Find Ancestors

Afternoon all, I am reserching family name of Scutt I have found my 4xGrandparents I think in the 1851 Census. They are Richard Scutt head, Wife, now this i am not sure about I cant read part of her name, it looks like it may well be Agness Charlotte.Could someone please have a look too and see what you think it is?There is also Ann, daughter and Richard, Son.I found them again in the 1871 Census without the father Richard but the son as head with mother Charlotte without the Agness or whatever before Charlotte this time. Also with Daughter Ann. Are they the same family? I would like too if someone can manage to look in the 1841 Census to see if there is a Samuel in that same family (son)? I know its quite a lot to do but I would be very greatfull if someone can help me sort this lot out, as I need to fit Samuel who was my 3x Grandfather in that family before i can be sure they are my Ancestors.Thanks, Val

Will look in the 1841 census for Samuel - do you know when and where he was born ? You would be better off working from Samuel and trying to fit him in with the rest of the family - rather than starting with the names you have given and trying to fit Samuel in with them (if you see what I mean)

Well you may be on the right lines as there is a Samuel with this family 1841 Richard Scutt 55 Ag lab Agnes 55 Anne 25 Richard 20 Samuel 15 Census 1841 TNA Ref HO107-0278 Image No 85 Folio No 2/27 Page No 8 Entry No 25 Location details County DORSET Superintendent Registrar's District WAREHAM & PURBECK Registrar's District BERE REGIS Enumeration District No 5 Parish BERE REGIS City WAREHAM Township Place BERE HEATH Household Number 545 Does Samuels age fit in with what you know ?

oh Elain you are wonderfull thankyou so much!! that seems to have filled in a great deal for me, and soooo quickly too!!. Dont supose i can be cheeky here lol and ask you if you can sort out if this Richard I have found in the 1881 Census could be the Richard Scutt (son) to the first family? He is married then to Sarah and have their Grandson Sidny R Russell living with them. This Grandson later went on to Murder his Grandmother Sarah Aghhhhhh. I think this Richard could possible be Samuel's brother. What do you think?

Not sure which Richard Scutt you are referring to - have found this one on the 1881 census Richard Scutt abt 1817 Bere Regis, Dorset, England Head Bere Regis Dorset ... which appears to be the one we have found in previous census so presume you are referring to this one and trying to tie him into the family Sidny R. Russell abt 1866 Willow, Wiltshire, England Grandson Bere Regis Dorset Richard R. Scutt abt 1814 Affpuddle, Dorset, England Head Bere Regis Dorset Sara M. Scutt abt 1808 Dorchester, Dorset, England Wife Bere Regis Dorset
