Brilliant stuff! Could anybody clarify just a couple of points for me? In the Hammonds Census Search, what is the relationship of William Hoy to the family? Is an occupation listed for James Clements and James Hamond? In the 1841 Clements search, what is the relationship of Job & Martha Bird to the Clement's family? Also, does John Clements have an occupation? Sorry to be a pain, and thanks in advance!! Lee x

Cheers for the info Reg! Lee

The 1841 census does not list relationships.........nor does it give birthplaces. It merely says whether born in or out of county of residence. Exceptions are people born in other countries. It also rounds down to the nearest '5', the ages of all over-15's.............although there are a (very) few exceptions, where enumerators record actual ages of over-15's. Reg

In 1861, William Hoy was a Lodger Reg

In 1841, John Clements is a Servant Reg
