He married Jane Wigglesworth in 1855 in Accrington, she was born in 1825 and died in 1880, that,s why you cant find her in the 1881 census. I,ll get back to you as I find more info. Bryan.

Just been re-reading this thread, and the following quote
christened 9-May-1824 at New Jerusalem Abbey St Accrington.

The New Jerusalem Church, Abbey St, Accrington, aka (Swedenborgs) wasn't built until 1848, before that there was a small building about 20 ft long used as a school. There was a small Chapel in Chapel St, Accrington, they were Calvanists.
