I am researching the lives of those born deaf in the 1840’s for my dissertation and I am looking for examples. I am interested in all aspects of their lives in particular how they were brought up and who by, did they have deaf parents or siblings, their education and occupation, who did they marry and did they have deaf children.
If you have someone like this in your family tree, I would be interested to know about them and their background.
I am working my way through the 1851 census returns but known examples will be useful.
