A look at the 1841 Blakeney Census
These are people connected with the Dew & Jary families and enumerated in Blakeney during the 1841 census.
The census was to be a list of all persons who spent the night of 6 June 1841 in the house, not necessarily of all persons who lived in that house. If a man was at sea overnight, he was probably not listed in his household with the rest of his family.
Page numbers are as printed on the images. In the interest of readability, long comments are noted below the main table.
This will be an ongoing project, and I'll update it as our research catches up.

| 3 | Catherine Peeps | 30 | Daughter of Lane & Ann Jary. We have not found a marriage record for Catherine to Mr Peeps, but Catherine Jary and Matthew Peeps were witnesses to the marriage of James Fulcher and Elizabeth Jary in 1828. [2] (That would probably have been Catherine's sister, Elizabeth, baptised 1809 in Blakeney.)[3] In 1843, Catherine Peeps and Horatio Newbegin were married. The register entry lists their fathers as Thomas Newbegin and Lane Jary. Witnesses were Nevison Sturges Newbegin and Mary Ann Spooner.[2] |
| 4 | Susan Starling | 30 | I believe this was Susannah Jary, daughter of John Jary & Ann Whitaker,[4] and wife of Henry Starling.[5] We have yet to find the marriage record. There is a baptism in Morston in Oct 1824 for "Mary Anne Eliza natural dau Susanna Jarey."[9] In the Blakeney PR, Mary Ann & Thomas were both christened 19 Jul 1829, the son & daughter of Henry & Susannah Starling. No dates of birth were recorded.[5] |
| Ann Starling | 9 mo. | Ann Elizabeth Starling, who was a witness at the wedding of Thomas Dew & Jemima Jary in 1858.[6] | |
| 6 | Naomi Bond | 45 | Naomi was the sister of Jane Cozens Dew,[7] wife of Edmund Dew[8] (enumerated p. 28) |
| 12 | Harriet Carroway | 17 | Harriet married Henry Dew, son of Edmund & Jane Cozens Dew, in 1844. (Information provided by one of Harriet's descendants. We do not yet have the Blakeney PR microfilm for this period or a copy of the marriage certificate, but Free BMD indexes show entries for both Henry Dew and Harriet Maria Carroway in 1844 July/August/Sep Quarter. Location on both is Walsingham, page 13, Vol 509.) |
| 15 | Ann Daniels | 20 | Formerly Ann Jary,[2] daughter of Lane & Ann Jary[9] (enumerated p 3) |
| 21 | Nevison Newbegin | 17 | There is an end of dwelling mark (//) on the line with Alford Degauan's name, but no digit in "Inhabited" column next to Nevison's name to indicate a new dwelling, so it's a bit unclear whether Nevison was in the Degauan household or on his own. Nevison's name is on the last line on page 21. Page 22 begins with Thos Newbegin's household. Nevison witnessed Horatio Newbegin's marriage to Catherine Peeps (see above note for Catherine Peeps.) |
| 22 | Thos Newbegin | 56 | The Degauan(?) & Newbigin households were adjacent to each other. Note the similarities in names. Were Nevison & Maria the daughter & son of Thos & Ann Newbegin? |
| Ann Newbegin | 52 | Formerly Stirges[10] | |
| Horatia Newbegin | 30 | Married Catherine Jary Peeps, daughter of Lane & Ann Jary (enum. p. 3) in 1843. (See above notes for Catherine Peeps.) Name spelled "Horatio" in marriage registry. | |
| 27 | Wm Jary | 21 | (Mann household)There is an end of dwelling mark (//) on Elizabeth Mann's line, but no digit in "Inhabited" column next to Wm Jary's name to indicate a new household. |
| 34 | Lydia Dew | 25 | I think this was formerly Lydia Baines, who married William Dew in 1837.[2] |
| 38 | Sarah Jary | 23 | Formerly Sarah Baines; married Jacob Jary in 1837; witnesses were John Baines and Deborah Baines.[2] In 1851 census, Jacob Jary, 36, Fisherman, lives with his wife, Sarah, 34, and daughter, Deborah, 12. They're enumerated in the dwelling next-door to Lane & Ann Jary. I believe this Jacob Jary was their son, Jacob, baptised in Morston in 1814.[9] |

If the "Mann" household is seperate from Wm Warnes' House hold, why is Wm Warnes shown as Head against Thomas and Elizabeth Mann?The Wm Jary here is probably the son of Jacob and Mary--Davison--Jary, b. abt 1819, and apprenticed to either Wm Warnes or Thomas Mann, but who is the Wm Jary aged 15,--- b. abt 1826?--- in the Susan Starling Household?

Hi Bob,
Good questions! My response got a little long-winded, so I put it into a new post of its own.
