1841 census lookup Durham

[jdharvey]

Could some kind person help me complete my family census. I need to find Edward Ross aged 53, married to Elizabeth, with a family of Edward (5), Elizabeth (8), Alexander (13),Margaret (14) & possibly more. Edward was a shipwright & they lived in Sunderland I think. Many thanks Dorothy in Oz

Hi Dorothy

I'm having trouble locating the Ross family on the 1841. Had a look on the 1851 found Edward Ross age 63 born Benton Northumberland, occ shipwright, Elizabeth age 42 wife born Durham, Edward son age 15 born Sunderland. No other children listed with them.
Civil parish Bishopwearmouth Eccl. parish Deptford St. Andrew, Durham

Many thanks Julie for your help. I do have the 1851 census, trying to go further back & just hitting brick walls.
Thank you Carrie for your reply. Edward was born in Benton NBL, Elizabeth born in South Shield although I think there may have been 2 wives called Eliz. as first marriage in 1816. 1851 census is hard to decipher Eliz. age as either 42 or 62 but son was only 15. Children born Bishopwearmouth. I am really trying to find Edward's parents' names, have searched Benton parish records with no luck. As he was a shipwright is there any way to find apprenticeship records which could be for NBL or Dur. Thank you again, Regards Dorothy

My Late Grandmother Edith Kinnear (nee Ross ) Her father was Edward Ross
wife Elizabeth ( nee ? ) off spring George W, Margaret Snowdon also Elizabeth Hindmarsh. George was if I have the correct Edward Ross a soldier in the Durham Light Infantry. Badly wounded in WW1. Used a pony & trap to get about. If you agree. Would be delighted to hear from you.

Edward Ross ,born@1853 worked Sunderland as shipwright, married Elizabeth (nee Bainbridge?).
