1851 England Census: Edward BLACKOW Family

In 1851 Edward BLACKOW and his family were still living in Northowram, Halifax, Yorkshire, but in Charles Town. This time Edward and Margaret's ages are what we would expect, and in addition to Edward working as a wool comber, so are sons Henry and James. Here we also see that both Edward and Margaret were born in Lancashire county.
