Hello Kaye,
Thanks for getting in touch. I have been through quite alot of the 1841 Census, (Skelsmergh, Patton, Selside, Kentmere, Lupton and most of Kirkby Lonsdale) and have not come across them. My John Airey was married to Jane Wilkinson from Killington Hall. In 1841 there would have been John Airey about 35 years old, Jane his wife, Jane his daughter who was about 7 years old, and Thomas his son who is my G.G. Grandfather and he would be 2 years old. Thomas was born in Lupton and their next child born in 1843 was born at Lupton Fell. I have looked through the Lupton Census but have not found them. John Airey was born at Skelsmergh so I though maybe I would find him on that Census but I have had no look there. In 1851 they were living in Skelsmergh and his wife Jane had died.
If I find your Airey family whilst I am looking through the records I will let you know. I've looked through my notes and I don't seem to have come across them yet.
Thank you
Catherine.
