Chris, This information looks distinctly promising, need to tie a couple of loose ends up first before being able to confirm for definite. Many thanks for looking that up. If this is my family then it looks as if they had two daughters called Elizabeth. My great-grandmother, Elizabeth Younger was born in 1866 in West Rainton. Wonder if the first Elizabeth, as listed on the 1861 census, died before my great-grandmother was born?? Something for me to ponder... Once again, many thanks Andy.

Could some kind person perform a look-up for me? The information I have is a little patchy but it should suffice. I'm looking for: William YOUNGER, Head, Married, Agricultural Labourer (?), age unknown, place of birth unknown Isabella YOUNGER, Head, Married, age 33 or thereabouts, born Merrington, Durham Thomas YOUNGER, Son, age < 1, born West Rainton, Durham It's likely that they're living in West Rainton and it's more than likely that there are children older than Thomas living in the household. Also are any people with the surname APPLEGARTH living in this household? Many thanks, Andy.
