Dear all, I am new to the Lancashire lists, but was wondering if SKS could help me out: On the 1871 census return for Bacup I have John Wilson aged 32 with his son Charles L N aged 6 and his other son Albert 5 along with his sister-in-law Mary M Hands 21. John was a widower who had married Elizabeth Hands (Mary's sister) at the end of 1864. Elizabeth herself died in 1870. John was born in Clapham, Yorkshire and I have traced his birth certificate back to 1843, with his father being George Wilson and his mother being Agneys Bateson. Does anyone have access to the 1841, 51 and 61 census returns for this area so that I can research the Wilson family back further, John would have been 8 and 18 on the 1851 and 1861 censuses, with his parents being George and Agneys. Also I am unable to trace Elizabeth's or Mary's births. On Elizabeth's marriage certificate it suggests that she was from Warrington and on the 1871 census return it says that Mary was born in St. Helens. I have checked 1837Online and cannot find any suitable matches for either. Does any one have access to the census returns for those areas for 1841, 51 and 61 as Elizabeth would be about 6 and 16 on the 1851 and 1861 censuses and Mary would be about 1 and 11 on the 1851 and 1861 censuses. I know this is a big ask, but if anyone is able to help with any of this then I would be very grateful, or perhaps point me to a list that might be able to help me further. Kind regards, Colin Pink Hampshire
