Census for Thomas Roberts, a carpenter

[bones5]

Hi,

I have just edged back another generation and wonder if Thomas Roberts, who married Sarah Bibby in 1796 in Cheshire is on the 1841 census? As he is listed as a carpenter on his marriage, it may be a bit easier to find him. He is probably born around 1770-1776.

I haven't looked for a death yet as I wanted to see if he and Sarah are on the census.

Thanks for any help. : )

They married in Chester, did they stay there

Hi rosie99 and thanks for your reply.

I don't know, sorry. I can ny assume they stayed near Chester or moved onto the Wirral, where family were. I just have the marriage and was hoping they did make it onto the 1841 census, so I have a rough birth date.

[rosie99]

Did they have children.  If so where were they born and where did they live

I have a daughter Elizabeth baptised in 1799 in Chester, parents Thomas and Sarah Roberts.

How sure are you that you have the correct parents?

There is an Elizabeth Roberts 1798 to John and Mary. John is a Gardener

I'm not 100% sure. I'm trying to get evidence together to check and make sure. I have Elizabeth Roberts born Parkgate from census and I'm trying to tie it all in. Where is the Elizabeth Roberts born with parents John and Mary?

Also in Chester.

St John the Baptist 4 March 1798

Thank you. How can I be certain which one is correct? Or is it impossible? Daughter Elizabeth ended up on the Wirral or lived there as a child and was baptised in Chester, which is making it harder to determine her parents.

Thanks very much for all your replies.
