1891 census look up please - SPROSTON/SPRASTON, Bury

[minersgranddaughter]

Hi

I am looking for John Sproston/Spraston, born Middlewich, Cheshire around 1865 (may be listed as Newton, Cheshire).

He should have wife Elizabeth, born 1865, Ashton under Lyne
Possibly one son, Ernest, born Bury 1891.

I am pretty sure he will be in Bury as he was there in 1881 with his widowed mother, Emily Sproston (nee Sims) (born 1846) and his sister, Sarah J (born 1871).

I would also love the 1891 entry for his mother, Emily, but this is not as important.

Many thanks,

Sue

I suspect this is Emily on the 1891:

19 Geoffrey Street, Bury
Sarah J Sims, Head, S, 49, Living on her own means, Nottingham Mansfield
Harriet, Mother, Wid, 71, Yorkshire Sheffield
Emily Porter, Sister, Mar, 47, Cotton Winder, Nottingham Pleasley

I can`t find a marriage for her though.

Thanks Mo- could be "Sproston" mis-transcribed as "Porter".

Happens a lot.

That`s what I was thinking, but then it states Married.
