1841/1851 Census lookup - Wigan
« on: Friday 07 October 05 15:40 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate my family on the 1851 and 1841 census in Wigan.

JOHN WRIGHT b.1824 Ashton, occupation Collier
JANE WRIGHT b.1825 Pemberton
Sarah Wright b. 1849 dau
Mary Wright b.1847 Wigan
Ruth Wright b.1851 Wigan


John Wright and Jane Crook married 30/3/1846 Wigan.
Jane Crook, occupation was (Servant) dau of William Crook (Collier)
Unfortunately John Wright's father's name is blank!

Hoping someone may be able to help locate them in 1841 before they married.  John would be 17 and Jane 16.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks :)
