John Mills born Tawstock 6 October 1822 - 1841 census?? Camborne?

[Philezra]

Hi - I have parents William (shoemaker) and Mary Mills living in Boutport Street, Barnstaple in 1841 with daughter Ann (can't read her occupation) born/bapt. 12 Sept 1824.

No sign of Elizabeth (born 1826) and no sign of John.

John marries Elizabeth Davey on 20 July 1848 in Camborne.

Can anyone find him in 1841 - I know the census will give an 18-year old as 15 years old??

Thank you

I'm going nuts - why can't I find them in 1851? I have simply put in the basic info.

I was referring to 1851 (but thank you) - - is it an issue with transcription on A***ry or just me? :-)

1848 marriage shows John Mills was a carpenter
Children’s baptisms in Camborne show John Mills as a Carpenter or builder
1861 census shows occupation for John was carpenter
I would expect the census to show John Mills in the same occupation. (not Printer)

1841 census Camborne Cornwall (writing on image is rather pale)
Wm Baker 35 shoemaker
John Mills 20 carpenter
Honor Piondgey? 14 servant

Her father Thomas was a mason – this confirmed on her marriage record
