In 1841 John Warren was a what???

[Trish]

I hope someone can help me out with this...

On the 1841 census, John Warren's occupation is hard to decipher. I also can't quite make out his address: Port? View? House?

Can anyone help?

Reference:
Class HO107; Piece 263; Book 12; Folio 10; Page 14
Second column, first name.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I think it's Ind for Independent. John Jun is a clergyman. Looks like Port Vue House but could be Portview.

The address is definitely Port View House and the occupation looks like IND (independent) to me. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page Albert Livinson has the same occupation.

[Trish]

Thank you Sue and Davran. That does the trick. Looks like the address is definitely Port View House and his occupation was "Ind". I was so stuck on that first letter being a "T"

Too bad he's independent in 1841 and not listed as something which would tell me what his occupation may have been at an earlier stage of life. I guess I'm lucky just to have found him!

Thanks again.

Any clues on his children's baptisms?

Have you tried looking for his son, either in Crockfords or in the list of Oxford/Cambridge alumni? Most vicars went to university and the father is often mentioned.

Which parish was John jnr a clergyman for? There is a John WARREN b. abt.1814 at Oxford University, son of John, who became Rector of Bawdrip, Somerset. His father & son were also Rectors there.

Well, I guess that's an idea, Jan! Duh. I had not thought of doing that since they all seem to have been born pre-1837, going by iffy IGI records.

Any advice on how to go about getting Devonshire baptism records [from afar] would be very much appreciated!

Wirral, I really don't know. I only just found this 1841 census record which is a pretty dead on match for my John Warren and Frances Stribling. I have an IGI record which shows their son John's christening as 1814 at Ottery Saint Mary, Devon [Batch # POO2761]. I had not connected them with the clergy until now. So I'm a bit baffled!

The Devon Family History Society publishes booklets of Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths. Take a look at their web site. Hope there might be something there to cover what you are after
