1851 census lookup please wiltshire

[pamissearching!!!]

Hello;
       Would someone be able to check the 1851 census for Mark Skull. He was born 1785 at Hilmarton and he died at Allington in 1861. His wife Anne died in 1850 at Kington Langley so he might be there in 1851. I do not know how close these places are. I would be very grateful. Cheers Pam

I appreciate this was posted in 2005, but I was doing a search of Kington Langley requests and noted this name (quite unusual). I then happened apon a Mark Scull while searching the Kington St. Michael OPC.

He was buried in 1861 on 26th Feb,  aged 75. Previously he was living at Allington.

There was probably a transcription error on the census noted, as it is likely to be Hilmarton not Kilmarton.

All the villages you noted are within walking distance of each other, and are situation just north of Chippenham, between Bath and Swindon in Wiltshire.

Thank you very much

No probs - if I get a chance would you like me to go check the churchyard for his gravestone?

Yes please. That would be wonderful.
