Census for the Porter Family

1851 Porter
1861 Porter
1871 Porter
1881 Porter
1891 Porter
1901 Porter

 

1841 Census-Stafford-West Stafford-Dorset
Name Age Occupation Born in County
Edward Porter 50 Agricultural Labourer Yes
Elizabeth 45   Yes
William 18 Agricultural Labourer No
Robert 13 Agricultural Labourer Yes

There seems to be a mistake on this census as Elizabeth, on subsequent censuses, was not born in Dorset. The 'Y' and 'N' may have been entered into the wrong row. However, it is known that the son John, was born in Ireland, perhaps William was born there as well.

1841 Census-Stafford-West Stafford-Dorset
Name Age Occupation Born in County
Jane Holland 60   Yes
Eliza Porter 9   Yes

The above entry led me to conclude that this was Edward's daughter Eliza, perhaps with an aunt. From later information on censuses, this proved to be correct.

1841 Census-Mill Street, Fordington, Dorset
Name Age Occupation Born in County
John Porter 20 Spinner Yes
Rebecca 20   Yes
Edward 5 months   Yes
