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.
