1841 Census Northumberland - AINSLEY

[Lynne EnZed]

Hello

Can someone help please with lookups from the Northumberland 1841 Census for James AINSLEY born about 1833 and also for a Jane AINSLEY born about 1831? (They will not be together.)

Thank you very much.

Kind regards and God bless you,

Hi Lynne

In 1841 there are two James one born about 1833 the other 1834. One is with a family the other in the workhouse. Which one do you require?

Hi Evie!

The one in the workhouse is probably the most likely but what are the names of the parents of the one born 1833 with the family please? The one born 1834 will be too young.

Thanks!

Hi Lynne

Sorry I confused you.

The 1833 James is the one in Glendale Union Workhouse at Wooler, an inmate

The 1834 one is with

James Ainsley 30, Labourer
Jane Ainsley 30
Joseph Ainsley 4
Elizabeth Ainsley 5 month
James Ainsley 7

Living Blandford Street, Westgate, Newcastle. All born in County.

What I found interesting on this one is that James was the last named rather than the first i.e. after the other children. Unfortunately the 1841 does not give relationships as you know so James and Jane may not be his parents. Also the ages on census were not always accurate.

These are the two I found bearing in mind that the spelling was correct, there may be others that were transcribed differently.

Hi Evie

It will be James in the workhouse at Wooler! Have tried the various spellings (AINSLEY/AINSLIE/AYSNLEY) on the 1841 index at Ancestry but could not bring up any others that matched.

There is a christening on the IGI for James at Wooler in late 1832 so it is likely to be him at the workhouse. May I have the reference number please from the census (piece, folio, etc).

Looks like the rest of the family may have died. His parents were William and Jane and there were sisters Jane born (late) 1830 and Mary born 1834 but cannot find any sign of them.

The entry you found for Jane is interesting!?  Hmmm! May have to do some more research!!!

Thank you very much!

Looking at the 1851

James is down as the son of James and Jane, born Gateshead - see family above. Living with them is father in law Joseph Green.

The 1833 one could possibly be born Morpeth, Woodman, living with sisters Margaret and Mary Maria (born c1837) Going from your last post he doesn't seem likely.

Hi Evie

Thank you for the workhouse reference.

Not sure about the two James' you found in 1851? 

The one born Gateshead is unlikely to have been in the Wooler workhouse and then appear with parents in 1851? Where were they living in 1851 and what were the birthplaces of other family? What did you mean by "- see family above"?

Re James with sisters Margaret and Mary Maria - would have to find them in 1841 to rule them out.

It is possible James from the workhouse in 1841 had died by 1851 or be under a different spelling?

Thanks for your help!

The one born in Gateshead was just to confirm that he was not your James, as he was actually the son of the family I found in 1841 for you. Reply #3. I agree this is not your James.

I will have a look for a death and/or if the one in the workhouse is around in 1851 under a different spelling etc.
