| Census 1851 | Elizabeth Snelson Id #5,810 (Principal) was at home on Census night 31 March 1851 at Belgrave Place, Chester; The head of the household, presumably Margaret's husband John Snelson (#4) seems to have been absent on this night. I am not sure whether he was a moulder and ironfounder or a joiner. Perhaps he was both. He seems to have "disappeared", but Margaret is never described as a "widow". I believe him to be the same John Snelson who turns up in Reading in 1851, 1861, 1971. Principal Role Witness Role: Witness Original Documents, Source and Citations here3 |
