Hi James

the 1841 of Overton is pretty awful to read ........very faded. However managed to find:
HO107/392/19 Page 6
Winchester Street, Overton

James Brooker, 55
Martha, 55
Martha, 30
Sarah, 25
Charlotte, 20
Mary (?Amy), 20

Looked on a bit to find George Brooker, 25, ag lab in Quidhampton, just outside Overton.
1841 does not give place of birth only "born in county-Yes or No". All were "yes" in this case. Also ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 years, which implies that James and Martha were actually between 55 and 60, although very often ages can be taken with a large pinch of salt!!

Hope this helps
