As the Henesy's are mentioned in the 1841 Census they are likely migrants from Ireland due to the Irish Famine (1845-1852).

Notes · Its very hard to read the 1841 census page for Thomas Hindmarsh occupation. · · I cant find Thomas, Mary, Edward, or Thomas Hindmarsh, There is a Joseph Hindmarsh/ch of the right age in the Workhouse but there is no definitive information. It could be parents are dead the children are dispersed.
