Subject: [CHS] PICKSTOCK - Census 1841 & 1851

Cherie,
In 1861 there is this family on a vessel at Weaverham (presumably R.Weaver
nr.Acton Bridge)

RG9 Piece2600 Folio57
Vessel "Webster"
Samuel Pickstock m 37 Captain b.Witton
Mary Pickstock m 35 hand/mate b.Davenham
George Pickstock u 15 hand/mate b.Davenham **
Sarah Pickstock u 14 b.Davenham
Mary Pickstock ? 6 b.Witton
Samuel Pickstock son 3 b.Witton
Ellen Pickstock dtr 4 b.Witton
William Pickstock 1 b.Witton
Hannah Pickstock 1 b.Witton

The 1841 & 1851 are notoriously difficult for finding watermen/flatmen away
from home.

Elaine.


Dear All,
I have asked before on the list, but now have more information so
thought I would try my luck again. I know it is a big ask but could SKS
lookup on the 1841 and/or 1851 census for my great grandfather and my
2xgreat grandparents their information is as follows:-

George PICKSTOCK, born about 1795, probably in Davenham, Northwich,
Cheshire, he was a Waterman.
Ann PICKSTOCK formerly Kettle, born June 1801, Davenham, Northwich, Cheshire
(I have her on the 1841 with her parents John & Sarah Kettle).
also George PICKSTOCK, born July 1845, born Davenham, Cheshire (he is not
with his parents in 1851 Census) so could be on a barge/flat with his
grandparents.
The assumption I have made is that Cheshire, Lancashire and Liverpool
would be the areas most likely used by the barge trade.
I would welcome any views or ideas?
Regards
Cherie
