Ann do 30 Ind Y /

folio 5 page 3

Elizabeth Cross 50 Y

Not profiled, maiden name not known, couldn't find a plausible marriage, family Catholic

1861

folio 6 page 4

Hellen Chrichley 45 Y

Not profiled; no marriage found, maiden name unknown.

Mary Fairclough 50 Y

Not profiled - maiden name uncertain

folio 6 page 5

Hellen Lucas

Elizabeth Lucas

Allice Lucas

Hannah Hisherwood 15 FS Y

Two possible matches in baptisms on FS:

Agnes Ann 9 Jul 1826 (Thomas, Mary, engineer, Eccleston)

Ann 7 Oct 1827 (Josiah, Margaret, bold, wheelwright)

not found 1851, not profiled

Mary Talbit 65 Publickan Y

Not profiled - maiden name unknown but likely Arrowsmith - see Elizabeth's profile for notes.

Elizabeth Talbit

Thomas Green 20 Ag Lab S

Possible match 1881

However couldn't see a match in 1851-61, so possibly Jane's a stepdaughter and it's a late marriage and he's another Thomas.

Hugh Hunter

Alexander Hutchson 25 File M S

Not profiled, not matched in other records

James Brown 2 Y

Not profiled - may be easier to identify later;

the only one I could spot in 1851 who was missing in 1841 was the son of this family,

who were in Manchester in 1841 but it's possible he's on the next page and with them.

Alternatively he could have died young.

Henry Howarth 70 Stone Getter Y

Not profiled - no match found in other records

No death regs in Prescot 1841-51; not found 1851 (FS); no burial on LanOPC;

no marriage or children's baptisms in Prescot listed on LanOPC.

folio 7 page 6

William Logan 12 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled - no deaths Prescot 1841-51, no obvious match in censuses of 1851-61.

Samuel Melling 15 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled - no clear match in other records

Two possible matches in baptisms (LanOPC) and censuses (1861 freeCEN) - one born 1823 Aspull,

the other born 1824 Hindley/Wigan; haven't checked 1841 for both; both colliers by 1861.

Ann Grundy

William Hume

Thomas Hume 25 Tool M Y

Not profiled - possible matches if not son of William, see notes on Wm's profile

Mary Hume 46 [40?] Y

wife of William? Not profiled - not matched in other records

George Hume

Thomas Rimmer

Ann Rimmer

Robert Love 25 Kyln Birner S

family not profiled - not matched in other records

Martha do 20 S

Jinnat do 9m S (female) //

James Beesley

Elizabeth Beesley

folio 7 page 7

Mary Beesley 50 Y

Not profiled, identity uncertain. James doesn't appear to have had a sister Mary.

Possibly she was a sister-in-law, or a stepmother.

If her age is miscopied, she could be James' five-year-old daughter Mary;

no burial for the daughter is listed on LanOPC.

Elizabeth Meadowcroft

folio 8 page 8

Hellen Maudsley 25 Y

Not profiled - maiden name a little uncertain

Hellen Maudsley 5 Y

Not profiled - maiden name uncertain since parents' marriage not found

Marthay Maudsley

Peter Mayor

Tomas Rowlinson

Margrey Rowlinson 45 Y

Not profiled because death record not found so age uncertain - maiden name Stock

Profiled her husband in spite of the same problem, to connect the children

Robert Rowlinson

folio 8 page 9

Alice Rowlinson

Thomas Rowlinson

Mary Webster 12 F.S. Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

Thomas Ellison 15 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

Might be a relative, but initial checks on him being a nephew didn't pan out

William Jaques 15 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

folio 9 page 10

George Mason 25 Stonemason J S

Not profiled - no obvious match in 1851-61 censuses, or BMD on LanOPC

There is a George D Mason in 1861 in St Helens, but he's an engine fitter and has

a 20-year-old daughter born in Bolton, so not a likely match.

William Woods

Betty Woods 55 Y

Not profiled - maiden name uncertain

James Rigby 40 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

Ann Bibby 15 FS Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

Josiah Rigby

Sarah Rigby

Hellen Jackson 15 Ind Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

Hellen Traverse 35 Ind Y

Not profiled. Probably Ellen Traves buried 20 May 1842 St Helens Chapel, age 39, abode Eccleston.

