	Looking at that 1841 Census on Ancestry, this is what I see ............. 1841 Census Name: Richard McDonald Age: 55 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1786 Gender: Male Where born: Ireland Civil Parish: Darfield Hundred: Staincross County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Registration district: Ecclesfield Sub-registration district: Worsbrough Piece: 1323 Book: 3 Folio: 37 Page Number: 21 Hannah Hanigan 17 b.ca 1824, Ireland, F.S. (Female Servant) Richard McDonald 55 In Wea Address:- W.C. From the image (and looking at several previous pages) I THINK the following information is there ............. W.C = Worsbrough Co .... which could be Commons or Company Hannah and Richard are in a separate household from the Canniffs and from Wm Mcconnughty Occupations are either "Wea" or "In We" ..... I think that In We might mean Independent Weaver. I looked on FMP and Ancestry for another version of Richard's occupation as that would/could confirm that the two Richards could be the same person, but can't see one.
