    3. Hi All, I am new to this list. My ggg-uncle, Enoch PEARSON was born in Morley, Cheshire (near Wilmslow). I have just found him in 1881 and 1891. He is aged 41 in 1881 and 49 in 1891! In both cases he is living in Altrincham, Cheshire. He married Sarah ?, 42 in 1881, from Brookhouse, York. I can find a Brookhouse in Lancs but not in Yorkshire. Have the boundaries changed, or is there another one. He has a daughter Annie, 13 in 1881, born Tinsley, Yorks. There is also a nurse-child from Sussex in the family, so there could be a connection there. Can anyone tell me the following Am I on the right lists - there are a lot of Yorkshire ones. What resources are available for the marriage and birth of Annie? I have looked at the Yorkshire resources in UKBMD but my knowledge of Yorkshire geography is not good enough to tell me which may be relevant. What is the 1871 (and possibly 1861 and 1851) census like? Is it indexed? Is a lookup in Tinsley reasonable? (It seems the obvious first choice.) Any suggestions? Thanks very much for any help. Christine
