You seem to be 'on a roll' A.G. - I will take a break and return later.

Just wanted to point out though that there is no such place as 'Lane' in Lancashire - what the 1911 actually says for Susan's place of birth is 'Lanc. (short for Lancashire), Blackpool"

If this is your Christopher, he's presumably related, though not the same immediate family - but of course it's just a possibility that this is the man you're looking for.

Finished my "roll" for the moment, Dea - have to go out!



Oh, but just before I do -


There's always the possibility that this is William's baptism, rather than the 1771 one I posted above, if the 1841 census was way out on age, in which case this would make William Christopher's brother ?? But just conjecture and grasping at straws.
