ILLSLEY in Berkshire in the 1841 census. He was born about 1837. I do not know any details about his parents, but his brother Thomas (born about 1829) may still have been living with the family in 1841. Any help would be very much appreciated.

The surname seems frequent in the county, but none born in a 2 or year span of your date - other than an Adam in Bray .... whats the source of your info ?

Many thanks for the info - I've got him in later censuses, in particular I know he was living in Paddington London in 1881, and he appears on a birth certificate (as the father) in 1863, although this of course does not give his birth place - the census does purport to do so. However I think I might have drawn a blank here - in any event many thanks for your time and help - much appreciated!

Hi both,

His age seems to vary on census. First of all, the 1881 census transcription has him age 44 but looking at the image, it looks more like 49. He's 42 in 1871 (born Hellatingford?) as far as I can tell and I spotted a possible candidate in 1861, aged 34 born Chosely.

Newf - can you have a look at RG10/47 15 21 and RG9/752 63 13 - do you think they're the same family?  :-*

Oops!  ;)
