Families of Downton, Wiltshire
« on: Monday 29 June 09 00:14 BST (UK) »
Hi

My mothers father line (as far as I have traced it so far) started in Downton, Wilts and in the course of my doing the tree I have come across many many helpful people who also 'start' in Downton. I am considering a new tree on Ancestry for Downton Families .

Anyone interested?

Hi Sandra,
                Some of my family were briefly in Downton, but the missing 1841 census doesn't help me to see if there is more. I would willingly contribute what I have. Great idea. Toby,

Hi Toby

the 1841 census for Downton has been reproduced in a Eureka publication which I have a copy of,

which families are you interested in?

Hi Sandra,
                 Very surprised at your reply. I don't understand how a census can be recreated.
        I am interested in a John Foss born Litton Cheney, Dorset and  aged 33 in 1841. He was a dairyman in the 1851, 61 & 71 censuses. I would expect to find a wife, Emma and perhaps 3 children , the third being born in Downton.
     Shall be most interested to hear what you find. Many thanks, Toby.

Toby - You can find your Foss family on the 1841 census on FREECEN. All of the Wiltshire 1841 census is on there.

There are 4 children - the last 2 born in Wiltshire.

Thanks Kanskar. I am learning a lot today. Sounds like there will be a new name of a child that died very young. I shall have to redo my Downton search. At the old Family Reserch Centre at Myddleton Road, the Downton section of the 1841 census was stated to be missing. Very good news, Toby.

Toby - Interestingly in 1841 John Foss was an Innkeeper.

Hi Kanskar,
                  I knew that there were Foss innkeepers in Dorset but have never found a connection with my Foss'. T shall have to wait until I have seen the actual 1841 entry before making any further commment. FREECEN doesn't mean anything to me.
          Thanks for your help. Toby.
