Margaret Culshaw born 1824 Wigan Lancashire, and living in Wigan, is on the 1861 census with husband John born 1824 and children Elizabeth, Martha and Leonard. I found them on Ancestry but when I click to view the image it is the wrong one. Can someone with access to other records tell me the address they were at, John's occupation and where he was born.
Thank you.
Mary
