Title: 1841 Census Lookup
Post by: KarenSchell on Friday 10 March 06 23:07 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Because the 1851 census for the Manchester area is limited because of water damage, I'm afraid I don't have my man's details then.  But, in 1861, his details were:

George Prockter (appears as Procter on the census), Lodger, Widower, Age 48, Cotton Broker, Born in Rochdale, Lancashire.
The address is:  91 Stocks Street, Cheetham, Manchester.

He was in Cheetham until his death in 1882.

I would really appreciate knowing how his family was made up in 1841.  I'm trying to track down some info on his son from his second marriage.

Thanks so much!
Karen

hi Karen

George is not in Stocks Street in 1841.
Without an index, it would mean ploughing through the discs.

Hi,

We just looked at the directories of the area in 1841 and it looks like he was most probibly living at the following address:

Prockter, George:  Cotton Spinner :  H. Cheetham Street, Rochdale.

Would it be possible?

Thanks,
Karen
