This search is linked to a previous search request for Stephen Royle b 1787. I think Samuel may be a grandson so would like to trace his father. Thanks for those kind people who replied to original thread. Can you so something with this. Perhaps a look up in the 1851 census when Samuel would have been around 10?
Although Samuel was listed in Runcorn in the 1861 census with his grandfather, I have more than a hunch that it would be worth checking Manchester area.
Thanks
Carol

Thanks Kath
Looks like this could be him as Heaton Norris is Stockport way and this census places him in Runcorn too, 10 years previous. Mmmm....
Would you mind if you can trying to trace him through 1871 onwards?
