SORRY I WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT YOU BUT THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT PERMIT ME WITHOUT PAYING FOR AN UPGRADE!!!!

By the 1851 census, at age 29, William is listed as occupation Ag Labourer. The Census shows he is living at Barrington No.71 with his wife Mary (27), and their daughters Mary Ann (4) and Anna (2). Williams parents and siblings are living next door at Barrington No.72.
