In 1851 they lived at Emmot House Trawden, with children John (my g grandfather) aged 2 and William an infant, also Martha Horsfall, listed as mother in law. In 1861 they were living in Winewall, Trawden with John and William (no mention of Martha) I can find a marriage record between a Henry Pilling and a Jane Horsefield but not Horsfall. Jane re-married in 1868 to William Harrison, who was born in Clitheroe and was a farmer. She died in 1902. John Pilling married Sarah Hindle and they had a daughter Sarah Jane. I think John and Sarah must both have died in the 1890s as there is no mention of them in the1901 census and Sarah Jane is living with her grandmother (Jane). Any further information on any of the above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
