Longs of Gloucester

I have been looking at my Longs again, I have John Long b c1806, Berkerley Gloucestershire I have found

1861
John Long 55 down as a Lodger

1851
John Long 45 Ag Lab born Hawesbury Glouc
Eliza Long 40
Isabella Long 77 (mother)

1841
John Long 30
Sarah Long 25
Isabella Long 65

Could these all be the same John ????????

Hard to say Chrissie. However, the 1861 chap says he was born in Berkeley and in 1851 there is a John Long who also says he was born there but in 1802.

Thanks Merry, it looks like he could of been married twice, might look into that tomorrow

1841 and 1851 both feature Isabella. Perhaps the Sarah from 1841 was his sister, not his wife?

This baptism doesn't give mother's name:

The batch number also gives christening same date, place and father for a
William Long and for
Elizabeth Long 14 Nov 1802
Daniel Long 23 Oct 1804

though these may not be your chap and his siblings, they are probably related along the line somewhere.

Berkeley and Hawkesbury aren't that far apart but I would want some evidence there wasn't another John Long of Hawkesbury just to confirm I had the right chap.
