1851 census - CLARKE family, Hinckley

[JClarke]

Hi Mark and Mike

Don’t talk to me about Clarke’s and Leicestershire! Mark, mine originate from Mountsorrel – so far.

Anyway, read your thread for obvious reasons and will fill in the 1851 census details where there seems to be a slight discrepancy at the end.

Ref: HO107/2082/278 Page 18
Address: Castle Street, Hinckley. (no. 56 on the schedule)

All surnames Clarke unless stated.

George – 47 – Head – Mar – Clock Maker – Leicester, Hinckley
Sophia – 46 – Wife – Mar – Stocking Maker Cotton – Leicester, Barwell
George – 18 – Son – Unm – Stocking Maker Cotton – Leicester, Hinckley
Elizabeth – 15 – Daur – Unm – Stocking Maker Cotton – Leicester, Hinckley
Hugh – 11 – Son – Winder – Leicester, Hinckley
Samuel – 9 – Son – Winder – Leicester, Hinckley
Sophia – 3 – Daur – Scholar – Leicester, Hinckley
Ezekial – 1 - Son – Leicester, Hinckley
Jane Wright – 79 – Mother in Law – Widow – Pauper – Leicester, Kirby
Samuel – 37 – Nephew – Mar – Stocking Maker (Cotton) – Leicester, Hinckley

Keep up the hunt – good luck.

Thanks

Yes, that confirms that Sophia was Sophia Wright.

Thank you.

Greeting's John.....

Sorry..... But I don't see how discrepancy comes into it...
My post clearly states that the information was from an
INDEX ONLY Census return.......
Therefore the name of Wright wouldn't come under the surname of Clarke.
Also the date of my post was before the release of the 1851 Census scans of the original returns, where I could have seen the whole of the Household and I would have stated the whole family ......

Hi Mike

Your original post mentioned a James 37, which I took to be the nephew that turned out to be Samuel on the census image.

Rest assured, only trying to be helpful.
