Dea - the area is confusing for county

in 1841 census Todmorden & Walsden was Lancashire but Langfield (part of Todmorden) was Yorkshire - parish of Halfax!

I never know which county to use when searching the area

as you have probably noticed the names Sutcliffe and Law are not exactly uncommon

I have a Lydia Law in another part of the tree but she is married to Wilson Law

Oh well found Gins.

and the 1871

I suspect that the 1861 with John & Lydia Law is a marriage between John and a Lydia Greenlees in 1831 at St Chad's Rochdale where many marriages from Todmorden took place - thanks Dea

Mel - I think the probate Gins found is mine so Abe Mitchell died in 1869

Could the probate for Abraham Mitchell in 1869 be Abraham's father I wonder as this brewer in still alive in 1891.

the Abraham Mitchell on the 1869 probate was age 48 when he died so born c1821 so could not be that Abe's father

O right.

sorry Mel that last reply sounded a bit abrupt. I do appreciate your help

Although only 43% of LAN and 36% of WRY is transcribed for 1861 at FreeCEN:
http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
both pieces 3048 & 3235 are done.
3048 covers Blatchinworth subdistrict (in Rochdale RD) which includes Littleborough
One can search FreeCEN by occup, e.g., for Pub* and Inn* - for some reason the latter also catches Spinners


Here's the FreeCEN transcripts - a bit superfluous on this thread as we`ve had full transcripts in other posts:

If I click on LAN 1861 details, it tells me what piece #s are transcribed.
It also lists all the 1861 piece #s for LAN with a brief descriptor - they cover 2650-3173.
Underneath the search screen for England 1861 census on Ancestry, there's a "read more" link on their description of the census.
Clicking on that (free) link, brings up a list of missing & partly missing 1861 piece #s.

You never cease to amaze me....but I never understand your posts?

thanks mgmv - I always forget about freecen as when i do use it I never find anything!

Robert's family on 1861 I have got - Sarah Ellen is OH gt grandmother (I missed a gt out before with robert who is of course gt gt grandfather)

interesting to see them all together - I think have have done in the past but forgotten as I have been working on the other side of the family and my own family for quite some time instead
