Thread: 1861 census look up

I have just been given a suggestion this a.m. about my 4 year old brickwall. Can anyone find a James and Sarah STONE in the 1861 census? They could be in the Wednesbury, Staffs area. I am not sure of their ages though. The James i am after was a Carpenter. Also are there any marriages in this area fitting these two names? I would be most grateful of any help. Thanks in advance. Roberto.

There is this one. Jas. Stone is a blacksmith.

Thanks Brummieboy, i will have to think this one over for awhile, Roberto

Hi - are you still looking for info on the Stones? My husband is a direct descendant, and I'm willing to share what I know if you are still interested.

I found you through a Google search for Blacksmiths, West Quantoxhead!

Hello Gillian,

Sounds promising at present. I am in Paris at the moment on the hotel's computer and when i get back home next week i will contact you again if thats o.k with you. I need to look at my records to be sure. Cheers Roberto.

Roberto, feel free to contact me whenever you wish. Now I have more time, I can explain that my husband is related to the James Stone who moved from West Quantoxhead to Wednesbury, and I have traced the family tree both backwards, to the 18th Century and forwards to the present day.

I realise this may not be the James you are looking for - ''mine'' was a blacksmith, then a foundry worker, and is the one brummieboy found in the census. However, I may be able to give you some pointers, at least.

Best wishes, Gillian
