In the 1881 census he was married to Hannah and they had daughters Sarah Elizabeth, Caroline, Eliza Emma, Edith Ann ( my grandmother) and son Leonard. Unfortunately I cannot find Hannah's maiden name. In the 1891 census he was married to a Caroline who had 1 son (Joe Townsend) and 1 daughter (Emily Townsend) by a previous marriage. All his children by Hannah lived with them and they had another son Herbert Crowther. With Hannah they lived at Sowerby New Road, Sowerby Bridge. With Caroline they lived at 4 Chester Street, Warley. The only William Crowther I can find in the 1851 census was born in 1842 in Norland. His parents were Ely and Frances Crowther. Are your family related to these Crowthers or have you come across them in your research? Any information would be gratefully received.
