I would be grateful for a check on the 1891 census for a Thos Langton born 1839 in Lancashire.
He was living in Cheshire in 1891 with other Langtons, but I can't work out his relationship to them.
The head of the house was Catherine Langton c1852, a widow with 8 children and two others living at the house, Thos Langton and someone so far unknown to me.
The census reference begins with RG12/3290
Thanks

This is a strange street numbering system here because two houses previous to this family at #32 was
LANGTON Catherine Head Wid 39 Cheshire Birkenhead Mary Jane Dau Unmarr 19 Cotton Frame Tenter Lancs Preston Eliz Ann Dau Unmarr 17 Cotton Winder Lanc Preston George W Son Unmarr 15 Cotton Warehouse Boy Cheshire Stalybridge Robert Son Unmarr 13 Furnace Boy (iron) Cheshire Stalybridge Laura Dau Unmarr 11 Scholar Cheshire Stalybridge Ada Dau Unmarr 9 Scholar Cheshire Stalybridge Albert Ed Son Unmarr 7 Cheshire Stalybridge Lilian Dau Unmarr 2 Cheshire Stalybridge
Thanks Karenlee, that has sorted out my confusion, as it may be just a coincedence with the two Langton families living near each other.
The "unknown" person that I had, appears to live in the house in between them, whatever number that is I originally thought that they all lived together.
With the full census reference, that you gave me, I have been able to work out that the unknown person is called Mary Lyke, and appears to be no link after all.
It does give me another Langton family to try to follow up though... (maybe another time )
Thanks again, and very much appreciated.
