John
Clarkson
John and Rebecca are
in the
1841 to 1871 census records. They died before the 1881 census
(Tina).
What is missing is any information between 1806 annd 1841
1841 Census
Parish St Margaret with Bishops Fee, Leicestershire, Charles St
John Clarkson Labourer 40 (b abt 1800)
Rebecca Clarkson 30 (b abt 1810)
Betsy Clarkson 6 (b abt 1834)
Catharine Clarkson 4 (b abt 1836)
David Clarkson 2 (b abt 1838)
Only Betsey given as born in the county, which looks like an
error, see
later years
1851 Census
Parish St Margaret, Leicestershire, 8 South Church
Gate
John Clarkson Labourer grocer, 51 (b abt 1799 Kingsbury,
Warwickshire)
Rebecca Clarkson sticher? 46 (b abt 1804 Hedlington Linconshire)
Betsy Clarkson has left home, not found in census anywhere
Catharine Clarkson 14 Fancy Wool (b abt 1836 St Mary's
Leicester)
David Clarkson 12 School (b abt 1838 St Margaret's Leicester)
1861 Census
Parish St Margaret, Leicestershire, 72 Church Gate
John Clarkson Labourer stocker, 56 (b abt 1804 Kingsbury,
Warwickshire)
Rebecca Clarkson 55 (b abt 1805 Edlington Linconshire)
Betsy Clarkson 26 Drape? and Mantle Maker (b abt 1834 Leicester)
Catharine Clarkson has left home now
David Clarkson 21 Painter and Paper Hanger (b abt 1839 Leicester)
Sarah Balding 70 visitor widow independant aged 70, (born
Edlington
Linconshire)
This seems to validate Edlington not Hedligton
(a) Edlington in in Linconshire
(b) Hedlington is in Oxfordshire and Kent to the best
of
my knowledge
(c) In the 1851 census Sarah Balding also gives place
of
birth as Edlington. Sarah may be a relation, she was living in
Bollingbroke (Old? or New?) about ten miles from Edlington
1871 Census
Parish St Margaret, Leicestershire, 24 Morledge St
John Clarkson retired stoker, 69 (b abt 1801 Kingsbury,
Warwickshire)
Rebecca Clarkson 66 (b abt 1804 Edlington Linconshire)
Comments
John's occupation does seem to be Stocker (1861) and retired
stoker (1871), that is not a mistype
The 1851 Hedlingtton looks like an error - see 1861, 1871
John and Rebecca's age swings around - a salutory reminder on the
accuracy of ages given in the census
LDS Has Rebecca Banister Christened at Edlington 13 Jul 1806, so
it all
fits
