Hi
I am trying to find Robert Eastwood c1785 and his wife Elizabeth c1791, they possibly have Elizabeths daughter Eliza Roney or Rooney b1830.
In 1841 family are on Bridge St, Chorlton on Medlock but by 1861 Robert is widowed and living with Elizabeths daughter Susannah Jones b1827 and husband William b 1826 in Ardwick, so unsure where they will be in 1851.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks Andrea

Hi Andrea
The only Robert Eastwood on the 1851 unfilmed name index is in Oldham:
http://www.1851-unfilmed.org.uk/1851search.htm
On the Chorlton unfilmed there is an illegible entry for Cottenham St Gardens that reads:
...wood, age 36, packer in warehouse, born Lancashire Bacup
then spaces for 2 more people, but these were not recovered. I don't have the 1851 for Ardwick, so unable to check that one.
Sorry can't be more help

Hello Andrea
Have checked the unfilmed for Ardwick (the only one I possess) and cannot find Robert Eastwood .
There are a family of Roney's but none fitting the bill .
Not sure whether these two are yours , slight discrepancy with a place of birth ;
1 Buckleys Square , Ardwick
William JONES 23 yrs head married born Mobberly in Cheshire
Susannah JONES 24 yrs born Manchester
Jane FOTHERGILL a married visitor 40 yrs born in Haslingden ,Lancs
Regards

Hi
Thanks for your replies!
Will have to assume the Eastwoods were either not in the area in 1851 or more likely on an unsalvageable bit of census, but thanks for taking the time anyway.
Also made a bit of an error in original posting as William Jones was indeed born in Mobberley, it was his wife born in Ardwick so these are my family.
Thanks again for your help
Regards Andrea
