Help tracing Ancestors pre census
Tweet
Hi all, hope you are all well.
Just wondered if anyone can offer me advice on how to find my family pre 1841 census. I'm wanting to know who my great great great great grandads parents were and if he had siblings. His name is WILLIAM BRAZIER bn abt 1786 in Writtle, Essex . Married a CATHERINE WRIGHT 5th may 1825. I have searched on Familysearch.org, but nothing for the dates i want.
Any little tips would be nice.
Thanx All.
Becky

Hi Chris
The marriage information is from IGI. Williams birth date is a hard 1 really, as they differ on all the census', Sorry i got the bith date wrong, should 1786.
Found them on 1841 will try to find marriage or bans
William Brazier Age: 54 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1787 Gender: Male Where born: Essex, England
Civil parish: Margaretting Hundred: Chelmsford County/Island: Essex Country: England
Registration district: Chelmsford Sub-registration district: Ingatestone

No Luck yet - there are public trees saying his father Nathaniel - to which i see on 1841 census still alive at 80 living Writtle Essex [ farmer ] but dies 1842 .
However always best to find bp. ect.
