Pheobe is head of the house so she must be a Widow. John Brooks is in the same house but down as Farm Servant but they have transcribed him as being on his own. Thats why I put both census on there. That must be how he met Hannah though. The 1841 census has two pages to look at viewed as one page. It is not until the next census that you only get one page to view at a time. |

I should think that Albert is Pheobe's grandson. Perhaps William was married to Rebecca although she is only 15!! The 1841 census is not very good because they rounded the ages up to 5 years sometimes. John Brooks is down as born 1825 and thats what I had put in when I found him. Hannah Beard is down for the right year of birth though at 1834. |

John Bloor and Marths were mistranscribed on the 1841 census thats why I could'nt find them |

Ooh, WELL DONE!!! Another piece of the jigsaw slotted in - if only the census was carried out in 1931! Never happy are we! |

Found John in 1841 he is a Servant for the family of Pheobe Bloor 65 a Farmer but has been put down seperately. Living at Bottom Lane, Ipstone.They are on page 1. Also on the next page 2 is John Bloor wife Martha and her daughter Hannah Beard aged 7 yrs. John Bloor is a publican aged 25 on this census and Martha too. |

If you can search by address I found somebody (i've marked possible, but my note is incomplete) at Broad Bottom, Aston & Oldham, Cheshire. I noted this address as some registrations for Ipstones/Bradnop read as Cheadle which is also Cheshire. |

I can't find Martha on the 1841 census which is annoying, or Hannah, or John Brooks!!!!!! B*m. |

Thanks Mel. I have a death for a Thomas Beard in 1838 which I think is probable the right one and a re-marriage for Martha in 1840 - to John Bloor. |

It gets really confusing as Martha Bloor was previously Beard (nee Stubbs). Hannah's father was Thomas Beard - now there are Beards all over the area! I have 2 Herbert Beards ca 1863 & 1865 - trying to find who goes where and with whom is proving another nightmare - somewhere along the line I think cousins married cousins! They are living at Dirty Gutter, Bottom House, Low House, Low Top!! But thats another subject entirely! |

Forgot to say they were living at Dirty Gutter and next door at Green Gutter was a Thomas Cope and his family. |

Hmmm some more investigation then! I thought they only used the same if the elder child had died! |

They are different dates for both John's otherwise I would have thought it was a transcription error. They are the only ones that come up and when I look on Ancestry I don't get a Millicent Brooks at all. Only one who would be too old. |
