Robert Charlesworth

  General Notes:

1841 Census for Leighton,Cheshire - living (35, Ag. lab.,b.Cheshire) with mother Jane (60,Farmer,b.Cheshire) and brothers Thomas (25,Ag. lab.,b.Cheshire), Peter (20, Ag. lab.,b.Cheshire) and Joseph (15, Ag. lab.,b.Cheshire). Also living in same household is another brother James (35, Ag. lab.,b.Cheshire) with his wife Mary (25,b.Cheshire) and their children James (5,b.Cheshire) and John (4mnths,b.Cheshire). [Class: HO107; Civil Parish: Leighton; County: Cheshire; Enumeration District: 13; Page: 6; Line: 8; GSU roll: 241248]

1851 Census for Leighton,Cheshire - living in MofsSide? (47,widower,Railway Labourer,b. Minshull Vernon,Cheshire) and mother Jane (72,widow, Ag. Lab.,b.Leighton). Jane is the head of the houshold and there is her daughter-in-law Mary Charlesworth(39,widow,pauper-railway lab. widow,b.Leighton) - It's a good guess that she is Jane's other son, Jame's wife. Also some grand kids Jane (6,scholar,b.Leighton), Martha (5,b.Leighton) and Peter (8,scholar,b.Leighton) - so I'm not sure if they are Roberts children or Mary's. I guess they're not Robert's because of clues on a later census. Also living nearby is another Charlesworth family; Joseph (28) and Elizabeth (25) and son James (1) [Class: HO107; Piece: 2169; Folio: 738; Page: 8; GSU roll: 87155-87156]
