Need help again from this wonderfull forum.I can find the following from his death 1870 down to the 1851 census.But i can't find him in the 1841 census. Looking for Elijah Shackcloth,in the 1851 census it has Shack Cloth.Born abt 1820.South Creake.Norfolk.in 1841 he would have one child Jonathan age abt 4yrs.his wife would be Ann born abt 1817.Thank You.Cumbrian

Hi Cumbrian,
I know it was a few years ago when you posted but I am related to Elijah Shackcloth through his daughter Martha. She left South Creake with lover Absolom Creed Benstead and ran to Jarrow to have their child Janet Benstead. They were married later and moved to Sunderland to have very long and fruitful lives. Janet was my great great grandmother. Just thought it was a nice story to share with you!