Joseph Brooks 19 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled; no clear match in other records

Betty Young 15 FS Y //

Not profiled; no clear match in other records

folio 9 page 11

John Marsh 60 Coalminer? Y

Not profiled; no match 1851, no age match in Prescot deaths 1841-51 (there's one a few

years too old)

Peter Duxberry 15 M.S. Y

Not profiled; no good match 1851-61, no age match in Prescot deaths 1841-51

James Owen

Mikel Gloster 25 Ag Lab I

Not profiled; not matched in other records

Ann Webster

John Webster 8 Y

No age-suitable deaths in Prescot 1841-51

possible match 1881 (born abt 1831)

Hellen Webster

Henry Webster 6 Y

No age-suitable deaths in Prescot 1841-51

possible match 1851

John Johnson

Thomas Johnson

Hannah Johnson 40 Y

Not profiled - identity uncertain - see profiles of John & Thomas

John appears not to have a daughter Hannah

The only Johnson - Hannah marriage I could find that looked like it could fit this family was

a marriage in 1824, but this Thomas seems to have married an Elizabeth in 1842, and there's

no death for Hannah 1841-2.

Betty Johnson

Hellen Owen 13 FS Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

The only baptism in Prescot on LanOPC is 14 Sep 1828 Rainford Chapel dtr of James Owen (farmer of Rainford) & Ann, but there are plenty others in Liverpool

folio 10 page 12

Mary Jaques 11 Y

Not profiled; identity uncertain. Probably a granddaughter of William senior.

There is a baptism match who is a granddaughter of William senior, daughter of Thomas, but she died age 6 so can't be this Mary.

George Jaques

James Rigby 14 Y

Likely a relative of Mary Jaques,

but most likely a nephew so tricky to work out the connection.

Likeliest baptism matches on LanOPC:

26 Mar 1826 (James lab Prescot, Mary)

21 Jun 1826 (William watch maker Rainhill, Ann)

6 Apr 1827 (James husb Sutton, Ellen)

23 May 1827 (William collier Whiston, Mary)

24 Aug 1828 (James lab Prescot, Mary)

folio 10 page 13

folio 11 page 14

William Garrard 27 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled; no match in other records. Surname confirmed from 2 transcriptions but

perhaps wrong.

1841 census for William & Ann

Not William Gerrard & Ann Dakin or Deakin - they were in Widnes in the 1841 census.

Ann do 30 Y

Not profiled; see William above

Thomas Owen 15 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled; might be easier to identify later

William Parr

Alis Parr

folio 11 page 15

Ann Parr 15 FS Y

Best unmarried match in 1851 wasn't with her family in 1841

so could be her, but there's another Ann Parr of similar age in 1841 who that is more likely to be given that Ann and Edward are likely siblings.

There are two 1846 marriages that might be her, both listed on LanOPC, but neither girl's residence is Eccleston. No other suitable Prescot marriages.

Richard Case 20 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled. There are 3 around this age in 1841, and only 2 in 1851 and 1861.

The other 2 in 1841 look most likely to line up with the 1851 ones.

No deaths Prescot 1841-51 for the third (this one).

Both the other two were ag labs going by 1851.

folio 12 page 16

William Morcroft 25 Blacksmith Y

Mary do 18 Y

Hugh do 6 mo /

Morcroft family not profiled; couldn't reliably match in other records.

No deaths in Prescot for Hugh, 1841-51

No marriages for William & Mary in Lancashire till Dec 1841

No birth reg for Hugh unless it's Hugh Mores (mother Davies) Mar q 1841

but there is a Hugh Mooers baptism that quarter on LanOPC

No good match for William & Mary in censuses on FS

There are some census matches for a Hugh Moorcroft of that age born Latham or Skelmersdale

but the marriage record corresponding to the later ones gives his father as James shoemaker

(marriage 1859, wife Jane Roscoe).

William Arnold 15 Ap Blacksm Y //

Not profiled, no obvious match found in other records

George Fillingham

Ester Fillingham

George Lunt

John Parr 15 Ap Y

Not profiled yet.

Probably not the son of Peter and Margaret, who had a younger brother Henry

and married Barbara Gillies McKethney in 1849 - they appear to have been in Ravenhead in 1841.

Possibly died in 1846 aged 21, but there is another match for this.

