1841/1851 & possibly 1861 Census look up STOCK/ VALENTINE

[lynne4]

Is there anyone who could possibly help me and look up any Stock or Valentine families living in Finchingfield on the 1841 & 1851 & possibly 1861 Census. My 3 x Great Grandparents were Robert Stock & Mary Ann Valentine. They were both from Finchingfield. On their marriage certificate in 1852 Robert's age was given as 36 & Mary Ann's as 26. The certificate is not of very good quality and i cannot make out their Fathers names,although i think that one of the witnesses was a Issac Matthews but again i am not sure so i am looking for any information i can find on the Stock & Valentine families in general.

Many thanks
Lynne Henderson

Thank you so much for that. It doesn't appear that my Robert is listed amongst these families, but having taken another look at his marriage certificate i believe that his fathers name was either Frederick or Zachariah who was a labourer . As there is a Zachariah listed i will be looking for more information on this family.

There are a fair number of Stock familes in the village in 1841. Those were just the ones with a Robert.
(I didn't see a Frederick Stock)

Unfortunately there were no Valentines:(

Good luck, Hope

Many thanks for all your help. Do you or anyone else know whether Zachariah or any of his family still appear on the 1851 census.

Thank you so much for all your help. I definatly think that my Robert Stock's Father is Zachariah but mybe not this one, he could possibly be an Uncle or Cousin I found a lot of records yesterday on Family search and i am sure there is a connection but think maybe there is another Zachariah in Finchingfield as it seems to be a family name from what i have found out, which i wouldn't have done without your help. I did look on the 1861 census but couldn't find my Robert & Mary Ann and i also looked for Zachariah or his family but couldn't find them either. I think the last Valentine family you found on the 1841 census is mine. Mary Ann's age is correct and looking at her marriage certificate i had a feeling that her Fathers name was James but because of the quality i wasn't sure and he was also a ag. lab.

It's looking very likely that the Robert living with Zachariah in 1841 & 51 is your man.
I realise his age on the certificate doesn't agree, but all the census entries point to him. There was just the one Zachariah Stock in the village .

Again thankyou for the information. I looked on the 1861 census on the 1837 website for Zachariah & Robert & Mary Ann but couldn't find them . Having looked at the Valetines on the 1861 census i realise from some of the entries that there are a lot of errors in the transcriptions and i have reported them. The Robert & Mary Ann on the 1861 are the correct family as the eldest daughter Emily is my Great Great Grandmother. I have been searching for so long for these 2 families and because i am partially disabled i have to rely heavly on the internet and was only introduced to the Forum last week and i think it is fantastic, again thank you so much.
