They are actually all boarders at the house of William Hamer, a beerseller, and his wife Ann.

Andrea, I think the one you just found is from Preston and , as there is an 1891 census for her as opposed to the one you have above for your Mary J., they are two different people.
However, what about this 1901 census for her, brother John and father, James.

just found mary j cook from the 1891 census on the earlier 1881 census with mother sophie cook age 31 but no james still. how wierd this family is lol.

looks like them yes. were are the parents? must be alive to have the others.

This looks like 2 of the Cook children from the 1901 census, Annie 18 and Willie 15, now Annie 8 and William 5 and they're with Hamer grandparents:
1891 census
12 Brown St., Blackburn, Lancashire
John Hamer, head, 62, rag merchant & labourer
Mary, wife, 60
2 Gibson lodgers
John Cook, grandson, 10
Mary J., grandau, 12
Annie, grandau, 8
William, grandson, 5
All born Blackburn.

yes we have seen the other lackinson, and agree he must be related. thanks margaret.

glen, will do that thanks.

andrew, going to order that cert now. thanks

thank you all very much. i love this site lol.

andrea and adelle x x

There's another Lackinson Cook on the 81 census. Must be related, surely, with such an unusual name? He was born 1845, Blackburn.

The "less is more" approach when you search for hits in the census often works best.

If you can't find a particular ancestor by filling in all the boxes try leaving one or two blank, also consider mistranscriptions as illustrated above.

For example enter just the surname and Lancashire as county of residence, see how many results you get, you might well find other family just by looking for the surname in the county.



Glen

The only sure way to find parents is to order the birth cert.

Andy

thank you all so much. we both are jumping for joy now ha ha. tried finding this for so long

thank you all again

andrea and adelle x x x x

ps. how would we find lackinsons mother and father in 1891 census.

The original looks like Lackinson. The L is exactly like the one in Lancashire, unless the county is Tancashire!

Hi Andrea

As you say, the transcriber misread the census record. Ancestry is sadly riddled with errors and if a you can't find a name, chances are its mistranscribed. This must be the cause of the majority of lookup requests made.

Andy

In 1901
Mary J. Hamer is head, widow
Ann Smith, her aunt, widow
Annie Cook, niece
Willie Cook, nephew
Lackinson Cook, nephew
