There are no Haythornwhites in the 1851 Census for Accrington, it is not a name I'm familiar with for Accrington. Could it be Haythornthwaite. I've checked the parts of the 1891 census I've indexed & found a Haythornthwaite in Burnley Rd. Emma a widow age 36 with 2 children.

If I could work out the date the photo was taken I could perhaps search the Accrington library when I visit on holiday next year for studios in operation at that time. William is holding a child. I believe from my Grandfather he was one of 11 or 12 children I only came accross this photo recently though it had been in my possession for 50 years! It had been inadvertently sealed in a large cardboard photoframe whick I was going to discard when I examined it more closely. Inside was this photo and a silk tassel which give the information on Betty I mentioned. They lived in Ormerod Street, and it cannot be the door at that address!
Thank you for your interest.
