1835 in Wrexham This was sent top me by Lynn, ( Curlew) . so I can`t take the credit for it. It is very useful especially as we don`t have the full census for 1841. You may have to zoom in to view it, but it should be fine. Thanks Lynn. Attachments:

Thanks for 1835 in Wrexham. Found one of my relatives, Mr Wilc-ock in Yorke Street. He was a "gentleman"
Although I thought I knew what it meant I did a search for a definition :-
Gentleman - Gentry; Aristocrat, whose income came from his land
Gentleman - a member of the gentry, a descendant from an aristocratic family whose income came from the rental of his land.
These left me with the question Who are the "gentry"?
Gentry - people of good social position, specifically (in the UK) the class of people next below the nobility in position and birth. The second of these two below I think are close to what it meant around this time
Gentleman - Normally someone who lives off the income derived from his land.
Gentleman- a man of independent means, living off income from land, property or a legacy.
Edit - I had forgotten the forum censor does n't like that name

I`ve just found a massive clue to solving a mystery, Isaac Jones , tailor. Died in 1847. I found his "bond" on Welsh Wills and from there have found his family in 1851.
