Could someone help me with the 1871 census, I am trying to find information on JOHN WILLIAMS born 1834 wife MARGARET nee BEAUMONT born 1836 at Low Bentham Lancs. Two daughters ANN born 1865-6 Bradford, and SARAH born 1867.When Sarah was born they lived at 'Forncett Street, Brightside, Bierlow, Sheffield. I think that they lived at the same address in 1871. I want to find out where John was born. By the 1881 census his family lived in Oldham, Lancs. but he had died in 1877. I would be grateful for any help.Pat

A big thank you to Mathew and Cheryl. you've both helped a lot. I wondered why there was such a large gap between Sarah and Joseph born in Oldham in 1875, I think that baby thomas died befor they moved to Oldham. once again thanks, Patricia
