A cousin who I met on GR was kind enough to give me the following information and I thought it might help someone else: I had a relative who appears on the 1841 census and it says born out of county, the inconsiderate died before the 1851 census so I didn’t get to find out where he was born!! However he was a shoemaker, and apparently the Keeper of the Boot holds records of shoemakers and where they were born etc: I am in the process of writing a letter to the address below: The Keeper of the Boot and Shoe collection Central Museum Guildhall Northampton NN1 1DP. A long shot maybe, but worth a try if you have a shoemaker who has had the cheek to die between the 1841 and 1851 census!!!
