I am interested in Mary Bussey born 1826 and married thomas hart but in 1841 census i can't make out the rest of the family. i do think it has been mistranscribed due to the fact i can only find 1 of the siblings after 1841.that being timothy. Mary bussey born 1826 st giles Timothy Bussey 1801 st giles but believe this to be 1826 also. any help gratefully recieved 1841 census ho107/673 folio 7 page 6.

Bufsey would be Bussey. Dressmaker would have been written as drefsmaker. It does look like both Timothy are shown as age 40 but given the order they are listed he is probably younger Oh dear just taken another look - could there be three Timothy - 40,40 and 4 ?

Ok, that's hard to read! Here's what I have: (looks like they started to write 'Tho'(mas?) but then it's changed to be possibly Timothy although the end looks like 'phy' or maybe even the 'sshy' - perhaps someone was a lazy speaker when they said Timophy *grins*no idea how they came up with murphy though) 40 - cotton mill - not born of that county Mary 40 - not born of that county. Mary 15 - servant Timothy 40 (same as first maybe they rewrote it because they realised how illegible it was? but then this Timothy is of the same county) M?? 9 (male but can only make out that M - presume this is the one they think is William) Emma 6 The 4 year old... looks like a Thi but not Thitty as it's transcribed... not sure what though. Man who ever wrote that shoulda had their fingers slapped, perhaps he wasn't sure of the 9 year olds name and rather than asking again he just made a squiggle lol.

Summer Scribe and Glitter Baby Thank you very much for your help.Now you can see what i am up against.Will have to send off for mary's Marriage certificate and hope it sheds some light on the family. again thank you

Ok that 4 year old... bugging me... looks like Thithy?? *shakes head* I'm beaten.

Hope you can get something useful from the marriage cert at least you have that to go to. :)

Summer Scribe I think this Thitty character was born before sep 1837 as can't figure out the correct certificate for birth, you have been a great help thank you

Elizabeth, you're welcome, I love a good puzzle.

Summer Scribe this is now getting the better of me as i can find any of them.will keep trying though. lizz

Long shot 1851 Emma Buzzy abt 1836 St Giles, Middlesex, England Pauper St Giles in The Fields Middlesex Mary Buzzy abt 1788 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Pauper St Giles in The Fields Middlesex

Hello, The 4 year old is a girl called Kitty! Deb:)

Jim Thanks for that i will look into that Deb do you know if she would have a certificate or was she born before, lizz

Going by what I can read on the document, Kitty was born in 1837. I'll have a look and see if I can find her birth ref. Deb:) No luck. I've searched for a Catherine/Katherine Bussey b c1837. Nothing for her on Pallots either. Sorry.

Deb Thanks for all you help,i hope i can get to the bottom of this soon lizz

To all that have helped in this thread here is the conclusion. I got the marriage certificate today and father is down as Timothy ,quite how you get murphy from timothy i don't know must have been the bottle of whiskey the transcriber had before hand. Timothy was a fishmonger . again thank you for all you help. regards Lizz
