Thanks for all that information, so much to be digested and assessed for personal relevance.

You mentioned the marriage of Silvanus Vick and Ann Lancashire in 1830 (our ancestors) and also that an 1846 death of a 62 year old Silvanus Vick would not be the same person. An alternative death for "our" ancestor is 1861 which I do not feel suits the social history we know, ie they had left the farm in Colwall in 1844 and all children were living with relatives at the 1851 census. Is there any chance that the "62" for age on the CD could be a typo for 52?

I cannot find the wife Ann, born 1805 in Denby, in any 1841 census returns despite extensive searching and had thought she'd died following the birth of the daughter born earlier in 1841. However, she showed up a couple of years later in a newspaper article. Is there any chance that a definite sighting appears in any Gloucestershire death records you have access to? I found a digitised copy of a parish register for a death of Ann Vick, wife of Silvanus Vick in Brecon in 1850. Innkeeper was recorded. That is my current favourite as her death as it still fits in with kids being with relatives at the next census.

The 30 year old Hannah Vick in the family's 1841 census records remains a mystery. I guess she must be a cousin and I've tried to see if she fits in with other Vick families but have yet to find A Hannah Vick which seems correct. Do you have any ideas please?

Many thanks for your time and thought.
