Hello Jim, Many thanks for all the information you have sent regarding the censuses. I shall browse it all at my leisure.

Hello Jean, You ask > If anyone has any information about the availability of the 1841 & 1851 censuses for PRESTON on c.d. or in any other form I would like to hear from you. The 1851 Census for Lancashire has been indexed by Surname by the various Family History Societies (FHS). The indexes for the area east of a line roughly through Preston and Bolton to the River Mersey have been published jointly by the Manchester & Lancashire FHS (MLFHS) and the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society (LFHHS). The indexes are by Surname only and were originally published as booklet for individual places. As the booklets went out of print they were re-published as microfiche. I am not sure if the Preston Index is still available as a booklet or is only available as microfiche. Full details of these are available on the society web-sites at www.mlfhs.org.uk and www.lfhhs.org.uk In both cases there is a shop section and you will find the details there. With regard to the 1841 Census, a similar Surname Index is available from the LFHHS on microfiche as above. As far as I know there are no CD versions. If you buy the microfiche, you can usually use them in your nearest local library that has a microfiche reader.

Hello Everyone, Thanks for the list. I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to check up in the 1861 census for a William Anderton, he was born in 1840 and became a Blacksmith, he was living with his parents in 1851 in Preston and could have been in prison by 1861 as he got into regular trouble until he was transported to my neck of the woods in 1868. But he could also have been living somewhere else in the Preston or Blackburn region. We are trying to find out if he had a wife and children before he was shipped out. All the best Peter Heptinstall Western Australia

Hello Peter, I don't know if you have looked on the a2a site. I have found three entries for a William Anderton for Bills of Cost of Prosecution at Preston Quarter Sessions in 1859 and 1862. They have copies of these bills at Lancashire Record Office, but they do not give much information, other than the costs. During this period, he may have been in the House of Correction in Preston. They have records for the House of Correction at the Harris Library in Preston, but some of the years are missing. The entries give the person's name, age and what they are in for and later it may give the sentence they have been given. Do you know the address he was living at in 1851? Kind regards, Anne in Bolton. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter & Ivy Heptinstall" <piheppy@netserv.net.au> To: <ENG-LANCS-PRESTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 1:50 AM Subject: Look Up 1861 > Hello Everyone, Thanks for the list. > I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to check up in the 1861 census for > a William Anderton, he was born in 1840 and became a Blacksmith, he was > living with his parents in 1851 in Preston and could have been in prison > by 1861 as he got into regular trouble until he was transported to my neck > of the woods in 1868.

Hi, Paul, I saw your note about English Martyrs' registers. Good to know that they are now easily available. You comment > They are indexed as well. I hasten to add the indexing is somewhat idiosyncratic (sp) !! The indexing is a fairly standard way for Catholic registers to be indexed as they were generated. In the Baptism Registers, the names were entered in a list by initial letter of the surname as the baptisms occurred. This means that they are in chronological order under first letter, so under 'L' the list may be 1897 Lancaster Lucas 1898 Lowe Lynch Lenny but they will be in date order, and usually the year is included as a heading in the index. This means that if you have some idea of the date, it is fairly easy to see if the record of interest is there, or not.

Hello all For your information. The baptism and marriage records of English Martyrs RC church have recently been deposited in the LRO in Preston. They run from 1867 until c1940. They are indexed as well. I hasten to add the indexing is somewhat idiosyncratic (sp) !! The parish covered the NW of Preston. Also from 1867 they served the Catholics of Fulwood barracks, so their baptism etc records will be the above volumes too. Hope this is of some help to listers. I can give a more detailed descrition of the parish boundries if required. regards paul harrison. apologies if this info has been posted before

Richard ECCLES found, still on Berry St, in 1861 (many thanks, Clinton). I hope to make it to the Harris/LRO myself to look for the WILSONs. Thank you to everyone who responded.
