Ah,.... Thanks Margaret...I had that but I must admit that I forgot about the rounding down... I was thinking I had twins... but not necessarily Thanks Gloria

This looks like them in 1841: Thorp Green, Thorpe le Soken, Essex John Day, 20 ag. lab. Elizabeth, 15 Thomas, 15 William, 13 Robert, 12 Keep in mind that on the 1841 census all ages above 15 are rounded down to the nearest 5, so that John could be anywhere from 20-24 and Elizabeth and Thomas could be anywhere from 15-19.

Thanks Reggie... I had thought of that but apart from spending money I wasn't sure how to go about it... I guess my research has come to a coclusion on that line GLORIA

Looking at the layout of the census info, I would suspect that Ann Hewitt is the mother.......widowed, re-married, and widowed again........... Would need to be looked into and checked....... Reg

The marriage cert of any one of them will tell you the father's name and occupation........ Reg

In the 1841 census .... I have John Day 1817, Elizabeth Day 1826, Thomas Day 1826, William Day 28 and Robert Day 1831 All Siblings by the looks of it.... I would love to know who their parents are ? Later census's show that they were born in Thorpe Essex I have tried the IGI...but no luck..if I am looking correctly...... THANKS FOR LOOKING GLORIA
