1841 England Census entry for family of Thomas Speedy. Transcription presented below as well as scans of orignal document. At the time of the 1841 census Thomas was working as an agricultural worker (probably a hind) on Gundenridge Farm, near Duddo, Norhamshire, County Durham*. He had probably been working there at least 7 mo, based on the age of his youngest daughter Margaret who was born in County Durham. Four years earlier the family had been living in Scotland based on the place of birth of his daughter Isabella. *Norhamshire, an enclave of County Durham, was transferred to Northumberland in 1844 Medium Sized Pop-up Image 1200 X 929 jpeg; 372 k; 72 dpi Full Sized Pop-up Image 3001 X 2324 jpeg; 2000 k; 150 dpi
