I believe Henheads was part of Higher Booths (now Crawshawbooth) in the 1841 Census - and it seems to have ceased to become part of Haslingden administrative area shortly after that.

My ancestors gave up weaving around the time of the Power Loom riots and became Calico Printers - they had left the area by 1841 and settled in Crawshawbooth proper by 1861 having spent some years in the Turton area.

Strangely they ended up working at Loveclough Print Works - a very short distance from Henheads over the moors.

Thanks for your help on the matter - I'll have a look at the survey when I get a chance.
