1851 census. H.O.107/2020 Josiah Pool b1809 Willenhall Staffs. or....have you ever heard of a 'Grusnah' as a females name? Many thanks Gerri.

Considering the writing, I think the transcriber did the best they could. I've tried blowing up the image and couldn't do any better. Have you found them in 1861? Oh dear, he's a widower. How about looking for likely deaths? J

Its very bad writing and unable to decipher. have found them on the 1861 and Josiah is then a widower. it might be better to find the death cert for G??? Shirley
