Hi.

Curious one this.

James Barrow bapt 12 May 1832 in Westhoughton, Bolton, son of Robert Barrow and Jane Rigby.

1841 census in Westhoughton he is 9 with father and mother both 35 and siblings William 13, Mary 4, Alice 5, Joseph 3 and Robert 1.

1851 census he is living in Abram with siblings Alice 15, Joseph 13, Robert 11 and John 9. Mother remarried (Peter Dootson).

1861 census living in Habergham Eaves and married to Isabella 35. She has a daughter Mary 15 from previous marriage and they have 4 children Joseph 9, Robert 5, Elizabeth 4 and Jane 4.

1871 she is a widow 43 with daughter Mary 25 and HER sons Abel 6 and Thomas 2 plus own childrenas in 1861.

I have ordered a couple of death certs which would tie in with age/place but with no success.

There is a James Barrow death in 1889 (born in 1828) - could he possibly be the same one? Did he go missing or be in a workhouse??

Any help most grateful.

Phil
