Thanks for this Geoff ... and it looks as though they moved onto
Clayton-Le-Moors by the time of the 1901 Census. It looks as though all the
girls had married (or died) by this time as there is no obvious trace of
them in the LIGHTBOWN's in the 1901 Census.

By the way, there are 421 LIGHTBOWN's living in England and Wales (mainly
Lancashire) in the 1901 Census. This does not take into account any
mis-spellings in the index or the LIGHTBOUN spelling of the name!

I have extracted all of these names using the 1901 Census Extractor created
by Leeds Indexers. If anyone wants a copy of the extracted data, please let
me know. It's given me some good leads with identifying the families of my
ancestors siblings and will look these up in the 1901 Census once I get my
copy from S&N or get to the FRC - whichever is sooner!

Kind regards
Karen
