Hi, I have been trying to find details of Joseph Greatorex (My Great Great Grandfather) in my family tree for a number of years without success, I wondered if anyone had any info or could help?

Page Number: 9
Household Members:
Name Age
Eliza Greatorex 41
William Greatorex 15
John Greatorex 13
Lily G Greatorex 11 (Middle name Gertrude)
Alfred Greatrex 9

Her Husband Joseph Greatorex died at 37 YO in 1886 of Typhoid Fever.

I have found Rathbone place in the 1881 census and someone else was living there, I have also tried to search phonetically and around the UK to see if they were visiting anyone but can't find anything. I'm also unsure of what year they got married so I'm at a dead end.

Sorry for the long message but any advice would be gratefully received as I seem to be going round in circles! I may have to resign myself to the fact that they just don't appear on this census.

Thanks, Karen
