1841 Census lookup please
« on: Wednesday 23 September 09 04:04 BST (UK) »
Hi there,

My S-I-L  is trying to find out if there is a Charles and Mary Humphreys on the 1841 census Cheltenham.  They may have a son by the name of John who was born in Bath, Somerset in 1822. John is the youngest of six children. My S-I-L does not know the names of John's other siblings

Thank you for your help

Regards

do you have any other info'? as doing a quick search could only find these in the area you mention
no John, But the age he is he may well have left home or is old enough to be working etc
do you have him/them in later census to maybe help with occupation/where living etc
also HUMPHREYS is an easy name to get mispelt

Thank you very much for that.

I do not have much info at all.

I think John was known as John Joseph or Joseph John Humphreys.
He may have left home early as he was in the army and worked his way up to be a captain.

All I know at this stage he was th youngest of six children born Bath, Somerset, England in 1822. The family moved to Worcester in 1823 and he was baptized in 1827.
