Anna Sorry but I haven't been able to find Henry Macbeth.The only family of Macbeth's I have found is- Samuel Macbeth age 38,Shipwright,born Sunderland Jane Macbeth,Wife age 36 Samuel Macbeth son age 7 John Macbeth son age 3 months Could be a possible brother to your Henry.I will still keep a look out for him though Regards Chris

Many thanks Chris, I'm pretty certain that is them. I forgot that they would be living at Easington Lane rather than West Rainton as my gt-grandfather, Joseph Thompson was born the year after in 1862 in Easington Lane. Once again, my thanks Andy.

If anyone has time then I'd also very much appreciate a look-up from this census. I'm looking for Joseph THOMPSON, aged 31, a coal miner/colliery overman, born Hetton Houses and his wife, Ruth THOMPSON, aged 30, born Middle Rainton. They did live in West Rainton so that's probably where they'll be on this census. Thanks in advance, Andy.
