Henry WRIXON (1851 Census)

[Alex Nicole]

Hello All,

Would someone be kind enough to try and find me a Henry WRIXON in the 1851 Census. He should be about 5 years old (DOB c1846) and born in (I Believe) West Milton.

Regards

Hello Sue,

Thank you for the look up. It's interesting that his father has Milton down as his place of birth which is the same as Henry WRIXON in the 1871 Census. I think Milton and West Milton are the same place and as it's just slightly inland from Burton Bradstock.

I have picked up the Henry WRIXON you mentioned in the Birth Registration and he seems to be the only one that fits the bill. I've seen WRIXON & WRIXTON interchanged and it seems to depend on who is writing the name down.
