Hi Mike, I wish I could narrow it down. I have the eldest brother in 1861 living in Radcliffe who is married and a possible unmarried sister living a few streets away working as a servant but no other family members in Radcliffe. This is the family in 1841 1841 Census - Merrington, Durham William Horrocks - 25 - Quarryman - born in county - no Jane Horrocks - 20 - born in county - no John Horrocks - 1 - born in county - yes They had 4 other children, George Hunter Horrocks, Sarah Horrocks, Maria Horrocks & James Horrocks John appears in 1861 ... 1861 Census - Blackburn Street, Radcliffe, Lancs John Horrocks - Head - M - 22 - Shoemaker - Yorkshire Rachel Horrocks - Wife - M - 29 - Shoemakers wife - Radcliffe, Lancs & his sister (possibly) is not far away 1861 Census - Water Lane, Radcliffe, Lancashire Living with the Bowker family Sarah Horrocks - Serv - Um - 17 - House Servant - Durham, Sunderland The next time I have the family is when George get's married ... St John's, Hurst, Ashton-under-Lyne - July 24th 1864 - George Hunter Horrocks - 23 - Bachelor - Collier - Hurst - William Horrocks - Labourer & Sarah Smith - 21 - Spinster - Ashton - James Smith - Joiner. I have them in 1871 ... 1871 Census - North Road, Droylesdon George Horrocks - Head - M - 29 - Coal Miner - York, York Sarah M. Horrocks - Wife - M - 26 - Halifax, York Jane Horrocks - Daur - 3 - Scholar - Clayton, Lancashire Hannah M. Horrocks - Daur - 1 Clayton, Lancashire Maria Horrocks - Sister – 22 - Cotton Winder - Clayton, Lancashire The family seem to be in the Clayton area on everything else I have from 1865 onwards. It would make sense to look in the Hurst area as well but I can't find that either in 1861. Any help would be very much appreciated ~ thank you Vanda __________________________________________________________ 2 for 1 Special Offer on Tiscali SpyGuard to protect your online identity - http://www.tiscali.co.uk/spyguard __________________________________________________________

Hurst is about a mile to the north east of Ashton Under Lyne. Radcliffe is the other side of the city to the east of Bolton near to Bury. I will check out the street names later.
