That's unusual. Maybe, non-conformist?

Thanks for this. If Scholes is indeed the same as Scowes then that narrows it down - just a bit!

Family History Beginners Board / John Rigby birthplace
« on: Friday 11 November 22 18:56 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find the birthplace and parents of John Rigby (c1805-1865). He married Hannah Law in 1824 in Barnsley, Yorkshire and Census records show his birthplace:
1841 - aged 35 born Yorkshire (with wife Hannah 35 and children Margaret 13, Sarah 9, James 7 and John 3)
1851 John 47 born 1804 Barnsley, Yorkshire
1861 John 59 born 1802 Scowes Lancashire
It is the 1861 place of birth that differs from the other 2 censuses and I'm not sure why.
Any help to find a record of his birthplace and his parents would be much appreciated. Thanks

Thank you all for your replies. Your answers to my question have been very helpful and I certainly have something to work with now. I do quite like the idea of him possibly being a bit of a wrong'un!
Kind regards

Hello Garstonite Yes, I did look into that but research says that men who were called up were between 18-41. Of course, we know that not to be true as young men were often not as old as 18.
I did find this record: Archibald Middleton aboard the Indefatigable died 31st May 1916 but really can't be sure it's the right Archibald

I'm trying to find the whereabouts of Archibald Middleton b1871 Durham
He has a son by an Elizabeth Chamberlain b1876, Archibald McKinley Middleton b 3rd June 1900 Christchurch, Burton on Trent. !901 Archibald Jnr and mother are at her parents home in Burton on Trent In 1911 Archibald is still living with his grandparents. Possibly his mother is a servant to a bank manager in Burton. Possibles for Archibald senior: 1901 a visitor to a house in Fulham, occ engineer (consistent with occ on son's birth certificate) 1911 Census boarder in a household in Willesden, London Occ engineer. On his son's marriage in March 1926, he is listed as deceased. I can find no record of his birth, death or marriage.
Any help would be much appreciated.
