The actual image for this entry is very muddled
They are actually two separate households.

Household one


Priscilla Barlow 25 wife but no head recorded
Charlotte Barlow 8 daughter
Jane Cartwright 24 lodger


Household two

James son but again no head recorded
Sarah daughter but no head
& Mary A Bever lodger

Yeah im fairly certain that thomas and lucy are parents.

and many thanks for finding the 1861/51 and 41 census.

Also i notice sarah is on the 1851 like she was on the 1861 so they could be siblings but where was the siblings in between james and sarah.

Deffo very puzzling!!
