Millers in Cheshire 1861 and 1871
« on: Tuesday 28 September 04 10:41 BST (UK) »
I know it is difficult if there is no index but I am looking for a RICHARD PRESCOTT who is a miller in 1861 and 1871 in Cheshire.
After 30 years I broke through the wall to find an individual who married in Manchester in 1872. He gave his father's occupation as a miller and in the 1873 Manchester Directory there was RICHARD PRESCOTT. Unfortunately he was not in the 1871 Manchester census!
In the 1881 census there is a retired miller called Richard Prescott in Over born in Darnhall. It would be nice to think that this was the person but I need to find out where he was in 1861 and 1871. Ancestry has not yet put Cheshire on line!. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Prescott in Cheshire and Manchester

Hi John
           I have searched the 1871 census pieces for the Northwich reg. district without finding Richard Prescott, I noticed that he was staying with a nephew on the 1881 census so I found him but no Richard. I don't have acsess to the 1861 so I looked on the 1851 again in the Northwich pieces, no luck not there.

regards
