Thoughts on the 1891 census?

I haven't had the chance to check out the 1891 census.
I was looking into that when i was interrupted yesterday and had to come away from the search

I posted it only a few minutes ago!!!!!

this is a John J Jennings born in Dalton in Furness (which is a long way from Wigan and Skem)

Cumbria Birth indexes for the years: 1859

JENNINGS John Jone Dalton Barrow JONES D/10/425

mmn = Jones

from cumbriabmd.org.uk

also as a Lancastrian please can I make a plea that if you record that marriage in Ulverston you record it as Lancashire not Cumbria. Cumbria was not a county until 1971 All the Furness area which includes Barrow and Ulverston right up to Coniston was lancashire until then

I have found John Jennings ancestors back to the 1700's in Cornwall.
John Jennings married Mary Parkinson in Ulverston, Cumbria.

I understand the counties were all different back then, so apologies if I upset any Lancashians and Cumbrians.

Thanks

John Jennings and Mary had a son called John J Jennings

It's OK Barbz - you did not upset me - I'm just a historian wanting to keep the identity alive

so it should be:-

John Jennings married Mary Parkinson in Ulverston, Lancashire

Sometimes we don't see those boundaries that were set in the past in through the present eye, which may be how i was looking in the wrong areas etc.

Thanks all
