Staveley & District History Society 1851 Census for Over Staveley These transcriptions have been taken from the microfiche in the Local Studies section of Kendal Library between 2003 and 2007. In order to fit neatly in portrait format some details have been omitted or shortened. These are: • The column relating to marital status has been omitted; status can usually be inferred from relationships; widows and widowers however have been acknowledged by adding (W) in the relationship column. • Ages are all in one column. The sex can usually be determined from the name and/or the relationship. In one or two cases, where this is not clear, (M) or (F) has been added after the name. • The column relating to infirmities has been omitted; there are few entries in this column and where they occur the details have been added to the occupation column. • In later census lists, such things as employment status and number of rooms in a house have been omitted. • Folio and piece numbers are not included; the ‘word’ files give the entry number and this is easier to find on both fiche and .pdf formats. Besides the omissions there are some additions, particularly to the 1841 census; in this the entries are not always numbered, but have been given numbers where necessary. There is no relationship column in the originals; entries have been made on the basis of those shown in subsequent censuses. Such entries are added in brackets. Where a relationship does not appear to make sense, a suggested alteration is sometimes given in brackets. This particularly applies to ‘step’ relationships where what we would today call a step-son is sometimes shown simply as ‘son’ or ‘wife’s son’ The original spelling is used in most cases, though this cannot be guaranteed; the combination of dictation and ‘spellcheck’ sometimes results in the modern spelling being substituted. © Staveley & District History Society 2006 No. Property Name Age Relationship Occupation Place of birth Name 1 Staveley John Thompson 39 Head Sawyer Westmorland – Kendal Elizabeth 32 Wife Westmorland – Kendal Mary 8 Daughter Scholar Westmorland – Kendal Betty 6 Daughter Scholar Westmorland – Kendal John 3 Son Scholar Westmorland – Kendal Anna Maria 10mo Daughter Westmorland – Kendal Thomas Fenton 26 Lodger Bobbin Turner Westmorland - Kendal 2 Staveley Thomas Hodgson 50 Head Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Kendal Mary 45 Wife Lancashire – Coniston Joseph 25 Son Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Staveley Thomas 21 Son Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Staveley William 16 Son Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Staveley Robert 8 Son Scholar Westm’d – Strickland Kettel Albert 6 Son Scholar Westm’d – Undermillbeck Mary 18 Daughter House Servant Westmorland – Staveley Margaret 14 Daughter Westmorland – Kendal Elizabeth 10 Daughter Scholar Westm’d – Strickland Kettel Sarah 3 Daughter Scholar Westm’d – Undermillbeck 3 Staveley Esther Thompson 86 Head (W) Annuitant Westmorland – Selside Samuel 21 G-Son Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Staveley Esther 26 G-Daughter Westmorland – Staveley James Cowburn 25 Lodger Book Keeper Lancashire – Pendleton 4 Staveley John Roan 22 Head Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Kendal Agnes 23 Wife Westmorland – Kendal 5 Staveley John Thompson 42 Head Wool Spinner Lancashire – Ulverston Mary 39 Wife Westmorland – Kendal John 10 Son Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Kendal Mary 8 Daughter Yorkshire – Sedbergh William 5 Son Yorkshire – Sedbergh Margaret 3 Daughter Westmorland – Kendal Phyealey 1 Daughter Westmorland – Staveley Jonathan Chorley 59 Lodger Cordwainer Westmorland – Kendal 6 Staveley Richard Haresnape 29 Head Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Hugill Mary 33 Wife Cumberland – Whitehaven Edward 10 Son Scholar Westmorland – Kendal Hannah 8 Daughter Scholar Westmorland – Kendal Robert 5 Son Scholar Westmorland – Crosthwaite Mary Ann 2 Daughter Westmorland – Crosthwaite 7 Staveley William Fisher 44 Head Wool Spinner Westmorland – Kendal Margaret 44 Wife Westmorland – Kendal Elizabeth 16 Daughter Wool Piecer Westmorland – Staveley Kessiah 13 Daughter Wool Piecer Westmorland – Staveley William 10 Son Scholar Westmorland – Staveley James 8 Son Scholar Westmorland – Staveley John 5 Son Scholar Westmorland – Staveley George Atkinson 2 Lodger Westmorland – Crook 8 Staveley Joseph Midgley 25 Head Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Kendal Elizabeth 19 Wife Westmorland – Crook Jane 4mo Daughter Westmorland – Staveley 9 Staveley Anthony Blaymire 22 Head Tailor Westmorland – Staveley Elizabeth 23 Wife Westmorland – Ambleside William 2mo Son Westmorland – Staveley 10 Staveley James Atkinson 28 Head Bobbin Turner Westmorland – Bowness Mary 24 Wife Cumberland – Penrith 11 Staveley John Jackson 45 Head Wool Spinner Westmorland – Kendal Margaret 48 Wife Cumberland – Whitehaven Mary Elizabeth 11 Daughter Westmorland – Staveley James 29 Brother Cripple (for.
