I am looking for more details on census about these relatives. From marriage certificate 19 feb 1870 Astley Bridge, Lancaster I have discovered that Robert's age is 23 and occupation is given as Mechanic. Father given as John but difficult to read occupation looks like it starts with S but not yet worked out what the rest is as I am new to old handwriting. Margaret Henshall is 24 and no profession possibly living in Sharples. Father is William and a Labourer. I thought from an earlier certificate on another relation than Henshall was Hershaw from old script writing so this could easily be misinterrupted elsewhere on computerised records?

I have HenshaLLs in my tree, and the name is a corruption of Henshaw - I know it is, because I have traced them all back to a common ancestor, who presumably had a speech impediment!! OC

Simon, Just checked your pm and I can not see how it is the same family? George Henry Hall born 1884 Bethnal Green does not fit with the 1891 family that I posted. Do you have the birth certificate? Maureen

I'm pretty sure I have census 1891 have rg12/402 bethnal green, London so might help cancel other non-matches. Robert should be born 1847.
