Hello,
Have you got a birth cert for john jnr (if not try 1837.com - pay per view
min pay £5.00 - 10p to view each page) also has a link for ordering certs - cost £7.00 each cert ordered online.
A certificate will confirm birth address, parentage, DOB. fathers occupation and registration/sub registration of County birth.
The Lancs 1841 census is spread over 9 discs. There is no
name index and street indexes (where they exist), are spread between districts and discs.
In other words Enumerators recorded 1/4 or 1/2 a street depending upon their brief and street bounderies and other enumerator(s) would come along and do the rest.
1/4 of the street may bound upon a different district and may possibly be noted to be within a differing township but still recorded within that township or it could have been recorded in the neighbouring township.
The enumeration pattern seems to take blocks surrounded by 'main' roads- basically a square and the bits inbetween are recorded separtely.
If you do not have a street/road name and district you are wading through 100's of enumerators pages searching for a name.
So if you want a 1841 census search then further positive details
such as a definate address needs to be known.
regards
SKIPPY
