Apologies, I rechecked and Sandbach is already listed in the 1871 census details.

Cheshire / Re: Cheshire Surname Research / Bostock and Nixon
« on: Thursday 31 March 05 20:40 BST (UK) »
Hello to all. I am new here, so I have only just seen this message. I am researching Ezra Nixon too and was so pleased to see the 1851 census returns listing his father, who I had been unable to find so far. Many many thanks to Peter for knocking down one of my two huge brick walls.
I would add some information:
Ezra's mother Ann was born at Sandbach, Sandwich is a misprint no doubt.
Ezra had two other younger brothers not listed, presumably they died in infancy.
They were Meshach and Abednego -- of burning fiery furnace fame one supposes. Shadrach and Meshach are listed in the Cheshire birth indexes for 1840-1845, Abednego and Ezra for 1846-50. The register lists them with the spelling Nickson.
Ezra was my mother's grandfather. Maybe we can compare notes further
I have his Leeds census records and the removal to Monks Coppenhall, Crewe but don't know much after 1901, except of course for the life of his daughter Mabel who was my grandmother
Regards
Jane
