Thomas PRICE, b1845 Worthen, Shropshire

[ChrisR]

I'm tracing back my family tree and this is on my maternal grandfathers side.

I have traced back to a Thomas PRICE who was a farmer with 80 Acres and 1 Labourer, married to Sarah ? from Middleton, Montgomeryshire, Wales.

I can't find any reference to Thomas PRICE before the 1871 census on ancestry.co.uk (well there are lots of people with that name, but none born in Worthen) - does anyone have any pointers on what to try next?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Thanks for the reply Peter - the 1881 Census is the one I have saved so the details match.

Not sure about the other information you have found - the year of birth seems to be 4 years out for Thomas PRICE.

Did you do a search for births matching the name?

Are you still looking at this or has it been moved.
As a check on ages the 1891 census shows Thomas as being 46 and Sarah 44

Here's an interesting one from the 1871 census, age is a bit young but......
Thomas Price, 22, b. Worthen, boarder, living with a family of Lewis
Class: RG10; Piece: 5622; Folio: 41; Page: 16
Is Petrd post above the right family as I've found another similar but the age of Thomas is slightly different.
Also could the town of Worthen have been Worthin in 1851
