John Ainsworth, 1841, Preston.

[ROGibson]

Hi,

I'm trying to trace my great great grandfather John in the census entries. Could somebody try and locate him please? He was born in 1841 in Preston, Lancashire. I believe his parents were called Thomas and Margaret but I may be wrong so if somebody could throw some possibilities at me that would be great!

Best Wishes

In 1851, there are 2 born 1841 Preston -

John 10 with mother Margaret 35 weaver cotton + siblings Ellen, Mary, Jane and Margaret (in Preston)

John 10 with grandparents John 74 and Mary 68 + son William 28 and daughter in law Elizabeth 21 (in Preesall with Hackensall)

Will see if I can find them in 1841 too.....

Thank you. It is the first John that I am looking for.

Hi

The nearest I can see in 1841 is a Margery Ainsworth 25 living in Preston who is a cotton weaver..the same occ as the Margaret in the 1851 cencus.

She has no children with her so perhaps John was b after the cencus in 1841.
