Title: Ashton-u-Lyne 1891 census lookup
Post by: Meg on Wednesday 30 November 05 09:51 GMT (UK)

I'd be most grateful if anyone with the CD of the 1891 census could check for the following family. I suspect that the name has been mis-transcribed on Ancestry as they appear in 1881 and 1901 but cannot trace under Howarth or Howard in 1891.

Head  Ralph HOWARTH b. abt 1856 Ashton-U-Lyne Lancs
Wife Agnes HOWARTH b. abt 1852  Greenhead/Haltwhistle Northumberland
son William Howarth b. Feb 1876 Littlemoss Ashton-u-Lyne
daughter Elizabeth Howarth b. 1879 Ashton-U-Lyne

In 1881 the family were all together at 4 Bank St Ashton
By 1901 Ralph was living with his father at 24 Napoleon St Waterloo, Ashton-u-Lyne and Agnes was a boarder at 76 Old St AuL
