I'd be grateful if anyone can help me find information about the parentage and birth of my 3rd great grandmother, Jane (or Jeannie) Langstroth (possibly also Longstreth, Longstroph). Place of birth according to 1851 and 1861 census was Ireby. Jane married Moses Robinson (b1802, wennington) in 1831 in Orton, Westmorland aged 22. Moses and Jane had 7 daughters and one son. The family lived in Leck, Lancashire until sometime between 1852 and 1861, when they moved to Walmersley cum Shuttleworth, where the family found work in the cotton mills.
Moses came from a well to do farming family, but was only ever a farm labourer himself, and I wonder if his family disowned him for some reason. Any help very gratefully received!
