Same Occ as the 1871

its strange as on the IGI today i found Thomas and Lucy as James and Georges parents but nothing matches on the censuses records

I've updated my post above to try to clarify the relationships.

OK

James is at a different address but is down as Son & is with Sarah Davenport & Mary A Bever

Ahhhh i think Chrissa got it!!.. as it says mary bever... in fact Mary A maiden name is Burr so could be mispelt as Bever on the census

So you're pretty certain Thomas & Lucy are parents?


Ozi.

Clou the actual image does say Burr not bever (1861)


Just realised I didn't post this with the census info

Source Citation: Class: RG9; Piece: 2147; Folio: 55; Page: 37; GSU roll: 542925

Yeah im fairly certain that thomas and lucy are parents.

and many thanks for finding the 1861/51 and 41 census.

Also i notice sarah is on the 1851 like she was on the 1861 so they could be siblings but where was the siblings in between james and sarah.

Deffo very puzzling!!
