It's probably of no consequence, but I was imagining Samuel Porritt, millwright as doing what my millwrights did in Somerset - repairing flour mills etc. However, if you have a millwright in manchester, might he be doing things with milling equipment in cotton mills and therefore his occ in any other record (I was just looking at Historical Directories and the online newspapers) might appear to be different to what might be expected?

Another thing, whether those deaths are for the children or parents, or one of each, the other two people should also appear somewhere on the BMDs shouldn't they? (unless a death wasn't registered, which I think did happen sometimes with children in particular.)
