Where are John & Harriet Yelf in 1841? - COMPLETED -Thanks
« on: Monday 23 November 09 19:35 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to locate the following family in the 1841 census:

John Yelf: b.1802  Newport. IOW
Harriet (wife) b.1805 Bucks
Children:
Emma Sophia b.1833 Southampton, Hamps
Jack Robert b.1835 Andover, Hamps
Harriet b.1838 Andover, Hamps

I have located them in 1851 living in New Windsor.

If someone can find them I would be very grateful.
Many thanks

Hi
I think you have found them.

The last child called Mary was registered in 1840 as Mary Ann. Unfortunately, her death was registered in June quarter 1942 in Windsor. Which means they must have moved to Windsor shortly after the census.
I knew the family had gone to Windsor but did not realise they had lived for a while in Eton.

Many thanks.
