Piece 234, Book 10, E.D. 15, Page 14, Lines 19 - 21. [James Hancock] [Household 210]
Piece 235, Book 11, E.D. 6, Page 6, Lines 3 - 8. [Robert Hancock] [family]

Warning: The "Age" entries in the 1841 England Census pages are almost certainly in error. This is because:

Individuals in those days were often unsure of their own age because they had to relie upon their parents' memory and recording of the childrens' year of birth. Without official drivers licenses, passports, or copies of parish birth records, ages reported to the census takers were frequently incorrect.
Even more significantly, in this 1841 English Census, the age of each person older than 15 was rounded down by the census taker to the nearest multiple of five (5) years.
