Okay, I'm narrowing it down to a smaller area and date, but I still need help!!!! Can anyone look on the 1841 census and find information about the BARRETT family particularly Abraham, listed as living in Standishgate and aged 29 on his marriage certificate from 1838. He married Jane Pennington (Pinnington) who is listed as age 27 and living on Wigan Lane with father Thomas Pennington/Pinnington. I am interested in finding out more about these two families...PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you!!
:lol: :-? :wink:

Good Morning Steph, I have the Stepping Stones discs for Lancashire 1841, but i have to say they are not the best ones i have ever seen...
They are not street indexed or name indexed, so you have to trawl through a disc and hope for the best. Wigan is only a partial census, however i did find this entry that might be of interest;
1841 Wigan Enumeration District 3
Coopers Yard.
Thomas Pennington. 55 B. (this county) Yes.
Ann Pennington. 45 " "
Thomas Pennington. 20 " "
John Pennington. 15 " "
------------------------
These may or may not be yours ?? the 1841 rounds ages down to the nearest 5, so the ages will not be absolutly correct.
Regards
Pam.
