good morning looking at ancestry for the 1841 census I found the family I wanted but when you look at the image it is unreadable and faded so how do they know the names of the people on there.
I said it was silly thanks
Margaret

Hi Robert what were they reading then ro get the names

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

If you post the details, I'll have a look on Findmypast to see if it's any clearer.

Sue

Hi Sue it is for the John Shelley family
with wife Catherine and quite a few more Shelley's in Berkshire Sunninghill

thank you Margaret

This is the transcription on Fidmypast, and having looked at image, seems to be correct.

John is a well digger.
