Finding a 1851 census record for Drew Family

Rebecca Report 26 Jul 2013 12:01

Hoping someone a bit more clued up can help me find a census,

I have found the 1841 & 1861 census's but struggling with 1841. all DOB date estimates from census's

From 1841 census The Head of House is Thomas Drew born 1791 all lived in Cwmbreeth, Rhayader
Wife - Margaret born 1801
Children
John Vincent - 1821
Thomas - 1821
Danesey/Dantsey (male) - 1826
James Edmund - 1826
Vincent David - 1833 Found on separate 1851 census
Margaret - 1821
Elizabeth - 1828
Mary Ann - 1830
Alethea - 1834 Found on separate 1851 census
Fortune - 1837
Harriet - 1839 Found on separate 1851 census
Elizabeth Ann - 1841

On the 1861 census they lived at Ednol, Kington/Presteigne
Head of House is now Margaret, with children
Dantsey, Mary Ann, Fortune, Harriet & Elize M

I believe I may have found Thomas's death record for 1854 so he should still be head of house in 1851 but I can't find any record of them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Becky

TIP

When having problems, try searching - as I did - using forename and birth year only....together with County of residence

Brilliant, Thank you so much especially for such a quick response, will bear this in mind, I did select the similar matchs box but obviously that surname is complete different :-D
