Hi I'm hoping someone maybe able to help me please. I'm looking for a John BRIERCLIFFE or BRITCLIFFE on the 1841 Census. I'm not sure of John's details re birth or age or death but someone has told me that a JOHN BRI-----ITT is entered on the 1841 Census exactly as that. His wife Hannah Briercliffe (spelt Bricliffe on 1841 Census) is living with one of their daughters Elizabeth in the Deansgate/Salford area in Cumberland St. John is not at this residence though. John Briercliffe and Hannah Belfield were married in Rochdale in 1825 no ages given though for either of them. I did find one John Briercliffe born in 1802 to James and Hannah Speakman in Manchester (This James was a farmer). I haven't been able to find an exact birth for John Briercliffe though as I don't have anything else to verify it with. I'm still trying to find his death after 1833 the family were living in the Salford and Manchester areas at this time. John and Hannah's daughter Charlotte died in 1834 in Manchester ( Registered at the Collegiate church Manchester) details of this particular John would be very much appreciated. Kind regards Dianna

Hi, Noticed a John BRI???, aged 25 (probably rounded off) at Salford Union, RG number H0107, piece 586, book/folio 7/36, page 17. Sadly the whole page is very difficult to read but it might be him. The surname is certainly longer than the "BRI???" and there looks like there is an "i" near the end of it. Sorry I can help more but it might be worth trying to see the original page or a good copy somewhere. Best wishes, Charles

I think the Ancestry image for this page is clearer than the one on FMP. I think the surname certainly begins with BRIT and I could be persuaded that it says BRITLIFFE. I'm less sure about the age but think that the occupation might be Warehouseman. I believe that he was not born in county - an N in the "whether born in county" field.   Best wishes, Irene   From: Charles Gunther <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2011 10:52 AM >Subject: Re: [ENG-MAN] 1841 Census > >Hi, >Noticed a John BRI???, aged 25 (probably rounded off) at Salford Union, RG >number H0107, piece 586, book/folio 7/36, page 17.
