I was wondering if anyone could do an 1841 census look up please. I am looking for William Greenlaw who was born around 1795 in St Bees, Cumberland. He married Jane Quiggin on 14/12/1814.

William and Jane had at least 4 children. The eldest was William Quiggan Greenlaw who was born around 1815, The second was Elizabeth Greenlaw who was christened 24/1/1817 in Whitehaven, The third was John Greenlaw who was christened 12/12/1818 in Whitehaven and the Fourth was James Greenlaw who was christened 4/9/1820 in Whitehaven.

Can anyone find William Greenlaw?

That is William Quiggan Greenlaw. Williams wife Agnes was born in 1805 and this was her second marriage. William and Agnes' daughter Ellanor (1845) is my 3x great grandmother.
