Hi Veronica,
Sorry for your loss......The John Etchells I refer too was born in Staleybridge in 1838 and he appears on the census of 1861 but already married and not living with his parents.
I was looking forward to finding out where he was living in 1851 as a13 year old ...hopefully I would see parents and siblings or even a grandparent if I got really lucky.
Unfortunately he does not appear to be listed at all which is most disappointing.
