**COMPLETED**1871 MDX Census Lookup - MERRILL

[Janoz]

Greetings

Could someone please help me find Augustus William MERRILL in 1871
Apparently born 1844 London MDX.  Wife Jemima born 1843 Cambridgeshire.

1861 living London Middlesex

1881 living Wolverhampton, Stafford, England. Compositor (Printer) [sp Merrall]

Both fathers William
Both Mothers Mary

I am particularly interested in any info on Jemima and possible children.

Thanks for your attention
Jan

RG10 piece 653 folio 80 page 19

There's a August William Merrill age 37, printer compositer, b Middlesex City of London but his wife is Ellen Maria age 26 b Middlesex, Westminster.

Kids Marian Louisa aged 4
Elizabeth Emma 7 months both born Surrey Lambeth

[Janoz]

Thanks for that Jonquill.

Perhaps Ellen Maria died before 1881.  Or there are two Augustus. One b.1834 and one born 1844. 

Anyway it gives me something to work with and I appreciate your help.

Cheers
Jan

I checked the age again - Ancestry has transcribed it 27 so dob 1844 and name Marvill (I used Findmypast to find it originally) - there is enumerators mark through the age so I may be wrong about it being 37.

Maybe get second opinion from other listers?
