1 1841 England Census (District 4, Barnoldswick, Yorkshire County, England). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists John Widdup (age 50, b. Yorkshire Co.), wife Ellen (age 50, b. Yorkshire Co.) and children Hannah (age 20, b. Yorkshire), Henry (age 20, b. Yorkshire), Sutcliffe (age 15, b. Yorkshire), John (age 15, b. Yorkshire), Mary (age 15, b. Yorkshire), Dinah (age 13, b. Yorkshire), Martha (age 11, b. Yorkshire), Richard (age 10, b. Yorkshire), Ellen (age 8, b. Yorkshire), Micha (age 5, b. Yorkshire), James (age 3, b. Yorkshire), William (age 3, b. Yorkshire) and Mackfarlin (age 2 mos, b. Yorkshire), living in Barnoldswick, England. John Sr. is listed as a "timber dealer." Henry is listed as a "tailor." Sutcliffe and John are both listed as "sawyers." Living next door is Edmondson Widdup (age 40, b. Yorkshire), and his family, who is likely John Sr.'s brother. The 1851 census lists William as a "grandson," so it is likely that William and Mackfarlin are their grandchildren.

2 1851 England Census (District 4b, Barnoldswick, Yorkshire County, England). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists Henry Widdup (age 31, b. Salterforth), wife Elizabeth [Wilson] (age 28, b. Foulridge, Lancashire), living in Barnoldswick, England. Also in the household are "mother-in-law" Sarah Wilson (age 68, b. Foulridge, Lancashire) and "sister" Ellen Widdup (age 17, b. Salterforth). Henry is listed as a "victualler, farmer 5 acres." Ellen also appears on this census in the household of her mother in Salterforth, so she was likely visiting Henry at the time of the census.
