Many thanks for your replies and interesting information. I do have a lot of details for this family, I always knew my mother as Eleanor Garnett and it's only in the last few years I have traced her birth family, so this has opened up a whole new line of research.
Trish. that's an interesting thought about them being non conformist, I hadn't thought of that.
Heather, I haven't been able to find any information on the marriage of Lancelot (b1857) to Sarah Jane Ormerod apart from it being in 1885. I have looked on BMD and on familysearch.org, but as I am an amateur at this research I may be looking in the wrong place. I have also not being able to find records of Sarah Jane Hoggarths death although I have seen her grave in Levens churchyard.
Radcliff, I have details of the gory accident which happened to Lancelots servant.
The details of the marriage you have posted of the daughter of Lancelot (b1826) raises an interesting point. You have her name as Jennie, in the 1861 census, there are two girls, Agnes and Jane. Do you think Jennie and Jane are the same person.
