Thanks for replies, but still cant find the info on the 41 census, any help appreciated.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, please could anyone help find JOHN LEECH born Ashton Under Lyne 1818-1820 and his father SAMUEL LEECH (no other info) in the 1841 census?

I have found a family with a Samuel and John Leech living in Littlemoss in Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire in 1841 and thought that might be them HOWEVER the census was taken on 06 June 1841 and John married on 01 June 1841 so now think he could be living with his wife Mary Ann Leech (Robinson) but cant find her at all.

I hope that makes sense. Details of John and Mary's marriage below and the 1851 census for them. Thank you x

Thanks alviegal

Yes that is the 41 census I found location Littlemoss and if John had married just a few days later I would say that was definitely the right family, but why would he not be with his new wife if that is him, hmmm.

I'm not sure about your entry above, as the location, marys middle initial and surnames not quite right. Also Mary's father wasn't deceased at the time of her marriage and I can't locate him either.

Thanks again in advance for your help x

Mary Ann's birth??

In 1841 there's a Mary Leach in the same household as Charles and Charlotte Higginson. People with those names were witnesses at John and Mary Ann's marriage.


The 1841 Census

I've trawled Stott St (John's address in marriage details) and this pair were all I could find as regards Leech/Leach variants:

Address: Stott Street, Manchester, Hulme County: Lancashire<<<<<<<<<

WARBURTON, Joseph M 25 1816 Lancashire
WARBURTON, Elizabeth F 30 1811 Lancashire
WARBURTON, William M 7 1834 Lancashire
WARBURTON, Mary F 2 1839 Lancashire
LEACH, Thos M 25 1816 Lancashire<<<<<<<<<<<
LEACH, John M 22 1819<<<<<<<<<

However this John is not born in county. His occupation is very hard to make out, but at a pinch it could be joiner. Maybe joiner and 'journeyman' abbreviated, but hard to be certain. However no sign of his new bride.

Further to Argyllgran - the address for Mary Leach is Chester Road as per the marriage details:


Address: Chester Road, Manchester, Hulme County: Lancashire<<<<<<<

STANLEY, William M 45 1796 Lancashire
STANLEY, Ann F 45 1796 Lancashire
LEACH, Mary F 20 1821 Lancashire<<<<<<<<<<<<
HIGGINSON, Charles M 35 1806 Lancashire<<<<<<<
HIGGINSON, Charlott F 30 1811 Lancashire<<<<<<<<<<<
HIGGINSON, William M 14 1827 Lancashire
HIGGINSON, Mary F 7 1834 Lancashire
HIGGINSON, John M 4 1837 Lancashire
HIGGINSON, Thomas M 1 1840 Lancashire

I think we have the couple, who for some reason have not yet moved in together? Or maybe Mary was just visiting with the Higginsons? So 1841 John is still in Stott St, and Mary [Ann] at Chester Road, just as per the marriage details.

Yes, here are John(son) and Thomas in 1841, in Stott Street:

Thank you very much
I didn't even think to search for the marriage witnesses, well done.

It appears that John and Mary Ann Robinson were married and at least for a few days after their marriage lived separately, as Mary has the surname Leach and not Robinson and lived with the Higginsons.

I am now unsure whether the family I have in Littlemoss in 41 is in fact the correct John with his father and siblings, as the Warburton family also have a john leech living in the same street as Mary after their marriage as you have found.

In which case I need to locate both Mary Ann's and John's fathers now.

May I ask which source are you using to find the information you have?

Thank you x
