Hi Ian,

16 Eccles Street, Blackburn
HO107/2259 folio 700 page 50

Benjamin Barton, Head, M, 24, Cotton Warehouseman, Whalley
Esther, Wife, M, 24, Blackburn
Robert, Son, U, 3, Blackburn
Benjn, Son, U, 3, Blackburn
Thomas Sherratt, Lodger, M, 37?, Cotton Warehouseman, Blackburn *
Martha Sherratt, Lodger, M, 28, Cotton Weaver, Lower Darwen

Thomas age has been overwritten and the word underneath was months.  I wonder if it was refering to son Benjamin ?  Possibly 3 months not 3.
Regards,
Mo

Hi again Ian,

I just checked the 1861 and Benjamin was 10 years old on that.  Benjamin Senior appears to have progressed to being a Cotton Manufacturer employing 23 men and 34 women   Do you want this as well.
