Sorry I have not replied Have been considering the Mary/Ann thing!!

I know they had a son called George born in 1824 as I have his marriage certificate which lists his Dad as Samuel Cratchley

This may be harder than I thought

Looking at the 1841 Gail found, it looks like Samuel (50) is a sewer? and Ann a spinner, most around them appear to be cloth workers.

Hi Elizabeth

Not sure if this is the right family, children tie in with the IGI baptisms on the 1841 family, but then there are the two census returns I posted above for 1851, which casts doubts.
