I found this in I think the 1881 census William and Elizabeth (Betty) Haythornwhite and 8 children living at 202 Richmond Hill street Accy.
All born in Accrington
Ive attached the census form ,I hope you can read it ....William was an Iron Planer.

Whilst we're on the iron "bit" does any one know the names of the the irons works that used to be in Accy?

Depends what you define as an Iron Works, most of the local engineering firms have been called Iron or Brass works at one time or another. Globe, Whittakers, Langs, Ewbank, Antley, Spring, [demolished to make way for market hall], Croft St, Star, Bull Bridge, Pioneer, Rothwells at Church.
