Hi Jill, Thankyou for your information, you mentioned that you could send me the index list for the 1851 census, that would be great, all information is helpful. Regarding Samuel Samuel ! he probably is a brother of Thomas Rainsdon Samuel, does anyone have any resources which can indicate how many children Edward Samuel and Mary Rainsdon from Old Warden had ? ( Their marriage is dated 21/7/1803 ) Thanks again, Kind regards, Elizabeth. -----Original Message----- From: Jill Blain [mailto:jill.blain1@btopenworld.com] Sent: 10 June 2006 23:58 To: BEDFORD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BDF] The Samuel family Hi Elizabeth, I looked on the 1851 census index for Blunham to see if your Thomas' parents were still alive, but the eldest Samuel was Thomas himself at 41, but it says he was born in Old Warden. His wife was Mary Ann, aged 35 and there are possibly 9 children between 1month and 18 yrs. I'm saying possibly, because there is no knowing that they are all his family since it is only an index, not the actual census page. If you would like the details, just ask. There is also a Samuel Samuel (no kidding!) aged 33 in Sandy(Girtford) also born in Old Warden. Could he be a brother of Thomas?
