This looks like it could be the same William as mentioned in the 1841 census. However, his mother is married to John Jarvis. Could she have re-married. Also note on the 1841 census, sent previously, there is a Mary Langstaff in the household. Could she be the sister mentioned in the siblings list.

Edit: Likely re-marriage for Ann Longstaff.

Hi Sharon,
I don't have the English Census (the rest of my tree is in Scotland so I use scotlandspeople), I was wondering if you could see where Robert MacKintosh came from and what he did. It's just for fun but a good story!

Dear Helen,
This is very good. Jingle Bells has also found a Pollington. As I've said are there any William Longstaffs of the correct age from Pollington?

Hi,
I'm trying to firm up my Longstaff ancestors. I'm starting with George Longstaff.
What we know so far:-
George Longstaff was born 22 March 1860 in Barnard Castle.

His parents were:-
William Longstaff b c1837 Pellington, Lincolnshire (we can't find Pellington and it may be a misheard name)
Winifred Hogan b c1839 Wakefield, Yorks

We have a marriage for William and Winifred in Teesdale 1859.
We also have them in the 1861 census but can not find William, Winifred or George in the 1871 census.

I have George Longstaff's family in the 1891 and 1901 census but not the 1881 census

So I would like to know:-
1. Anything about William, Winifred and George between 1861 and 1881.
2. Did George have any siblings?
3. Anything about the parents of William and Winifred .

thanks for looking
Bob
