Where is Welton in Lancashire?

It could be Nelson, that would match a 1852 birth on Lancashire BMD for John Haworth Grant, Burnley BU/29/16

It isn't the Burnley one as they are both on the 1881 cwnsus

Hi everyone and thanks,

 

Just ruled out John Haworth Grant born 1852 Burnley.  I have accounted for him from 1861 to 1891 - he went to London where he married Emma and worked as a school master.

The John Grant I am trying to trace was born in 1852 in Manchester but I can't find his birth - both the Manchester births are wrong and am working through the Liverpool ones but its like lucky dip and I'm not winning. 

I have found him on the 1861 census with his father, Patrick, mother (more likely stepmother), Catherine and brother, Michael.  On the 1871 he is with Catherine (widow), Michael and younger brother Thomas.  On the 1881 census everyone is missing except Michael who I have found with his "wife" and children lodging with the Maitland family.  Michael didn't marry until 1883 though.  John reappears on the 1891 census living in Salford with his wife Mary who he married in 1883.

Fast becoming an expert on every John Grant except "mine".  Last week I thought I had found him in Whittington Barracks, Lichfield but he was the wrong one too.
