Look up on 1851 census for West Bromwich

[Julie G]

Hi,
Can anyone help me with a small brickwall that i have come up against. My Great x 2 Grandfather George Lewis was, according to the 1891 and 1901 censuses, born in West Bromwich in 1849/1850. He then moved to Barrow in Furness, Lancs where i have found him on the 1891/1901 censuses. Would some kind person do me a look up on either the 1851 or 1861 census to find out who his parents and siblings were so that i can try and trace back a further generation.
Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Julie G

Hi -

Are you able to access the census pages yourself? There are over 60 entries listed for the surname Lewis in West Brom in the 1851 census. It would require someone having to check all Lewis entries for your family. Not sure if you have a Mormon Family History library near you, as you can request access to the film for a small fee.

If you need the references, please advise.

Good luck.
