1841/1851 L/U Thanks to David I have my answers

Your lot seem very mobile. My Coopers were in Henlow from the mid 1500s and that's where I was born!

Just happened to be going through Clifton 1851 looking for one of my names and came across your Lentons

Charles Lenton head marr 24 plait dealer b Sutton
Martha Lenton wife 22 b Everton

Everton is not much more than a hamlet, so why they should have  named a suburb of Liverpool after it I haven't got a clue!!

Of course you are sure that OUR Everton was named after your hamlet are you?  I always thought our place was named after the toffees 

Thanks again for the additional information, that fills a gap as I found Charles in 1861 when checking his age against Emmas.  I just noticed that Emma is missing in 1851 and IF you are going through Sutton anytime and come across John (the publican) and Ann and family would you take a note.  Don't go to lots more trouble, you have been such an enormous help to me already, just if you saw them.

It's always amused me how they moved around too.  The Cains moved from Codicote in Herts (and maybe earlier from Bedford) and the Larkins from Bedford both into London where my grandparents met.  Then my dad moved down there from Liverpool where he met mum and brought her back to Liverpool.  Seems maybe I'm the stick in the mud as I've stayed in one place all my life.

No Lentons at all in Sutton in 1851 - that's why I wondered if the John who died in the asylum might have been yours. Where did you find them in 1861?

Whilst looking at Potton I found
Deep Dale, Potton
James Lenton head marr 28 victualler & pig dealer (I dread to think what he put in his beer) b Sutton
Ann Lenton wife 25 b Everton
James Lenton son 3 b Everton
Ann Lenton dau 2 b Potton

You can't get away from Evertonians can you?!

Ewwwww brings to mind the reason why I hate Bloody Mary's.

Sorry I should have double checked the home address before I mentioned Sutton and of course I never knew his birthplace just from the 1841.
Living in New Town, Biggleswade in 1861
John Lenton 70 Dealer & Publican Hunts Abbotsley
Ann 69 Bedford Sutton
Isabell Julia granddaughter 7 Biggleswade

Is there nothing you want looking up yourself on any of the censuses?  I'd love to be able to thank you by reciprocating in some way.

Best wishes
