Matthew Chorley 65  Farmer b. Prescot
Ellen Chorley 67 b. Whiston
Jacob Chorley 25 son Farmers Son at home b. Prescot

Could have changed his job between 1841 & 1844 when Sarah married

Thank you both, seems rather strange to go from farmer to coal miner then back to farming still unsure its the right family unless I can prove otherwise.

better money down Sutton Colliery - but - working in extreme closed space when you are used to being on open fields .....I can see why he went back to farming ...

Marriages also at Rainford with father Mathew on Lancsopc have Margaret in 1846 with father Mathew a Farmer.  There is also a marriage in 1837 for a William Chorley whose father Mathew was a Miner.

I would be more concerned if he started off as a Farmer then went down the mines

Thank you both Rosie have found William in the Census 1861 living next door to his Father Matthew I now think this is the right family.

Best Wishes Margie.
