Bilsdon in 1841 Census

[helenbee]

I am looking for John Bilsdon in 1841.

In 1851 he is living in Uppingham in Meeting Lane, aged 35. Gives his place of birth as Uppingham so I expect he was there in 1841 too. Am looking for his family members.

Am also looking for any other Bilsdon families in Rutland in 1841, particularly Ayston or Uppingham.

Any help much appreciated as always,

many thanks

I can send you the Ayston census as its not very large and badly written so you can decipher it yourself.  Just PM me with your email addy.

As for Uppingham give me a couple of days as its 57 sheets to go through and he is not at the meeting place.

Hi Helen

I have looked through Uppingham which again is quite poor and could only find these.

Hi Paul

Thanks for mailing me Ayston census....I found 1 John there but it is not the right one altho' I think they are connected.

Not sure where our John was then in 1841....could have been anywhere I guess tho' don't suppose he strayed too far from Uppingham.

Thanks for your efforts,
Cheers Helen

Think I may be able to help you with this.

I am Aaron Bilsdon, Bath, Somerset. but have traced my family back to uppingham and as I recall to a John Bilsdon. I will post again to confirm details as I have nothing on me here at work at the moment.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the message. If you do have any info on John Bilsdon I would be very grateful. There were 2 John Bilsdons - 1 born in Ayston who appears there in the 1841 census, and our one that was born in Uppingham.

Look forward to hearing from you again,

Best regards
Helen

Yes John Bilsdon in Uppingham born 1816 is my line but I go back no further. did you get anywhere?

Hi - I'm not sure if you still need any help with this,  but I think I have found John & Elizabeth in 1841 in Rothwell Northants (wrongly transcribe on An**y) as Bilsam

HO107- 809 Bk 17 
Parish Rothwell

So it seems as though they were married by then - this marriage from Free BMD looks possible to me

Do you have any of the childrens birth certificates to give you the mother's maiden name?  If not you can still send for the marriage certificate - but only fill out the Grooms details on the aplication,  if it is the right one it will give you both their fathers.

just to confirm we are on the same people.

John Bilsdon (B1816-D1882) Born and died in Uppingham, Rutland
married Elizabeth (B1816 abt) Born in Toddington, Northamptonshire I think.

between them had about 9 children one of whom was Elizabeth born 1848 who had a son out of wedlock called Peter Bilsdon (taken the mothers surname) Born 1864 and he is my great great grandad and his is burried in Bath. I have his birth certificate and he was born as peter bilsdon and mother elizabeth bilsdon in uppingham workhouse and her father is john bilsdon.

I would really like to know his father but think that is probably impossible now.

I do not have the Birth Certificate or any of the 9 children but have been considering it just not got round to it and have only just found time again to start looking back into it.

do you have a public tree online somewhere?
