Subject: [CHS] Help with Marple in 1861
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2011 15:52:00 +0100


I am trying to trace some boys and girls who were sent from the Boston,
Lincolnshire, Workhouse to work for Mr Walmsley in his mill at Marple. The
boys were sent just before the 1851 census was taken and I have managed to
find several of them, described as "servants of W. Walmsley" at Hollins
Fold, Marple. Unfortunately the girls were sent after the census was taken
and by 1861 will probably either be married or have gone elsewhere.

I am having great difficulty in finding Marple in 1861. I have searched the
Stockport sub districts in "browse" mode on ancestry, and also tried to look
at Stockport workhouse, but all I can get is the front page. Does anyone
know whether this part of Cheshire is missing from the 1861 census?
