Member Since: January 0001 Posts: 0 Send Message	I am trying to find these people on 1851 and 1841. I have Benjamin and family later but no sign of any of them before. Brierley can be found spelt in different ways eg Brearley. Jonas Brierley b1791 Mary b1799 William b1826 John b1812 Lawrence b 1815 Nancy b1816 Sarah b1819 Susanah B1821 Betty b 1824 Benjamin b1829 Martha b 1834 All born Briercliffe, Lancashire and living there in later censuses. The father of Jonas, John Brierley was married in Rochdale so there is a connection there.
