Title: Blackburn st Paul's Greenwood
Post by: stokessquelch on Tuesday 02 June 09 19:47 BST (UK)
Could anyone look up the birth of Susannah Greenwood to Jabez and Betty, given as 27.7.1834 on IGI - and any other Greenwoods to the same couple please?

Many thanks

Thanks very much

This confirms what I have from IGI - FamilySearch. Was any of your info from the parish records?

Yes, because of ages and area, that census is correct -  interestingly, Jabez and Betty are ALSO with their parents in 1841, James and Sarah in Hoghton.

I suppose since some people can be left off, some others can be on twice if they used to spend some time at each house

Thanks again
