Hi, I have on the 1881 census WILLIAM HAMPSON born abt 1818 Stretford, Lancs living with his wife ELLEN HAMPSON born about 1825 Stretford , Lancs living with children Margaret, Jane, Elizabeth, John & Joseph. In 1881 they are all living at 'Watch House', Canal Bank, Stretford, Lancashire. Would any body please be able to try and find them in 1871 to see where they were living and if they have any other children? If it is not to much trouble could I please ask for the same information for 1861 as well? Many thanks in advance for any help. Kindest regards, Debs
