Look-Up Request

[Arranroots]

Hi Compo

And welcome! 

Are you taking the age from more than one census?  They are notoriously inaccurate anyway but bear in mind that the 1841 census rounded-down the ages of those over age 15.  Might make a difference?

Kind regards, Arranroots

hi, Thanks for your comments about census - i have the names of his children which I think confirms which William it is !! however I was wondering if everyone filled in these old censuses or did some escape ?? Cheers Phil

Phil,

There were very many people who viewed census taking, especially the 1841, with suspicion so slept in the fields or a barn for a night

P.S.  Two for the price of one!  My wife asked if I'd like coffee and I managed to send it twice whist replying

Thanks for all your help - any record of marraige of Joseph b 1772 in Lechlade - and his children probably born in Lechlade !!  hope you enjoyed your coffee. Phil

Chatters,

Regarding the fact that marriages at Lechlade although given by BT's according to the LDS Library Catalogue, do not appear in any Batch of extractions, I typed an explanatory note and included a question asking why not.

I gave it to the LDS person supervising their FHC  and he said he would try to find out but added that it might be because it wasn't done!

I've booked in for next week and if I get a decent answer I'll post a new message, else . . . . . .

Regards

Chas

Thanks Chas - you're a fount of information!

Phil,

Following from my last:-   else . . . . you'll need to hire the LDS film for marriages and baptisms might be in the HW site I quoted in my first message.

Regards

Chas

P.S.

Just had a phone call about the subject of marriages not extracted.  Seems the answer is as expected - they were not included - so a search of the film it is     BUT there's always the possibility of a look-up be a kind visitor to Gloster R.O.
