Is it just a coincidence that a 24 year old William Airey GARTH is also living in Church Street Preston in 1841?

In cases like these my advice is: bring them all forward...do the research on each one and see what names their children are given, do they have aged parents living with them at any point in time (what are their ages/pob/occupations) - anything that can eliminate one is a bonus...

Thanks for this info, Les Martels - I don't think I have eaten any Jersey Royals that were kidney shaped...but my memory isn't what it was...!!

In case you still don't know, kidney potatoes are small new season potatoes, kidney shaped and are generally referred to as Jersey Royals which I am sure you have heard of already.  It's an old name  which not many youngsters would know unless they grew them.

Thank you so much for the summary which gives the location of the transmitter in Lympsham - it is very interesting and I have uploaded it the Lympsham Place Page
