---|---|---|
Henry Kenyon | 25/m | Labourer |
Alice Kenyon | 20/f | |
John Kenyon | 2/m |
The familysearch version describes the residence as "Hurst Field" which I can't see from the form but I take it they know what they're doing? This name comes up again as a Birthplace for Margaret , unsourced on ancestry.com.
1851 Lancashire > Bury > North Bury > 1g Page 21 of 59. Note, incorrectly transcribed as Tharyon or worse in both Ancestry and Familysearch indices.
Address: 25 Queen Street, Bury (this is central current Bury I believe based on other addresses in the same census book)

Interpretation of census
The grandchildren in the 1871 census are the children of Henry's son John Thomas Kenyon from his first marriage. (This was how we first found out John Thomas's parents were Henry and Alice).
In the 1861 census is the distinctive name Abraham Barcroft; a Lancashire BMD search tells us the Mother's Maiden Name is BOOTH.

There were 5 registered marriages in Lancashire from 1837-1851 for KENYON/BOOTH (which doesn't include Henry and Alice). One was at Accrington (John Kenyon/Matilda Booth 1842).
OPC records
There are OPC Burial records for the above births Jane Alice, Robert and Edwin; which cite Henry Kenyon & Alice as parents. That means we have confirmed all of the Bury North / Bury South Kenyon/Booth as being this same couple. (Well, unless there are two Henry Kenyon / Booth, which I have seen no evidence of).
Interpretation of births
Although the burial records exist, there are no parish baptism records for anyone except Edwin.
Based on Margaret's age in censuses her birth should be 1844 or 1845. The couple hadn't moved to Accrington yet so the 1844 Bury South civil record should be her. (Robert 1842 was also listed as Bury South).
