Hi List I’m trying to find out if there are any Workhouse or Poor house records that can be searched for my ancestor John BRITCLIFFE (aka BRIERCLIFFE) between 1833 and 1854. I still cannot find out what happened to him and he does not seem to be on any Census records in the Salford/Deansgate/Manchester area. His wife Hannah BRIERCLIFFE (spelt BRICLIFFE on the 1841 census) was living in Deansgate with her daughter Betty/Elizabeth. Any help finding John Briercliffe very much appreciated. Kindest regards Dianna

Hi Dianna I see Hannah in 1841 with Elizabeth aged 7, Hannah is enumerated as aged 30 so could be 34 down to 30 if she told the truth or the person filling in the schedule entered it accurately Do I assume correctly that Elizabeth married William LOWE in 1850? She gives her age as 21 and her father as John BRIERCLIFFE a poulterer In 1851 Hannah gives herself as a widow aged 44 (page hard to read but looks like 44), living with William and Elizabeth Is there any evidence John was alive in 1841 or after?