William Arnold

Ann Arnold

Elizabeth Arnold

folio 12 page 17

folio 13 page 18

Isebella Rimmer 70 Y

Not profiled - maiden name uncertain

folio 13 page 19

Elizabeth Sixsmith 60 Y

Not profiled; maiden name not known.

Previous marriage of a Pilkington to an Elizabeth not found - there was a

1796 marriage of an Elizabeth Grimshaw of Eccleston to a Pilkington,

but the marriage license states her as 21 or older so too old.

Thomas Gee 15 Ag Lab Y

Not profiled - no clear match in other records.

Not the Thomas Halliwell or Gee born in Billinge in 1823 - he's with his parents in Wigan in 1841.

Not the eldest son of John and Mary Gee, christened 9 Dec 1827 at St Helens Chapel

(father a glass maker of Sutton) - he's also with his parents in 1841.

There is a Thomas Gee born about 1825 in St Helens who was visiting in Bolton in 1851 who might be him,

but he was a warehouseman not an ag lab, and might be the son of John and Mary if his age is off a bit.

There was a Thomas Gee marriage in Bolton in 1848 to Ann Lawson, Thomas a dyer of Harwood & the son of Daniel Gee (dyer) so that might be the warehouseman again.

folio 14 page 20

Elizabeth Jaques

Mary Smith 10 FS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later

Peter Houghton

Susan Houghton

Mary Houghton

George Charnock 15 MS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later

No matches in 1851; two in 1861, but neither particularly promising

Joseph Battersby

Elizabeth Battersby

Jane Battersby

Jane Rowbottom 20 FS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later

Ellen Eccleston

Thos Platt

folio 20 page 1

Ellen Hughes 15 FS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later

Peter Forber

Martha Forber

folio 21 page 2

folio 21 page 3

John Lyon 15 Watch Maker Ap Y

Not profiled, not matched with confidence in other records

Not the Jonathan Lyon (toolmaker/watch tool maker) living in Warrington Road, Rainhill in 1841 and 1851.

Possibly the John Lyon (watch finisher) living in Liverpool in 1851, but his birth year is about 1828 based on 1851 and 1861, so a bit off

Lawrence Wainwright

Tabatha Wainwright

Henry Wainwright

Samuel Jones 40 Bricklayer J N

Not profiled - age & birthplace a bit uncertain, but wife profiled

No match found for him in 1851 or 61 as a bricklayer, or living in St Helens, but there was a Samuel Jones

buried at St Helens Cemetery in a probably unpurchased grave in 1867 aged 64 who might be him

folio 22 page 4

Mary Ashcroft 20 Y //

Not profiled - might be easier later

Betty Spencer 70 Ind Y

Not profiled. Two possible matches in death registrations -

Mar q 1846 aged 75 (Elizabeth) or Sep q 1848 aged 80 (Betty).

The latter buried 28 Aug 1848 Prescot St Mary's (no MI), abode Eccleston, so more likely but

far from certain. No match in 1841 for the second death registration - there is a 50-year-old

Elizabeth Spencer with probable children in Gillar's Green

( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQ2G-5J4 ).

In the next household is Thomas Spencer, earthenware manufacturer, who might be related.

His step-grandmother was named Elizabeth, but would have been 86 in 1841 if still alive.

His mother appears to have been named Mary but no baptisms of siblings found, so perhaps

a stepmother or aunt?

Elizabeth Harrison 20 FS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later

folio 22 page 5

Margret Welsby 30 FS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later, but there is a strong candidate, who married Thomas

Renshaw (or Renshall) on 5 Nov 1848 (lanOPC) and had a 2-year-old illegitimate daughter

Martha not long before the marriage ( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGYX-DRD )

Sarrah Chesworth 20 FS Y

Not profiled - might be easier later

Charles Brerton 30 CC N //

Not profiled. The best two matches in 1851 are a clergyman - who was married by 1841 so

not possible - and the brother of a doctor, born in Sandbach Cheshire.

Not with his sister Lucy in 1841, but

could possibly be this Charles in Wybunbury

William Cobin 25 Watch M J Y

Not profiled - no clear match in other records. Possible burial 22 Sep 1849 Prescot St Mary's William Cubbin aged 34 abode Whiston (LanOPC). No marriage found, no obvious children.

