Thanks Margee but that does not look like the one I found. John was living in Yardley Worcestershire.

Judging by the 1851 he was married to Margaret in 1841 with three children William 14 , Margaret 12, and John 10

Thanks for your help

I thought that might be the one because the wife was 5 years older and the son John was the right age.

Thanks for all your Help Margee. I think the one Stuart found is the one I am looking for. I didnt realise they lived in manchester for a few years. So that information from Dea was very helpful.

All the best

My 1841 fits with your 1851 Jane, but not I think with the 1841 census you initially asked about. Margee's 1841 would be a better match for that.

Dea

Dea Report 21 Mar 2014 11:46

I still feel sure that Stuart's 1841 is the correct one - even the occupation fits. (Machine Maker // Engineer )
