George in America

Just double checking my missing George Hinchliffe options (sadly few) and came across an 1880 US census in Illinois.  
Found him on 2 more US census in 1900 and 1910 plus a death 22 April 1914 where he is described as age precisely 77 years 7 months and 18 days.

Birthdate given as 4 Sept 1836 Sheffield.  Sheffield not quite right but close enough to double check as I don't have a baptism for mine.  

It also says 66 years in the US which would mean he emigrated about 17 and my George is last seen at 16 in 1851.  

Can anyone find a George born Sheffield 1836 in 1841/1851 who disappears that could be him?
Mine is in Huddersfield 1841/1851 but if we could find a Sheffield one it would rule the US one out.

His wife in the US is Maggie American born.  George is widowed by 1900.  

Thanks guys.

Not made much progress [yet], but here's a George b. 1836 who is living IN Sheffield in 1841.

Off to see if I can find him in 1851 ...

Don't waste anymore time on it STG my maths has let me down yet again  

66 years in the US would mean he left England when he was 11 which would be before 1851 so can't be the George I'm looking for as he was still here in 1851.

I'm sure we've all done something similarly daft.  I know I have  

What I meant to say before, was that during the Henshall searches, when I ticked the sounds-like (or whatever it's called) box on FreeBMD, I got Hinchliffes in the listings.  Was a bit surprised by that, because was expecting to get Henshaw (which I didn't).  

Anyway, just thort I'd tell you in case it helps - don't know how, but you never know, do you you?

Well there you go that is surprising.  Maybe my missing Charlotte birth from 1864 is under Henshall   

Are you watching Secrets from the Workhouse?  Grim stuff no wonder the celebs are

... Secrets from the Workhouse

Missed it last week. Don't know how.   Must try to catch-up with it on I-player or whatever ITV's thingy is called.  

Am up to speed now with Secrets from the Workhouse.

If Brian Cox was persuaded to dye his hair, moustache and beard that colour for an acting part, I forgive him*, otherwise, not.

Also thought the information about Fern Brittain's g.uncle (was it) who died in the workhouse and had his body dissected by medical students, seemed quite timely in view of the vote in the Welsh Assembly yesterday about presumed consent for organ donation.  


* that's big of me, isn't it?

Haven't seen part 2 yet but I'm sure it was in a purely professional capacity
