FAMILY HISTORY: BUCKNER

THE FAMILY OF JOHN & ELIZA BUCKNER

CENSUS INFORMATION:

 

1841 CENSUS OF TOWER HAMLETS, LONDON, ENGLAND:
NAME: SEX: AGE: OCCUPATION: BORN IN THE COUNTY?
John Buckner M 35 Soap Boiler N
Eliza Buckner F 25 - N
John Buckner M 10 - Y
Eliza Buckner F 8 - Y
Susan Buckner F 4 - Y
NOTES:
1: Living at Lower Chapman Street, St George in the East. (H.O.107-697, Book 7, folio 30, pages 1 & 2)
2: In 1841 the ages of anyone 5 and over was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5. John Buckner would have actually been about 37 and his wife would have been about 27.
3: Eliza is listed as not born in the county but was apparently born in Wapping. Wapping and Tower Hamlets are (or were) both in the county of Middlesex so this is probably an error.
