Although this might be the wrong list to inquire about a census listing for Longridge, I thought I'd give it a try! I tried looking at the 1841 census of the village of Longridge in Ribchester for Richard and Agnes Greenwood and their daughter Agnes (age 1 1/2) but find that the copy that I received from the Family History Library in Salt Lake is completely illegible for this part of the film. Richard was a stone mason and his daughter always listed Longridge as the place she was born at in future censuses. I'd like to find out how old her parents were and if she had siblings. Does anyone have access to a copy of that census that is legible? If so, could they look at it for me and let me know if that particular Greenwood family is there? Thanks very much.

Hi Pauline, I have looked at the 1841 Census and there are hardly any images on the pages for Longridge. I have looked on the 1851 Census for Longridge. I didn't find a Richard Greenwood, but there were two other Greenwood families, Thomas and Mary Greenwood and their children. Thomas was a Stone Mason. James Greenwood and Ellen and their children. James was a labourer in a Stone Quarry. Could these families be related to yours? If you contact me off the List, I will send you the details.
