William Lane, my 2GF, was born in Bisley, Glos, in 1816, the son of Edward and Mary Lane. His parents and siblings appear in the 1841 census as living in Cheltenham but not William [353 57 14]. I have tried to find him on FMP but without success although he does reappear in 1851 where he is at Stratford Mill, Stroud. Searching for him on Ancestry brings up three likely candidates but, not having a current Ancestry sub, I cannot see the details. Could someone shed any light, please?

He married Martha Lawrence in January, 1845 in Stroud, Glos. That rules out the first William. My William's father was Edward and his mother Mary ruling out the second one. The stonemason? Could be but it's by no means certain. The age is wrong and there's no subsequent record of him being other than a miller.

Re the ages, bear in mind that on the 1841 enumerators were supposed to round the age down to the nearest 5 years for any one over 15 (they didn't always do this). Given that he is shown as 34 on the 1851, if he was consistent about his age, I would have thought he could have been shown as 20 on the 1841
There's this one in Bisley, Stroud - I can't make out the occupation but it looks to be the same as in 1851.
Stratford William Lane (transcribed as Lano on Ancestry) 20 ???man
Here he is in 1851 to compare

Hi Jackie,
Found the likely candidate in FMP thanks to your reference and will have words with FMP! He is living at Stratford, Stroud, which is where Stratford Mill is, his home in 1851. As to his occupation, it seems to say 'Cl' what ever that may be. Your earlier posting seemed to indicate you had also found one in Bisley, a village just outside Stroud, or were you referring to the same one?

Now there's a funny thing! Every time I've tried to find the likely William before FMP has consistently failed to find him. Now, when I just tried again, there he is! Didn't change the search parameters but got a different result. Very odd!!!

According to this "Cl" refers to clerk but the head of the household was a mealman (if I'm reading it correctly), which was William Lane's occupation in 1851

Many, many thanks to all of you who helped resolve my problems showing once again the value of Family Tree Forum. Particular thanks to Jackie for the link to the 1841 census enumerators' notes now safely archived in my useful info file.
