MySource:Kerbent/Census 1841 St Blazey - Smith Extract

The Census taken in 1841 in England and Wales and was recorded on the 7th June 1841.

Estimation of the birthdate of the Bassett family based on the age given at the time of the census is as follows if they are born before June of add one year if born after June:-

(Note that in the 1841 census ages of people over 15 were rounded down to the nearest 5 years.)

Walter Smith 30 most likely born 1838 - 1811 Elizabeth Smith 30 most likely born 1838 - 1811 Robert Smith 10 most likely born 1831 William Smith 3 most likely born 1838 Elizabeth Smith 2 most likely born 1839

It is likely that the oldest child is the son of Mary Ann Olive Walters first wife who died in 1832 at the age of 25 of brain fever about a year after Robert was born.

Since Mary is dead the next two children are probably those of Elizabeth Smith who looks like she the partner of Walter Smith
