I need some help tracing Laurence (or Lawrence) SHORROCK, weaver, and hope someone - anyone - can find him on the 1841, 1851, and 1861 Censuses.
He was born c.1790. His daughter, Jane SHORROCK was said (on the 1861 Census, at least) to have been born in Manchester c.1819. She married William ENDSOR in 1840, but does not appear in the 1841 Census household of her husband for some reason.
Here he is in 1871:
----
1871 Census: h. Hole Green, Mellor, Lancashire
Richard SMITH; head; age 40; widower; b. Osbaldeston, Lancashire; cotton weaver
John SMITH; son; age 9; b. Mellor, Lancashire
Laurence SHORROCK; lodger; age 80; widower; b. Clayton le dale, Lancashire; cotton weaver
----
And he died the following year:
----
Registration District: Blackburn. 1872. Death in the sub-district of Blackburn in the County of Lancaster. Eleventh October 1872, Union Workhouse, Blackburn; Lawrence SHORROCK; male; 82 years; Cotton Handloom Weaver; General Debility, Diarrhea 4 days. Certified; X The mark of Jonathan WOOD. Present at the Death, Union Workhouse, Blackburn; registered: Twelfth October 1872
----
But this is all I know. I know of at least one other Lawrence SHORROCK out there, but he was a publican.
