Hi I was wondering if someone had a few minutes to check out a census for me. William Leech on the 1861 census born Cheshire Congleton 1805. It is Jane Leech I am looking at but am unable to figure out her relation to William as the writing is quite poor. Any idea as to what it might say would be much appreciated.

Janette :)

Oh I apologise I have even misread that much! Yes that is the family I notice it says nursechild does anyone know what that would mean?

Nurse child is a foster child.

On that 61 census before the word "dau" is the word "step" written very small.

Going back a census, on the 1851 Census I am looking for Emma Bradbury age 7 born 1844 living in Macclesfield West. It comes up on GR but when I come to look at the document she or a possible family don't appear to be there! If anyone could find the family on the 1851 census that woud be great! Sorry to be a pain!

Janette :)
