Census lookup Harrington

[claretnblue]

Hi,

I'm trying to find Benjamin Harrington (born 1822 Church Aston) in the 1851, 1861, 1871 census.

In 1841, he was in census living at Wellington, Shropshire
In 1881, he was living in daughter Mary's household as a widower living in Lilleshall, Shropshire

Regards,

Do you have a wife for Benjamin ?? there is a record for A Benjamin 28/7/1868 ( criminal record ) for larceny in Shropshire might be a different Benjamin

I don't have any details of a wife, no.

He was a coal miner is all I know about him, and he had a daughter called Mary born circa 1852 in lilleshall.

1851 census Staffordshire Benjamin Arrington ( miner ) 28. wife Mary 29, Elizabeth 5, William 3, also George Malden ( nephew ) .A tree on Ancestry has Benjamin's wife down as Mary Jones

1891 Census Benjamin is with his son John and family

The only Mary in this family in 1861 is Benjamin's wife, where do you have Mary bn 1852 

OK so she is AKA Priscilla

Thanks all.

Only one way to find out of this is correct Benjamin, I'll send for his marriage cert (to Mary Jones, 1843 Wellington).

I know Benjamin's father was William, and he died 1827; see what marriage cert says.
