Could some kind person please look up the 1841 Census for my 4x Great Great Grandfather Edward Blackburn b)15 July 1795 born Colne, Lancashire, he was a Collier. He married Betty Shackleton.
His daughter Mary married Joseph Birtwistle a year earlier and he was not shown deceased on Marriage Record. So am assuming he was still alive. I have no idea when he died .
Many Thanks Kiwibird <3

Many Thanks Sylvia.
Yes this is him in 1851, I now know why I could not find my 4x Grandfather Joseph Birtwhistle in this Census . The Mis- Transcription is terrible The address should be Lenches.

Obviously Betty must have died if he was living with his daughter Mary. Still would like to know where he was in 1841 if possible.

You're very welcome


I can't find Betty's death, or his.



There are too many with the same or similar name to be certain



Take care
