I think as CARTWELL in 1841

Born Wiltshire, England
St George Ogbourne

William Cartwell  50 . A labourer.
Mary Cartwell  45
Thomas Cartwell  15
Jane Cartwell  10
George Cartwell  8

All born county

Piece 1185
Book 8
Page Number 1

Hi Sue,

Thanks for this, perhaps this is why I am unable to find them in 1841 or 51. I have no Idea why they would be listed as Cartwell but the family names and ages roughly line up. I'll see what I can dig up based on the name Cartwell.

Thanks for your assistance

That looks good Sue and also puts George with the family  :).  Looking at other entries on that page I think it says Castwell

Living in Aldbourne Wiltshire. 1851
Piece 1686
Folio 568
Page Number 17

G. CASSWELL. (my reading)
 
On the original image the double s is formed in the old fashioned way which resembles a lower case f.
A trap when one is not used to it. ::)
It has been transcribed as CAPWELL, but I think this is wrong.
 
Does anyone have any thoughts on it?

This man is aged 17 Born on Ogbourn St Geo. and is a groom in a household headed by Thomas Kenson, a farmer of 500 acres.


Census 1851 possibility for some other family members 

Piece 1838
Folio 114
Page Number 29

Living at Ogbourn St George.

William CASWELL, Head aged 60. Ag Lab. born Overton Wilt.
Jane CASWELL, wife aged 21
And a lodger

Errors in census reportings are common.  I would venture to suggest that Jane is not wife, but daughter to William.  See 1841.

Next door but one to William is -

Thomas CASWELL. Head aged 25. Ag Lab. born Ogbourn St Geo.
Eliza Ann CASWELL. Wife aged 23. Born Ogbourn St Geo.
Henry . Son aged 3.

I don't think that there is any doubt that entry is George, FindMyPast have it as Casswell  :)

I also agree about the family with Jane being the daughter though I can't see Mary anywhere, possibly staying overnight and helping out with family and not listed .

Thanks for this Sue,

I never knew about the old fashioned double s resembling a lower case f so i'll keep that in mind during my research.

I would agree that must be an error in the record as his daughter Jane was born in 1830 which puts her at 21 in the 1851 census.

The family next door but one are, Williams Son Thomas who married Eliza Ann Simms. Their son Henry was born in 1848, which again makes the ages line up, I was unable to find these so thanks for your help!

Richard Green of West kennet in Wiltshire.
 died in  1725.  Not  sure of his birth place.    And Ann Caswell b. 1736 Avebury  in Wiltshire.  Also researching  : Cook and Beake of Avebury  and Marlborough .
