My Newbury/Berkshire family

Seems I've missed that one off the tree all together!

[Deb Clark Rennie]

I can't find it in ancestry (the 1841 census) but I have on find my past and it looks like sexon but that doesn't make sense ... how can I send you a copy?

[candrjm]

Not to worry, I was hoping that it would give either Carpenter or Cabinet Maker as John's occupation, no such luck!

[Deb Clark Rennie]

What on earth is a sexon?  I could be reading it wrong

This looks like John Totty Mayo in 1851:

Can you see if you can find this census and see if there is anybody else in the same household please?
 (I think an....ry has him recorded as John Potley Mayo)

[Deb Clark Rennie]

On ancestry it's only John Potley or Polly ... hard to tell but looks like it starts with a P and Mary they are in an almshouse and he is a shoemaker?

[candrjm]

does it say where Mary was born?

Transcription says New York Wiltshire :-). But the written is hard to read as it has a bit of a line through it. But it looks nothing like Wiltshire
