Hello Rosemary.I did wonder about that.Looks like the 41 and 51 are the same family but they were a bit liberal rounding the ages off in 41.!!!

I have to agree with Isobel. I live in Shropshire and i have never heard of Whitworth?? The only Whitworth i know of is up in Lancashire. If you want to provide what information you have already im sure a few of us will see what we can find for you. Regards. Andy

The census is taken every 10 years, so there's one 1841 and one in 1851. What is your ggg grandfather's name and do you know when and where he was born? nell

Victor Report 4 Jul 2005 17:03
