'61 census please

[Glen in Tinsel Knickers]

The refs will do fine until I can get back onto Ancestry.


I have found the following on familysearch

Job Coulson
event: Census
event date: 1861
gender: Male
age: 20
relationship to head of household: Apprentice
birthplace: Merstone, Lincolnshire
record type: Household
registration district: Newark
sub-district: 5 Claypole
ecclesiastical parish:
civil parish: Caythorpe
county: Nottinghamshire


The chap is actually Job Goulson, b1840, Marston, Lincs, just curious to find this one, orphaned by the loss of both parents by 1851 and went on to marry in 1862 in the Newark district.

Thanks

image says he was a blacksmiths apprentice

Thanks Janet, the occupation would match to his later work, I guess he was looked after by family as there were a few around and about the area, it's only tonight I realised he was left without his parents at a young age.

I have the image now, not sure who the family he is with are but it was too much to hope he would be with the Wilson family.

think the family he is with are his boss and family. The head of the house is a master blacksmith......

Yep, many of the Goulson family were blacksmiths and there are links to the Newark area so perhaps someone they knew took him as an apprentice. Interestingly he lived and worked just a few doors from where one of my half sibs moved to, had a son who ran tobacconist shops in Lincoln, brothers who had grocery shops and his grandson went on to be awarded the DSO and OBE but I still tend to overlook him in my tree.
