1841 & 1851 LANCASHIRE (Rochdale) HOLT

[cheap]

If someone has access to the 1841 or 1851 census for Lancashire, I would appreciate a look up of the following family, who were living on Richard Street, Rochdale (which I believe is located in Castleton) in April 1848:

William Holt, 38/48, b: Manchester; spinner or small ware dealer.
Betty/Betsy/Elizabeth Holt, 39/49, b: London

Possible children in this household include:
John H. Holt, 15/25, b: Rochdale
Mary Holt, 15/25, b: Rochdale (She married to Samuel Goddard in 1848.)
William Holt, 10/20, b: Rochdale
Jane Shackleton, 12/22, b: Manchester
Elizabeth Shackleton, 11/21, b: Rochdale.

Many thanks!

Hello Cheap,

Have 1841 Lancs and if you can bear with me for 3/4 days I'll
check out Holts in Richmond St enumeration area and get back
to you.

Hello,

Did search on 1841 without result but just realized I was looking for William &
Elizabeth and should have included William & Betty (Betsy Bet, Beth)
within the criteria.

I didn't come up with anything first time around..but there were loads of Betty Holts.

Many pages are unreadable as the ink has faded and some pages are
very difficult to decipher due to the enumerators handwriting....mainly
its a combination of both.

There are about 50 Holt Families within Castleton area of Rochdale
so you prob have many ancestors in the area.

Now I have my brain in gear (searching for Betty) I'll look again and get
back to you.

A quick note to let folks know that I FINALLY found my Holt/Shackleton family in the 1841 & 1851 census.  Thanks for all your help!

in case anyone is interested in this family, here's what I found:
