Someone did a search for me earlier on the 1851 census, it was for William Booth b.1801 and Mary Booth, astbury, congleton area.

The person said living with them was Leming Booth age 24.
Could someone check that for me? i've been looking to see if the name leming even exists as a first name. seems strange. correct me if im wrong!!

Hannah

Yes hannah thats what it says altho on the actual census it look's look's like it's spelled Leeming.

Pam

Do you need any other info from the census.

Pam

Ah right, thanks Pam! I guess i'll see if Leeming exists. Strange name i havent heard of it as a first name before.

What is the other info on the census?
I dont suppose it says where Mary Booth was born does it?
William's occupation?

William is an Inn Keeper in 1851


William and Leeming born Mottram and Mary born Stockport


Maureen

Mary was born in Stockport, Cheshire, William was a Inn Keeper and Leeming was a book keeper.

Pam

you beat me to it Glitter Baby, LOL im not very fast at typing.

Pam

Thanks very much thats great. Does it say the address at the time?

One other big ask, could you look for william and mary on the 1841 census, their children are on there too and see what the occupations and address was then? Thanks!

None of them born in county
william is a publican

ah i wonder if someone gave me the wrong 1851 census earlier on because the 1841 census shows william b.1801 and mary with their children amos, edward and william. astbury cheshire area.

Thats the one i was looking for for 1851 and then someone gave me the one with leeming in, and i did wonder why he wasnt on the 1841 census.

So i guess i need the right 1851 census now, if all that makes sense!!?? sorry girls.

And if you need the address for 1851 it's 7 Market Street.
Pam

and i know that the original 1841 census is right because im related to the son william.

1851 census
7 Margaret St., Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire
William Booth, head, 51, inn keeper, born Mottram, Cheshire
Mary, wife, 56, born Stockport, Cheshire
Leeming, son, 24, book keeper, born Mottram, Cheshire

the 1841 census is right, thats william, mary and their children amos, edward and william b.1836 (william is related to me)
Its the 1851 census that i think was wrong- because william was only 5 in 1841 so he would still be at home in 1851.
Am i just confusing everything?

1841 is this the right family?

Andy

Thanks Andy,
I think their son william should be on there though because he would only be about 15?
also i think william was born in about 1801 but are there sometimes mistakes?

Don't forget about the rounding of ages on the 1841 census.
