Thank you again ArgyllGran......that's a possibility I agree. Will look into it. :-)

I don't see Jacob senior at all in 1861, not even in prison or hospital, with only initials!

I keep coming back to this one, although all the details are wrong - just because he's born in Lancs, and Chapel-le-Frith is where Jacob junior was born.
Also I can't see this man in any other census.
I'll post it just in case.
He's not born in Wigan / Atherton, he's widowed, and his surname's not Hurst - but still . . . . ?

Is that a death record, Malyon? [EDIT: Yes, you've now added the word "death"]

Is that this one?

I did wonder about this one.....

Burial: 24 Mar 1856 St Bartholomew, Westhoughton, Lancashire, England
Alice Hurst -
    Age: 20 Years
    Abode: Westhoughton
    Buried by: John Brame Curate of Leigh

Westhoughton comes into this family at times and the age would be about right.

Don't see daughter Alice in later censuses, nor a marriage in Wigan 1851-61.
Maybe she died ??

Thank you ArgyllGran. Looks as though the family were slightly scattered at that time.

Jacob was definitely a toll collector. xx
