Ormskirk isn't transcribed on FreeCEN for 1841.
It's here on Family Search: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQ2G-6T3 If the link doesn't work just search him, b 1826 Ormskirk and it was the sixth match on the census results list.

once again you are a star , I want to thank you so much for all of your help through the past years , i know it's been a struggle for you lol , but we always get there ! in the end lol you have helped me so much , and found all these wonderful snippets of ancestors lives . It colours in some of the grey areas of the past , and brings them to life . I was unfortunate not to know a lot of my grandparents , so it means so much to me to find all these things ..you have the patience of a saint lol ,as i said my sight is not the best , and i miss things which are simple , But you always make sure i get it correct . . you have contributed so much for me . But i think i have learned a lot from you , although i still think i've a long way to go Lol So a big Thank You x

Quote:
James Balshaw lived in Aughton St through to 1871. I can't be sure he is in the same house, but the household was always large (never 15 though, maybe 7-10 individuals). In 1871 the house is given a number - 47. I looked at number 47 in 1891 onwards where information about the property is asked for. In 1891 and 1901 just the number of rooms if less than 5 is requested, but nothing is filled in, suggesting 5 or more rooms. In 1911 the question is The number of rooms, including the kitchen but excluding scullery, lobby or closet, office or shop. This time it says 7 rooms. Of course we don't know for sure if the houses had been knocked down and rebuilt, or renumbered etc etc during those decades, but looking at these photos: https://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/n...treet-11049144 you see most of the properties have Georgian style sash windows with 6-12 glazed sections, suggesting the buildings were pre-Victorian, so very likely the sort of building number 47 would have been part of. 7 rooms for 15 people would warrant an article in the tabloids today, but wouldn't have been classed as particularly overcrowded in 1841.

Thanks merry , that's a lovely pic . yes i agree the houses look pretty big . some of them still exist . i have joined the ormskirk bygone days site , they have some interesting info all about ormskirk people etc . I haven't been to ormskirk for a couple of years it's a nice sweet place , surrounded by a lot of farmland , a lot of veg etc are grown around that part for lancashire and beyond . it was really bustling in the 1800s looking at some of the old photos on ormskirk bygone days . So was moor st and church st . It's a busy place as edge hill university is only a couple of miles away so it attracts a lot of people from outside the area . Thanks
