Yes I had found the family in both these census, i I just can’t find a marriage for Abraham and Mary nor a birth for Abraham. However I did find a marriage of Abraham Stopford and Betty Andrews (Ashton) in 1780 in Ashton under Lyne but couldn’t find if they had a son Abraham . Found a connection possibly of this marriage because Abraham and Mary had a daughter named Betty baptised 29th June 1823. Obviously in the 1841 and 1851 census Abraham husband was not listed so presume he was the death listed in 1841

How do you know the exact date of death?

If you want help, you need to give all the family forenames. We can’t guess at what they were.

Is this the father

STOPFORD, ABRAHAM 46
GRO Reference: 1841 M Quarter in ASHTON AND OLDHAM Volume 20 Page 25


The death cert should hopefully give his address which will help the search

I have seen this one but on the 1851 census Abraham wasn't on it and states mother widow of son William b 1821 ,his wife and siblings was named Mary. So this is not the Abraham I want. Many thanks

Trying to find a family in the 1841, I have put in most of the family Christian names and just unable to find the family. Name of Stopford and living in Droylsden or Ashton under Lyne Lancashire. Believe husband Abraham died 3 Mar 1841, so unsure if they didn't admit their census because of his death. Another pair of eyes please
