I have the Crayston family.

Parents Miles and Elizabeth, he is an ag lab

Jane b 1847 Leighton/Beetham/Yealand
John b 1849 Leighton Beck
Mary Ann b 1854 Leighton/Beetham/Yealand
Elizabeth Agnes b 1860 Warton, Nr Carnforth Lancs

In 1871 the parents are at Beaumont Cote, either Bolton le Sands or Nether Kellett, with dau Elizabeth.
Jane is visiting elsewhere, John is an ag lab at a nearby place, Mary Ann is a servant in Warton.

In 1881 mother Elizabeth has died, father Miles is living with wid dau Jane and family in Bolton le Sands
John has married Ann, but I can't find them on the census.

The 2 younger girls married on the same day in 1883, cert says they reside in Bolton le Sands, but where are they in 1881? I have tried all the sites, and names.

Well done maddie, that's 'em!

Their older sis Jane married a Caley, so maybe she had worked there beforehand.
Mary Ann was b Yealand, Elizabeth b Warton

I'd never have thought of that.
