Is Mackerness in your family? I don't know where he was born, but I think he moved to Bilston Staffordshire sometime after the 1841 census. On that cencus he was a lodger with Cheshire family at Baston, Lincolnshire, can't find him on 1851 census. The Cheshire family moved to Staffordshire in the 1840's. there is a death for a Mackerness Bull in 1847 Bilston, Staffordshire age 72, Is he the same one on the 1841 census aged 55. Help!!!
