I've just taken a look at Rachel Metcalf's thread and see there was another child - Jane 1832 - could this child have died with not being on the 1841 census?

I think Greenalgh is it Joan, which would make sense as on another census he is born at Kirkham which i think is that area.....many thanks, angela
