Karli


The ages of the children are wrong on the 1851 you posted.


This is the version from ancestry


1851 Census

Name: Thomas Lovett
Age: 45
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1806
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Martha Lovett
Gender: M (Male)
Where born: Jarrow, Durham, England

Civil parish: Durham St Giles
County/Island: Durham
Country: England

Registration district: Durham(Street Indexed)
Sub-registration district: St Nicholas

Thomas Lovett 45 Coal MIner
Martha Lovett 51 b.ca 1800, Shiney Row, Durham
John Lovett 23 b.ca 1828, Hetton, Durham, Coal Miner
Dorothy Lovett 14 b.ca 1837, Hetton, Pit Boy
Joseph Lovett 12 b.ca 1839, Hetton
Robert Musgrove 21 Lodger




a couple of tips for searching ....................


1. it often helps to look for children rather than a parent.

2. Ages for adults over the age of 15 were supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 5 on the 1841 Census ............ it did not always happen, some enumerators did not do it. But always search on the 1841 for age +/- 5 years (or even +/- 10 years).

3. It is often better to use fewer knowns rather than more when searching. Thus search for county, but not a birth place ............... this may differe, or be absent on a different census

4. Use the wild card symbols * and ? if possible. ? searches for 1 missing character, while * searches for more than 1.

Thus ............... I search for Tho*s, because that is often how Thomas is written on censuses.

I searched for Lov*t ..... in case it appears as Lovit ............ our ancestors were not at all literate!!!!
