Thanks Anne, I was confused by this as it sounds like a pub but there are three families there with a total of 12 children between them plus two servants! I could understand a pub with a couple of single lodgers but this seemed odd. There's the landlord and family, my family with father whose a Provisions Dealer and another family whose head is a cotton bleacher. It's interesting to think that my gt. gt. grandfather Thomas Fielding, would probably have known yours, Amos Howarth as they'd have been around the same pub and area at the same time (Thomas died in 1862, after the 1861 census and his family moved to Toppings, where we find them in 1871). Wonder what they'd have made of our meeting by email 150 years on! Cheers, Pete Hulme
