Hi everyone

I'm looking for James Lord born around 1815 in Lancashire in the 1841 census. He should be in the Halifax area of Yorkshire but isn't and I'm not sure where he has gone

His wife was Rachel Lord, born 1811 in Yorkshire and children William Lord born 1840 and Jabez Lord born 1837

Thanks in advance for this.

Thanks Claire. Looks like my 4 x great grandfather was a naughty boy! It sounds fairly likely if there are no other James Lords hanging about, and Rachel and William appear to be by themselves!!!

Thanks so much for your help.
