Penketh Township Censuses 1821 and 1831

[Pixilot]

Hello Everyone,

New on here and hoping someone out there can direct me to copies of the two surviving census records for Penketh in 1821 and 1831. I saw a very old thread about this subject with an offer of lookup, which is very kind and I have written directly to that author in the hope they may still be able to help. However I am interested in the whole census and everyone who lived in Penketh in 1821 and 1831 so ideally want to review the whole document if possible. I am visiting Warrington/Penketh in a few weeks for my annual family history trip and would like to make the most of it!

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction either online or in person.

Thanks SO MUCH!!! This is a goldmine and provides the confirmation I needed about a mysterious ancestor! Amazing - thank you again!

It is indeed a gold mine!
I photoed these years ago, copies of the documents were found in  Penketh Library, the originals were found in Penketh Chest, then transferred to Warrington library.
