Margaret is down as Parrott on the 1851 census but not with her family, and her birthplace is given as Preston:

Thanks for that, Kate. She's probably not the right one if she was born in Preston.
I've e-mailed Bury Archives as they have lots on a Porritt family, although I can't see any connection. My Mary Porritt married Charles Alexander at St Mary's, Bury, in 1850. http://archives.bury.gov.uk/dserve.e...g&dsqKey=RefNo |

I never found Mary Porritt (my 2x-great-grandmother) in the 1841 Census.
Perhaps it's time I looked again. |

This could be the same Margaret in 1871 and her birthplace is now Manchester:
1871 census on ancestry 52 Egan St, Preston Joseph Tipping Head Mar 35 Plasterer Lancashire Goosnargh Elizabeth Do Wife Do 35 Do Hindley John Do Son 10 Scholar Do Wigan James Do Do 7 Do Do Preston Margaret Wilson Lodger Widow 38 Cotton Weaver Do Manchester Alice Do Daur Unm 18 Do Do Do Preston Catherine Do " 9 Scholar Gibralter Catherine's birthplace would explain why I can't find the Wilsons in 1861! Alice Wilson, age 19, weaver, daughter of late Samuel Wilson, spinner, marries a William Sumner 5 Oct 1872 in Preston, according to Lancashire OPC, so it looks like the right family.

In 1881 Catherine is a lodger with a family called Plumb:
1881 census on ancestry and these are the Sumners: 1881 census on ancestry There is a Margaret Wilson, 48, widow, born Manchester, in prison in Clerkenwell, London, but her occupation is domestic servant (cook): 1881 census

Ancestry's suggestion for Elizabeth born 1831 is a marriage to James Southworth. Lancs BMD has this as James Southworth / Elizabeth Porrit in 1850, Preston Register Office or Registrar Attended. This looks like the couple in 1851 and Elizabeth is the right age (19) but her birthplace is given as Walton le Dale:
1851 census on ancestry The birthplace on that census was dittoed and she is listed in amongst James' family so the birthplace on the 1861 census is more likely to be right and it is Manchester: 1861 census on ancestry 274 North Rd, Preston, Lancashire (Three Tuns) James Southworth Head Mar 31 Inn Keeper Lancashire Walton le Dale Elizabeth Do Wife Mar 30 House Keeper Do Manchester Ralph Do Son 8 Scholar Do Preston John Do Son 6 Do Do Do Ralph's birth on Lancs BMD shows MMN as Porritt to confirm this is the right couple. In 1871 James and Elizabeth also have a daughter Margaret, 9, and sons Samuel, 7, and Peter, 4. 1871 census Lancs BMD has an Alice Southworth, MMN Porritt, born 1856 Preston, and an Alice Southworth death in 1858 in Preston, age 2. So I would reckon this is the right Elizabeth as it means she named a daughter after her mother.

Thanks, Kate. I was at my daughter's when you posted this and we now have our grandson until the weekend, so I haven't been able to look at this properly.

Also the family moved to Preston after living at Waterside, Derbyshire, for a while. So the family were close together. I have found so much more, but not what happened to Ann Porritt and Joseph Parrott. I still haven't found a burial for Samuel Porritt senior or his baptism. |

Lancashire OPC has a marriage 10 Mar 1856 at Immanuel, Oswaldtwistle: John Clayton, full age, labourer, widower, abode Church Bridge, son of John Clayton, deceased, weaver, and Ann Porritt, full age, spinster, abode Church Bridge, daughter of Samuel Porritt, deceased, weaver. Witnesses John Gaskell and Mary Rothwell.
This could be them in 1861: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...cklabel=Return Church Lane, Church, Lancashire John Clayton Head Mar 56 Lab in print works Livsey Lancashire Ann Do Wife Do 45 Stitcher at print works Church Do James Davis Boarder Un 25 House painter Liverpool Do Sarah Anderson Do Wid 32 Stitcher at print works Stepney(?) Middlesex. Edit - found the marriage entry on ancestry and Samuel's occupation is actually Mechanic, so it fits with your Porritt family: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...=successSource
