Looks as if the family were in the Chorlton area in 1850:

Name: Eleanor Blackburn
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1850
Registration district: Chorlton
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 20
Page: 1851

No I do not think the name was James the children do not match up.
Samule died in 1867 so although he is there on the 1861 census he does not appear of course on the 1871 census

Not sure here, but was that area one of those 'water damaged' 1851 pieces?...

1850 BLACKBURN Eleanor Chorlton-on-Medlock Manchester CHO/29/21

Chris ......... you are quite right, Chorlton-on-Medlock is included in the "water daamged" 1851.


The restored (as much as possible) damaged 1851 is on ancestry ................... but I'm danged if I can find the Blackburns on it ..........

Thankyou where would I be able to find it on ancestry

Margaret

Chorlton Medlock comes up. if you put it in keyword searchbox Margaret...

But looking at images, you can see some are damaged...so they could be missing, or perhaps another area altogether.

(Thankyou Sylvia, wasn't sure of that)
