Just a reminder that as well as the ages being rounded down relationships where not recorded on the 1841 census so to assume that all in that household with the same surname where siblings, son's and daughters or even husband and wife could be wrong

Thanks Adeline, you have picked up on Henry Gilbert 1810 and his wife Ann Brooks 1817 together with there four children. They went on to have a further four children prior to 1851 (just in case anybody pops up again and tells me that I'm not giving all of the relevant data).

Rootgatherer, Henry senior's name comes from a family bible, the name is written as Henery and the dob is almost illegable. 188?
As for Esther the data is even less definate. Henry 1810 "was baptised on 25 December 1810, the son of Henry and Esther".

rootgatherer,

Henry's name comes from a family bible. The entry is barely legible and reads Henry Gilbert 188? Lessness Heath.
Esther's name comes from church baptism records for Henry junior in December 1810.
