"completed" need help reading a census page

Post by expat66 »

Need help again :roll:

Could anyone please have a look at the census for 1851... Bell Street ....Wolverhampton.

William COOK ..head (66)..locksmith.. born Wolverhampton
Elizabeth COOK..wife (60).. born Chilmark, Staffs......(I think it could be Chelmarsh, Shropshire?)[/i]
Louisa COOK unmarried (18) daughter... born Wolverhampton
Ann DALLVEN..sister-in-law..unmarried (63)... born Chilmark (?Chelmarsh?)[i]( is that her surname?..I think it might be Dallow?)
Joseph SADLER (40) visitor..unmarried...japaner..Birmingham
Philip THOMAS(21) visitor..unmarried..carpenter..Kidderminster

I wasn't sure I agreed with how Ancestry had transcribed both Ann's surname and her place of birth... I think it is DALLOW and Chelmarsh

Was going to attach piece of the text but my computer isn't letting me... think it needs a cup of tea or something?

Oh.. and what is a japaner?

many Thanks
Expat :P

A Jappaner is a French Polisher, sorry not got the 1851 on disc, I have found some of the Census discs are better transcribed than Ancestry or Find My Past, but sure you are right on Chelmarsh Ex Pat, near Bridgnorth, a lot of our Ancestors came up the Canal Waterways from there, and it's not that far from Wolverhampton.

Had a look on GENUKI and Chelmarsh is the nearest town I can see in Shropshire. Ann's name does look like Dallow to me.

I always look at the original census on Ancestry, sometimes their indexing leaves a lot to be desired. I did hear once that most of their census indexing was done in India - so it's not surprising that there are a lot of mistakes. I make at least two offers of alternative information a day.

There is a Christening on Family Search forAnn Dallow on 04 JAN 1787, Chelmarsh, Shropshire, Daur of Richard and Ann

Here are all children of Richard and Ann Dallow:

MARTHA DALLOW - 15 DEC 1778 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
JOHN DALLOW - 24 JUN 1780 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
THOMAS DALLOW - 23 MAY 1782 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
RICHARD DALLOW - 12 JUN 1784 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
ANN DALLOW - 04 JAN 1787 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
JOSEPH DALLOW - 10 FEB 1789 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
MARY DALLOW - 10 FEB 1789 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
ELIZABETH DALLOW - 28 DEC 1790 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England
WILLIAM DALLOW - 30 JAN 1795 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England

Marriage for Richard Dallow to Ann Wilkes : 25 FEB 1778 Chelmarsh, Shropshire, England

A Japaner is someone who carries out Japanese style black hard varnishing.
