William Molyneux was born Worsley, Lancs c 1832. His name suffers many variations in transcription or how the Enumerator thought he heard and spelt it. As a consequence, I'm struggling to find him in 1841 & 1851. He should be living in Worsley because he shows as living there in 1861. His parentage I have asked for previously with no definite result.

Alan is this the 1861 census you refer to
William and John Mullineaux are recorded as the stepsons of the head of family John Welsh. So possibly Ann Welsh previously Molyneaux re-married although I can't find a marriage for Molyneaux etc to a Welsh etc.
The three girls Ann, Alice and Esther are recorded as Mullineaux but they are John Welsh's children and there is a baptism for two of them with father John and mother Ann ? first wife.
Not sure who Thomas belongs to. He is with John Welsh and two of the girls in later census as a Welsh.
You probably know all this but I am just trying to get my head round it all

Alan, I had a search through all the 1851 censuses for all districts of Worsley last night (how sad eh!). There are lots of Mollineux families but none with a William of the right age and parentage - none of him singularly or mis-transcribed with the wrong family name. Even the really faded names are not a William.
I think you have to consider he was out of the area - miners often moved around from colliery to colliery. What about army records?Kat

The honest answer Kat, is that I really don't know. You have to go with the Census detail......if that's the correct Family.
In Ellenbrook Chapel, Worsley..............2 baptisms in 1832 for a William; one is 29/4/1832 spelt Molineux and is illegitimate to Ann Molineux. The second baptised 26/8/1832 to William & JANE where the surname is Molyneux.
