Hi Jim,

Interesting...

I have....1841, Old Croft, Dean Forest
George Meek 1801 40 Labourer Born in this county
Elizabeth Meek 1801 40 Not born in this county
Thomas Meek 1823 18 Blacksmith Born in this county
Elizabeth Meek 1831 10 Born in this county
William Meek 1833 8 Born in this county
George Meek 1836 5 Born in this county

The only reason I felt my census information was correct was that Thomas Meek, who is my interest is stated as being a Blacksmith - and that was his occupation throughout his life, and ties in with the rest of my info, although I have his birth as 1821 and not 1823.

I could still be wrong though!
Kind regards,
Christine
