Am looking for 1841 Census which may have Thomas & Esther (Hester) Davis born about 1772. Also have 9 children of the above couple but there is a massive gap from 1794 to 1801, so am undoubtedly missing some there. Any ideas?
Thanks Jenny
To help with the searh, do you know where Thomas and Esther/Hester Davis were born and any of the children's names.
not always - remember that adult ages in the 1841 are supposed to be rounded to 5 years i.e. age 40,45,50,55,60 etc or births in 1801,1796,1791,1786, etc

Thomas was born in either Newent, or Rock Worcs and I don't know where Esther (Hester) was born. I think they were married at St Mary De Lode.
I am also trying to trace Ellen Davis, born Hartpury in 1829. In 1851, she had an illegitimate daughter - Alice and then they seem to disappear.
Thank you

Thank you
Maybe, but the ages don't quite match. How accurately did people know their age?
J
Maybe, but the ages don't quite match.
What sources are you trying to match with ?
