Found my gr-gr-gr grandparents on the 1841 Census, John & Betty Hargreaves, so decided to post my HARGREAVES interests,

My great- grandparents:
Samuel Smith m Elizabeth Alice Thornber
in 1883 at St James Chapel, Blackburn

Elizabeth Alice Thornber,
born in 1863 at 13 Eccles Street, Blackburn
daughter of Ralph Thornber & Ann HARGREAVES (my gr.gr.grandparents)

Ann HARGREAVES was born in 1842 in Darwen.
Ann married Ralph Thornber in 1862 at James Street Chapel, Blackburn
Marriage certificate gives Ann's address as 13 Eccles Street,
& her father as John HARGREAVES, Cotton Spinner.

John HARGREAVES was born c1816 at Yate or Pickup Bank
He married Betty ___?___ >>> Duxbury >>>

John & Betty HARGREAVES
resident at Henry Street, Over Darwen.
Both recorded as age 25, John, a Cotton Spinner,
both born this County (Lancashire) and no children with them at that time.

Resident at Back Duckworth Street, Over Darwen
John, age 34, Cotton Spinner, born Yate Bank

ANN age 9, and Alice age 6, both born in Over Darwen

and Alice 16, Susannah 9, Betsy 7, all born in Darwen

Ann Hargreaves married Ralph Thornber the following year, 1862,
so is Ann Thornber by the 1871 Census, & onwards, and I'll post
that at a later time.
