Yorkshire (West Riding) Completed Requests / 1841 Census lookup please - COMPLETED

Re John Sowden, b abt 1801, Civil parish: Leeds, Hundred: Morley, Reg Dist: Leeds, Sub-reg Dist: Wortley.
I would like to know the relationship to John, head of household, of two younger members James (20) and Frances(4).

I'm pretty sure Frances is grandchild - so who were his parents?
and not sure about James.

Also, where was birthplace of John and Mary?

Any information would be appreciated.

I've now also tried FamilySearch and Lancashire BMD.

I have a  cousin in UK who was born 1916 and he met her as a child, but has no other memory. I guess trolling through the microfiches is only option.

Thanks for help.

Wow, thanks for the prompt reply Andy.
Yes, that certainly looks correct.

Now how do I find what happened to her after that?
A search for deaths of Fanny Usher does not show any that fit.

I am trying (from New Zealand) to find out what happened to my paternal grandparents, Jonas Barraclough b.May 1868 and Fanny Sowden b. Sep 1869.  Last sure record of them I have is 1901 census, when they were living in Spence Lane, Wortley, Leeds.

I have heard that Jonas died and Fanny re-married, but not sure when.
FreeBMD shows a Jonas Barraclough died Dec 1916 at Oldham, aged 48, which sounds promising.

So if Fanny re-married, would the register show her as Fanny Sowden or Fanny Barraclough? I have searched for both and found
Marriages Jun 1924 Barraclough    Fanny    Usher    Manchester    8d   351
Marriages Sep 1924 Sowden    Fanny    Judge    Dewsbury    9b   1595
Marriages Sep 1924 Sowden    Fanny    Vincent    Liskeard    5c   127

Next I checked deaths of Fanny Usher, Judge and Vincent but none seemed to match her age.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
