Hello, I am looking for a Joseph Challinor in or around Macclesfield on the 1841 census, i'm not sure of his age his son George was married at Prestbury in 1838 and he was 24 yrs. Joseph was a Husbandman by Occupation. I am particularly interested in Joseph's Birthplace if it is listed.
Hi Carl Sorry there is no name index for the 1841, there is for the 1851 but there isn't a likely Joseph around, nor is there a death for a Joseph between 41 and 51 so maybe he wasn't in Macclesfield in 41. Can you tell me where son George was born and maybe I can have another go.
Hello Peter, George after he married at Prestbury moved to Heaton Norris, Stockport and I have just found out on 1871 census has Stockport as his birthplace, Sarah Henshall he married came from Ollerton nr Knutsford. I wonder if i've got this totally wrong, thinking that Sarah came to George and married were they did, therefore Joseph must be from Macclesfield as both were resident there at the time.
