Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

A Happy New Year to you all.I have a copy of the 1841 Lancashire census which unfortunately has no index. I have been trying to trace Benjamin Titherington ( various spellings ) who I've found in the 1851 census living in Block Hall Great Marsden with his son in law James Foulds. He would be 74 in 1841. Can anyone help?

Well he's not living with James Foulds.

Drawn a complete blank on this one I'm afraid Gill.
I've just done a search for a male born 1765+/-20 and still can't find him! Mind you there were over 42000 results so he could he slipped through the net.

Thanks for all your efforts Mel. He's yet another relative who vanishes from a census. I know he was alive then because I found him ten years later.

Tried everything I know Gill but I can't find anything - but then if Mel couldn't, I didn't really expect to.

Thanks Maureen. Other relatives I've eventually found who have been missing off the index. I also found some Rawsons who had been indexed as Dawson.

Hi Gill
I know this is a long time after your post, and you probably have your answers by now. Benjamin was a mystery to me for years, but I eventually found him on the 41 census and also his baptism.
If you need any help contact me (if I don't respond, email me at arkefrith@gmail.com )

Thanks Colin. I have emailed you, but am nevertheless posting a reply here. I never did find the 1841 entry for Benjamin Titherington. I think I found his burial on 3.12. 1851 aged 85. He was living in Gt Marsden at the time of his death. Gill
