Find Ancestors

Hi, I am looking for any information on a joseph rawcliffe, born 1828 or 1831 depending on census's. He was born in morton or marton again census's vary. He should be with wife jane and at least one daughter elizabeth in 1861. But not sure in 51. Many thanks for your time and help.

I can't find a Morton/Marton anywhere on the Lancs index. Which area of Lancashire would it be in? Lou

Hi im not sure from just looking on the net it could be near blackpool. Each census differs, its mashing my head in lol.

How old should daughter Elizabeth be in 1861 please ? and Jane's age in '61 would help as well. Elaine :-)

Have you found them in '71 ? if so, where were they ?

hi elizabeth should be aged 5 and wife should be 30. thanks

Do you have the daughter's birth certificate and if so, what's the address from that? Lou

On the 1861 Master Area Index there are the following: Little Marton Disc 23 Flyde RG9 3147 Great Marton Disc 23 Flyde RG9 3148 Blackpool is in Flyde 3148 quite near to Great Marton So I think we are searching for Great Marton, Flyde 3148. Hope this helps ! Elaine :-)

Cheers Elaine Will have a look Lou

This is the nearest Elizabeth, on the Name Index. But she is 7 .. and wrong parents ... but she happens to be in Flyde: Rawcliffe Alexander 37 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3150 90a Rawcliffe Elizabeth 42 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3150 90a Rawcliffe Alice 11 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3150 90a Rawcliffe Alexander 9 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3150 90a Rawcliffe Elizabeth 7 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3150 90a Rawcliffe William 3 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3150 90a Wrong family I know, but I'm trying ! Elaine :-0

Nearest Jane: (on her own?) Rawcliffe Jane 25 Flyde, Poulton-le-flyde 3148 56a There are NO Joseph's (or variations) listed ... so your family haven't been transcribed yet. * LOU * are your trawling Gt Marton - if so, let me know what numbers and I'll give you a hand. Elaine :-)

Dont know if it will help at all but the children including elizabeth were born in barrow in furness. I have them on the 1871. So possibly he could may well be living in barrow in furness in 1861. Sorry to be such a pain.

Now she tells us !!!! LoL. If all else fails it's Barrow in Furness ! Elaine :-)

Hi Elaine Done it...both Great and Little. They're tiny districts and these are the only 2 Rawcliffe families there Joseph 30 Isabella 32 Rebecca 12 Elizabeth 11 Catherine 7 George 3 Margaret 1 John 46 Jane 46 George 12 Ellen 9 Thomas 7 Richard 5 Checked parts of Lytham either side as well in case they'd strayed but no sign Lou

What is the address they are at in Barrow '71 please ? Elaine :-0 Oh Lou ... it hurts dunnit, all that trawling and no find.

Oh yes! Bugs me as well but the returns for those 2 districts are actually quite clear and well written so fairly sure I can't have missed them

the street address looks like 89 newbarns
