Title: 1861 Census Wigan or Blackrod - ECCLESTON
Post by: cttolancs on Saturday 15 January 05 02:04 GMT (UK)

I am desperately trying to find a William ECCLESTON in the 1861 Census for Wigan or Blackrod.

The information I have for him comes from the 1871 census where he is listed as 13 yrs old and born Wigan.
In 1871 his parents are listed with a different surname - they are Hannah and Thomas Sharrock.  I am intrigued by this and would love to know who he was living with in 1861 - perhaps they aren't his natural parents. In 1871 his siblings also live with him and share his surname. Mary Eccleston is listed as 5 yrs old and born Blackrod and Henry Eccleston is listed as 9 years old and born Blackrod. So they moved to Blackrod sometime before 1862.

Thanks so much for any help!
