1841 Census Selby Lookup
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 12:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for Bessey (or Betsey) Welburn born 1829 Hemingborough district (christened Escrick church)
She is the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Welburn. The family, except for Bessey are on the 1841 census in Hemingborough.
I am lead to understand she shows up on the census 1841 in Selby, and I am interested to find out why, or who with, maybe working or with relatives.
I know that by 1853 and later she is back in the Escrick/Hemingborough area.

Thanks in advance
Dave

Wow, thanks for that, and so fast.

It now gives me the problem of Why?  I will just have to work on the names, and see if I can find a link.
