One of my most rewarding research options has been to also research the families of the brothers and the sisters quite thoroughly - especially on the census, they can turn up stuff like mother in laws - revealing maiden names etc, and missing people from your direct line can be staying with them Also your ancestor might have said just born in Lancashire - their sibling might have added the town as well. Marriage witnesses and death informants can also yield hints as to a sisters married name or her husband.
