Brummie On Exmoor
master brummie
This is not so much a look-up request as a plea for suggestions/advice regarding the 1841 Census in Brum.
I have been researching one of several Brummie family lines, the HUTCHINSONs. (Note: I made a previous posting about them having found my 3xG Grandmother Elizabeth HUTCHINSON's death in a Glover's Trust property in Steelhouse Lane.)
The HUTCHINSONs, Thomas and Elizabeth, are on the 1851 Census living in No 1 Court, Brass Street, in the Hockley district. When Thomas dies in April 1852, it is again in No 1 Court, Brass Street. On their daughter's Marriage Certificate in September 1839, she gives her address as Brass Street, with her husband living in nearby Hatchett Street. So from this it is clear that Brass Street was built before the 1841 Census.
However, I have drawn a total blank looking for the HUTCHINSONs in 1841, and I have found that Brass Street does not appear in the 1841 Census. I had searched for it myself and then found the wonderful 'Your Archives Historical Street Project'. In that there is no Brass Street listed on the 1841 Brum Census.
Does anyone know why it is not there? I understand that Brass Street ran from Summer Lane to Newtown Row, and Summer Lane is there. So too is another street which appears in the same enumeration district in 1851.
Does anyone have any advice please? This is really important because I am running out of options to identify these two. Thomas has a Place of Birth in 1851 that I think is incorrect (Codington, Warwickshire which seems not to exist, though there are Coddingtons in about 4 other counties,) so I was really hoping to see whether 1841 listed him as Warwickshire-born or not.
Many thanks
