Do you have access to Ancestry/

Go to 1841 census - scroll down page

For more information about this database, click here.

So click and then scroll down again. You will see that some pieces for Wiltshire are missing and it looks like Market Lavington are included on the list

oh gawd- just my luck! yes i do have access to ancestry, didn't even know that part existed to say where they might/might not have. ok well thanks anyway glitter baby.

any ideas as to how i might prove a connection between Fanny born 1833 and Ann possibly born 1823 without finding them together on the census? they were both born before certs.

p.s thank youuu

Thank you James! is this from the IGI? i thought i had checked it for them but obviously missed it. so does that mean that ALL the children on that list belonged to lucy and james?

i know it sounds silly but i was told that sir william quiller orchardson's wife was my ancester ann's neice. my great aunt told me that she was sarah janes daughter but by the census it looks like it was fanny not sarah. fanny married Charles Moxon and it was her daughter. i know that is a tenuous connection but i just thought it was interesting and wantted to know a bit more.

thank you all. xx
