    Question 1851 Census request SHENTON in Leicester

    Firstly, apologies if this request is impossible! This is my first foray into Leicestershire

    I am looking for the family of Elizabeth SHENTON b 1839 possibly Leicester. Parents Thomas SHENTON & Elizabeth HOPKINS.
    Elizabeth had a brother Samuel carpenter birth date unknown.
    Also sister Louisa married Baptist minister William Thomas DEACON in Leicester

    Eliz SHENTON, Samuel SHENTON and Louisa DEACON nee SHENTON all emigrated to Ipswich, Queensland, Australia

    ANY help apreciated!

    Smile 1841 Census leicester

    In Thurmaston Road Leicester in 1841 I found
    Thomas Shenton 45 Slater (note all adult ages are rounded to 5 years)
    Elizabeth 40
    Louisa 20
    Harriot 15
    Samuel 13
    William 6
    Elizabeth 3
    Only Samuel William and Elizabeth are marked as being born in the county of Leicestershire.
    I cannot find them in Leicestershire in 1851 or 1861.
    Hope that this helps.
