Can’t be certain about some of these and you will need to research further, but should give you a fair amount of clues to work on. I suggest you get a subscription to www.ancestry.co.uk and kiss goodbye to life as you knew it The 1901 Census shows a Thomas H Cowgill born about 1884 in Burnley living at what looks like 2 Lutner Street Burnley with Sarah Cowgill Widow 5? Born Manchester Ruth R. Cowgill Daughter 20 Heald ?? Born Burnley Thomas H. Cowgill Son 17 Drawer Coal Miner Born Burnley Ernest Cowgill Son 11 Born Burnley The 1891 Census shows 20 Rushworth Street Burnley Lancashire Sarah Cowgill Widow 4? Housewife Manchester Mary E. Cowgill Daughter 18 Heald Knitter Burnley William H. Cowgill Son 16 Mechanic Burnley Harriett E. Cowgill Daughter 12 Scholar Burnley Ruth R. Cowgill Daugher 10 Scholar Burnley Thomas H. Cowgill Son 7 Scholar Burnley Ernest Cowgill Son 2 Scholar Burnley The 1881 Census shows the following 10 Paradise Street Burnley Lancashire Thomas H. Cowgill Head 36 Gas Works Labourer Burnley Sarah Cowgill Wife 36 Manchester William B/H Cowgill Son 6 Scholar Burnley Mary E. Cowgill Dau 9 Scholar Burnley Harriett E. Cowgill Dau 2 Scholar Burnley Ruth R. Cowgill Dau 2mos Scholar Burnley (The enumerator has written that Ruth and Harriett are scholars!) The 1871 Census shows the following: 7 Back Launden Bank Burnley Lancashire Boarding with Isabella Laycock Thomas Cowgill Boarder 28 Weaver/Cotton Burnley Trying to match him further back is a bit more difficult without certificates. Suggest you try and find his birth (no match on FreeBMD, but that only means it might not have been transcribed yet). Thomas Cowgill married Sarah Wood in March 1872 in Burnley 8e, 356 These are pretty good possibilities for Sarah The 1851 Census shows 8 Bank Street, Whalley Burnley Joshua Rawlinson Head 66 Handloom Weaver (Cotton) Burnley Sarah Rawlinson Wife 64 Burnley Elizabeth Rawlinson Dau 36 Spinner (Cotton) Burnley Ann Wood G’dau 10 Heald Knitter Manchester Sarah Wood G’dau 7 Scholar Manchester Hannah Taylor Visitor 39 Power Loom Weaver Padiham The 1861 Census shows the following: 1 Maltkiln Street Burnley Elizabeth Rawlinson Head 47 Grocer Burnley Sarah Ann Howell Sister 35 Grocer Burnley Richard Edward Howell Nephew 4 Scholar Burnley Sarah Wood Niece 17 Power loom cotton weaver Manchester The 1871 Census shows the following: 35 Parker Lane, Burnley Boarding with Hannah Coup (??)
