I have sourced my Worrall Family (various Spellings) from the 1871 Census. Up till the 1901 Census.

But  where are they in previous census?

Peter Worrall  [1850c] appears with a Thomas Worrall  [1846c] as lodgers in Deansgate Area of Manchester in 1871 and after his Marriage in 1873 to Theresa Hurst he appears in all future census with his family right upto his death in 1896.

I know his father is also called Peter Worrall but there is no finding them on the 1841; 1851; 1861 census.

Both Peter and Thomas are born in Manchester.  So where are they in 1861?

What is interesting is that Peter's first child born 1874 is born in Earlstown. However the next child born in 1876 and all other children, born in Manchester.

So obviously they lived in Earllstown,  for a while. Question is was it work that took them to Earlstown [railway developement] Or did they have family in the  area...There is a  Worrall family in the area, atleast one of whom was born in Manchester[a grandchild]?

Does anyone have any idea where my family could have been in the years prior to 1871?

Thought this British Library site providing, some 19thC  newspapers on-line might be useful for some.

The Manchester Guardian is one of the newspapers available and there is some stats on the 1851 census.