Mary Strettle 30 Y /

Not profiled, identity uncertain - see James Strettle's bio

Ellen Wainwright 65 Porper Y //

Not profiled, maiden name & age uncertain - not found 1851-61, probably

buried 3 Jan 1847 Prescot St Mary's aged 67, abode Eccleston - this is the only age-appropriate

death registration in Prescot district with phonetic-similar surname searching.

Joseph Standley

Elizabeth Standley

Hannow Standley

Thomas Standley 3 Y

Not profiled - not matched in other records.

Not to be confused with Thomas Stanley (abt.1839-1911) the son of Henry and Mary, who was with his parents in 1841 aged 2.

No suitable birth registrations or baptisms in Prescot district. No deaths 1841-51 in Prescot district. Not found in 1851 census in Prescot.

Francis Hollihead 45 Labour Y

Not profiled because age reported very erratically, so birth year quite uncertain.

45 in 1851^[1], 60 in 1861,^[2] 72 at burial on 1 Aug 1865 (LanOPC).

Mary Sixsmith

Orates Oliver

Hannah Oliver 50 N

Not profiled - not enough information to match in other records

Not found in Prescot district in 1851 or 1861

there was a Hannah Oliver death in Prescot in 1849, but she was 71

No burial record found for the 1849 Hannah to compare age

Thomas Clitherow 80 Porper Y

Not profiled - not matched in other records, there isn't even a death in Prescot for him

William Davis

Pheby Davis

William Davis

folio 29 page 19

Mary Davis

Alice Davis

Thomas Davis

Alice Taylor 80 Ind Y

Not profiled, maiden name uncertain.

Died Mar q 1842 aged 81, buried 20 Jan 1842 Prescot St Mary's abode Eccleston.

No gravestone photo on FG

Marriage most likely James Taylor (watchmaker) & Alice Whitehead Prescot St Mary's

only one child on LanOPC, Samuel chr 29 Feb 1784 Prescot St Mary's

Marthy Jones

John Braithwate

Mary Braithwate 40 N

Not profiled - maiden name probably Hughes, but uncertain

folio 30 page 20

Elizabeth Harison 10 FS Y

Not profiled, identity uncertain

The two best age matches in LanOPC baptisms are both with their parents in 1841

(daughter of Nathan & Ann), daughter of John & Ann)

John Potter 20 Watch m Ap Y

Not profiled - not matched in other records. There was a 22-year-old death registration in 1848.

No watchmaker matches in 1851-61

John Hollihead

James Ashton

folio 30 page 21

folio 31 page 22

Rachel Leyland

Ellen Leyland

Ester Leyland

James Beesley 15 Watchm Ap Y

Not profiled; son of Rachel Leyland above but birth year uncertain and there are two possible

matches in later censuses (more if he changed occupation after leaving home).

If he stayed a watchmaker, the two possible matches in 1851 are

the husband of Ann Atherton, born about 1823 in Eccleston, son of James Beesley (deceased) per their 1841 marriage record

the husband of Elizabeth Heyes, born about 1825-6 in Widnes, 1850 registar-attended marriage so father not known

A third watchmaker match in 1851 has mother Elizabeth living with him, so isn't plausible

folio 31 page 23

folio 32 page 24

Elizabeth Fillingham 7 Y

Not profiled because birth surname uncertain since parents married in Feb 1834 and no baptism found.

With parents in 1851, and listed as daughter of Anthony.

No marriage or death found for Elizabeth as Chorley or Fillingham in the local area.

Not found 1861 as Fillingham - there is one match as Chorley, but she's probably the

daughter of John & Sarah Chorley (and married William Henry Edwards in 1862).

folio 32 page 25

Richard Cartwright 25 Labour Y

Not profiled, couldn't match in other records

Elizabeth Cartwright 20 Y

Not profiled, couldn't match reliably in other records.

Unclear whether she was Richard's wife or his sister.

If sister, she may have married Abraham Ackers in 1847 in F nr P

and had daughters Mary b reg 1848 Warrington, Hannah b reg & chr 1849 Warrington, Mary Jane b reg 1851 Runcorn before they all disappear.

Elizabeth (Cartwright) Ackers was the daughter of Samuel Cartwright (Sawyer)

A Samuel matching this occupation probably married Esther Ellison in 1804 in Daresbury, Cheshire

and had 3 children christened at St Elphin's Warrington - John 1806, Thomas 1807, Mary 1810

No deaths found for Samuel or Esther, so Richard and Elizabeth could plausibly be their

children.
