I agree 10 would be quite unusual to be recorded as a worker, though my great-grandfather was down as a carriage lamp maker in 1871 aged 12.

Hi Annabella
Just a thought, have you tried looking for a birth of Martin Levi as both names are interchangeable as surname and christian name and mistakes do happen.

William martin ( ann`s first husband) must of died before 1851 so why would levi change his name to martin also in 1871 levi preston is at school and on levi martin`s marriage cert there`s an x ( his mark is written by it) so he couldnt read or write ( probably because he went to work so young.

The poor in madeley comes under the union of newcastle under lyme can anyone find the workhouse census for 1861 im having no luck!!!!!

Hi Annabella. The Newcastle Under Lyme Worhouse records can be found as follows -

County - Staffordshire
Civil Parish - Newcastle Under Lyme
Enumeration District - 11
Images 48 - 53.

No Levi Martin on them i'm afraid.
