Hi

Can someone please have a look for William Thornes in the 1841 census i am going around in circles looking for him.

I have a death cert for him in November 1841 aged 56 so birth year would be around 1785. He died in Birmingham Warwickshire his occupation is a shoe maker the informant is his wife Hannah Thornes.

The surname is also known as Thorn/e/s.

Thank you Zena

What did he die of if it was consumption he may have died in a hospital in a workhouse, and for info 1861 census shows Hannah Thornes a cook at the Temperance Hotel Paradise Street Birmingham.
