I've been tracing Henry SKELLERN (b, c. 1838) on the census transcripts on findmypast. Unfortunatley the 1851 census has not been transcribed for Cheshire so I'm stuck.

Does Ancestry have the census? If yes could some kind soul do a look-up for me? Thanks

FreeBMD only has one birth in the date range - born in Congleton.
On the 1841 census there are two Henry's one born in 1838 the second in 1839.
On the 1861 census only one Henry appears born in 1837
No Henry on 1871
On the 1881 census Henry was born in 1839, and
On the 1891 census enry was born in 1840
(What a narrow date spread!)

Henry's wife on the three later census returns is Elizabeth. I'm trying to find who his parents were (a) Thomas and Mary. or (b) John and Jane

Thanks in advance
David

The original is not very clear but does appear to record the surname as SKELLERN. It is on HO107/2167 f198 p23.

Hello Sue and Geoffrs - thanks for responding to my post.
Is the reference in Geoffrs post the same as on the transcription that Sue has?
If not, who are the parents on Geoffrs post (I don't have acces to Ancestry - can only afford one subscription and I chose findmYpast)
Thanks
David

The National Archives requires that references are given to all their documents as a condition of waiving copyright - I therefore included the reference to the entry forund by Sue and just confirmed the name as it appears to be spelt.

John, married, aged 43 born (S?)ithington, Cheshire
Jane, married, aged 40 born Buglawton
First five children all born Congleton, Mary born Buglawton
