Hi there,
Sorry you have waited so long for a reply. :(
What further information are you looking for?
There are so many places to look :D If you can let us know what you are looking for we will have a starting point to work outwards from.

Hi! Well I'd like to know who Robert (head) was married to. He was already widowed by the time this census was out. Also all of his ancestors.
I'd also like to confirm that Simon and Robert did move to Cornwall. I am now pretty positive about Robert as I found his obituary and it details him leaving Burnley and coming here.
I would like to find more details about their siblings and what came of them.
A tall order I know :)

Hi Lisa,
I would try to find them on an earlier census. We have a volunteer offering lookups on the '51 census. Try posting a lookup request in our Lookup Request forum.
Have you looked for a marriage on FreeBMD?
Kazza.
