William Wanstall 1841 Census

[RanneFraser]

Now i'm officially confused. I have William Sr dying December 26, 1846 in Margate and Mary dying as you said November 25, 1845, but you have him going off to sea.

However, yours does make more sense since i couldn't find a census for Mary Ann (daughter married to James Snell in 1843 London) or Mary Smith(mother).

I wish i had saved the explanation from the Wanstall expert that i spoke with as to why he believed William was from Bekesbourne. Too many Williams 

Thank you, have a nice evening!

Whoops! 

Typo from me Date of Issue of Ticket for William Wanstall (Snr possible) should be 31 December 1844.  I have edited the original.

Update as promised on the link between the four ladies in that 1841 census at St Martins in the Field. 

James and Mary Smith had many children including Mary born c1888, Hannah, c1889 and Charity, c1896 all of whom were baptised in Chislet.

James Palfrey married Hannah Smith at Herne on 14 March 1807.  Following that he was a witness at the marriage of William Wanstall to Mary Smith (18/5/1807, Fordwich)  The other witness was Hannah Smith (sic) 

James and Hannah Palfrey had a daughter Charlotte baptised December 1820 at Reculver.

Charity Smith, Mary Wanstall (nee Smith) with her daughter Mary and Charlotte Palfrey are all together on that 1841 census return as in my previous posting.

Hope this makes sense, plus I think it adds more credibility to your William Wanstall being the one born in Fordwich in 1808.

That makes complete sense, thank you for sharing! I had William Sr in the 1841 census, but now i have to go over everything to figure out why i felt that was the right one.
