there are more than 40 Woolfries (other 1st names) in the census as well.

there are 184 IGI records for Dorset.

I hope you can find something in amongst all this.

Hi Maz,
This is hopefully who you are looking for:-

HO107/289/13 Folio 27 Page19
Morden, Dorset
Hannah Woolfries 44
Thomas 43 Ag Lab
John 22
Francis 20
William 18
Ellen 12
Andrew 8
Edwin 4
Emma 3

All have stated 'Yes' to born in county and no occupation is given other than for Thomas. They are listed as they appear on census ie Hannah first.
Cheers Jeremy

Hi Maz,
The 1851 census gives this information and may be more likely to be your John?

HO107/1856 Folio 542 Page 6
6 Hurst, Moreton, Dorset
John Woolfryes Jnr Head 35 General Dealer Shopkeep Born Portesham Dorset
Elizabeth Wife 35 Born Waddock

7 Hurst
John Woolfryes Snr Head 53 Ag Lab Born Moreton
Millicent Wife 57 Born Fleet
Rose Anna Dau 17 Scholar Born Moreton
Ann James Visitor 4 Born London
Robert Rawles Lodger 50 Ag Lab Born Moreton

I would hazzard a guess the Thomas from 1841 census and John Woolfryes Snr are brothers?
Cheers Jeremy
