Have you made any progress with your Pyetts, Whistlecrofts & Ranicars? I have found the last 2 names in the 1851 census index for Hindley (index only, don't have the census). Also found John Pyett in 1841 census in Debenham, + family, +possible grandfather, +possible great-grandparents. Let me know if you do not have details.
