Hi I'm looking for the above, born c. 1821. Possible parents Joseph and Isabel (or Isabella) Lennox (sometimes Lenox) in or around Newcastle. If these are the correct parents then there should be at least the following siblings - some may have left home already judging by the ages!:

John (c.1815)
Joseph (c. 1817)
Mary (c. 1823)
Robert (c. 1832)

Thanks,
Clare

Thanks Selena..I don't think there are anymore! I can only find the five of them!

And...thanks! Looks like they're both him! I have no idea who he's living with in 1841 though! :)

Clare, the 1841 census you've been given gives his occupation as chairmaker, as does the 1851.
