Find Ancestors

Please could anybody look on the 1871 census for me. I'm looking for a little girl, aged 1 - 2 yrs called Catherine Aspinall. Her parents are Stephen and Margaret Aspinall and she may have an older sister called Margaret, who could be 4-5 yrs old. They are a Lancashire family (Burscough) and boat people on the Leeds/Liverpool Canal, so I'm sorry I can't give an exact location on census night. Thank you in advance for any help. Kind regards, from Beryl

Hello Porkie Pie and Louise Thank you so very much for your help. I was pretty certain that Catherine's father worked on the Canal, but I truly could be mistaken. I'll check again on that. Thanks for taking the time to reply, it is much appreciated. Best wishes, from Beryl

Hello Julie Thanks to you too for taking the time to help. This family looks quite promising - I'll check things out a little further now. Many thanks again, with best wishes from Beryl

Hi Julie Thanks - yes that the family! I'd been wondering if perhaps Catherine had died as a child, simply because there was a biggish gap between daughter Margaret and son William. I noticed on the 1871 census, there was an Ellen. I hadn't come across her before and certainly by 1881 she could have left home and married. Thanks again Julie, take care from Beryl
