Tim Sunter's family history

A web log of my family history research

1841 Census William Sunter

1841 Census

This is the earliest Census data availalbe.  It is 1841 and again the Sunter family is strong in Lodge Green.

  • Thomas Sunter, 60, Lead miner

  • Mary Sunter, 60

  • Thomas Sunter, 30, Lead miner

  • Christopher Sunter,25 Lead miner

  • William Sunter,  15, Lead miner

  • Ruth Peacock 15

 

There has to be a question mark over this William Sunter.  If the 1841 Census is correct then William should have been about 17 in 1841.  But have a look at the ages of all the residents.  They are all given to the nearest 5 years.  If this is the case then it is a strong possibility that this William is ours.  And if that is the case what is the betting that Thomas and Mary are my great, great, great grandparents?
