Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Happy New Year, and all you wish yourselves.

Could SKP please have a go at deciphering a census form for me please...
The details are 1851,Shropshire,Church Pulverbatch,Thomas Fream ! age ?
Born Liverpool.
ref no H.01071990.
I cannot make out what he is doing there ,something about Army, and his age,and name of the place.
I have been looking for this relative for years and hope I have finally found him,
Thomas Fearnes,or Fearanse,or any other spelling,
born 1803,Liverpool,
Father, George Fearance,born 1779,Farnworth,Nr,Liverpool, fingers crossed
Many Thanks

For others opinions.

My take on this is
Thomas Freme Lodger Unmarried 17 Reading for the Army [H ?? Service born Liverpool

Surname transcribed as Frems on Ancestry
HO107; Piece: 1990; Folio: 227; Page: 27

Thomas FREME aged 17 Reading for the Army Service bn Liverpool or bn Service Liverpool

he is lodging at a a farm Lower House in Wrentnall Shropshire.

Lower down the same page at Wrentnall House is James FREMEb48 bn Worcestershire with his wife & daughter both born Liverpool and sister in law Mary BRADE unmarried bn Liverpool

I don't think it's your man.

Thanks everyone,after reading the reply,s, I agree it looks like 17 years old, rather than 47,so I am still searching.

Many thanks for your time and knowledge.

Hi folks, was just about to post!!
I think the word is "horses"...the Shrops Light Brigade were stationed in the area.
Good luck T

It,s funny ,but as soon as someone says what they think it is ,you can see that,s what it is. and why else would Thomas be at a Farm for the Army.
Many thanks and Happy New Year.

Don't want to throw a spanner in the works or anything but are you sure it says"Reading" and not "Riding" for the army? I'm sure I've either seen or heard somewhere about "Riding for the army" where they were employed to "break" horses for service. Sorry if I'm causing more problems. best wishes Jackie

It could well say riding it also looks like it says "husb service" as in husbandry of animals.

The more opinions the merrier, looking again it certainly could be.
