1841/1851 Census lookup for MITCHELL

[JaneBid]

Well ya never know. 

Maria DAVIS is the Maria Mitchell found in the 1851 census as wife of George Mitchell ... which you kindly provided .... and it does say Taunton .... which is the birthplace given on the shipping manifest.... which is also where I got her parents names. It did say her father was deceased at that time. They were in Australia by 1854. She would have been 20 in 1841.

You have given me so much to go on. I really appreciate it.

LOL realised that when you mentioned she married George. I had been looking for a 1 year old till then. Sorry I still can't see anything. Can't see a Maria Listing as 20 in Somerset. She does not appear in Illminster at this time. There are none in Taunton. Davis is such a common name so sticking to exact spelling Maria Davis there are some 15 year olds I have chased up (a 19 year old would list as 15 if the enumerator followed instruction) 2 are servants 1 has wrong father and if I use variants there are just hundreds of Mary Maria Maryanne Davis Davies etc. Sorry Just don't think I can help you with this one.

One more thought I don't suppose you have marriage licence do you? Guessing not as you mention getting her parents from Shipping manifest but marriage licence would give address at marriage. Just a chance that might help.....Kris

Thanks for all the help Kris. I will remember to stick to one family when I do   any posts .... I started out with the one but I tend to get carried away.
Thank you.
