Cheshire: James LIMB, Born 1839
« on: Thursday 28 November 13 14:25 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I wonder if anyone can find the 1861 England Census entry for James LIMB, alternatives LYMM, LINK and LAMB, born in Preston Brook, Cheshire, in 1839 the son of John LIMB (1814) and Elizabeth (nee MADDOCK) (1817).   He was christened at Daresbury, Cheshire, on 13/07/1839.

Ancestry and FamilySearch have no entries or, rather, ones that I have been able to find.   I have no other options for Census research.

Thank you for your help,

BAC3

Do you have him on later census, I see he was a prisoner age 11 in 1851.

Thank you for looking.

Possibly I should have mentioned that I have all other Census entries except the elusive 1861.

 Just  seen  a Tree  on Ancestry that    shows an entry on the  Criminal  records for a James Lymm,  1851,  the record  says he   was   sentenced to Transportation for 7 years  so maybe  he was sent  to Australia  after 1851   census ,   tho the  tree has him  marrying in 1862  in the  UK ,

He spent the whole of his 7 year transportation sentence in Parkhurst Prison and was eventually released on 26/03/1858.

It is the 1861 England Census only that I am looking for as I have the rest of his life story......he does not appear on the 1861 enumeration with his parents and could have been living elsewhere.

 He did come back but maybe not before 1861.
There is another record for him 19 Oct 1868 sentenced to 3 months hard labour at Knutsford for stealing
