Hi, everyone - this is particularly for Linda, (who I understand is
interested in the surname Law amongst others,) but also for anyone else for
whom this may be useful:-

From the 1851 census, Township of Todmorden and Walsden, Ecclesiastical
District of Walsden.
Folio 526, page 4, Householder's schedule number 12. The address is
'Lanebottom'.

John Law, head, married, 55 years, rag and bone dealer, born Walsden, Lancs.
Betty Law, wife, married 51 years, born Walsden, Lancs.
John Law, son, unmarried, 27 years, railway labourer, born Walsden, Lancs.
Robert Law, son, unmarried, 23 years, railway plate layer, born Walsden,
Lancs.
Susannah Law, daughter, unmarried, 14 years, scholar, born Walsden, Lancs.
William Dawson, brother in law, unmarried, 42 years, engine worker, born
Walsden, Lancs.

(So William Dawson must have been Betty Law's brother, which would make her
Betty Dawson before she married.)
This family lived only five houses away from my ancestor Richard Sutcliffe,
who also lived in Lanebottom, with his parents Samuel and Betty, and
brothers Abraham and Thomas, and sister Hannah.

The other Law families which I have details of, are as follows:-
1851 census, Township of Todmorden and Walsden, Ecclesiastical District of
Walsden.
Folio 524, page 1, Householder's schedule numbers 3 and 4 (i.e. two
households). The address is 'Smales', which came after two houses in
Deanroydgate End, and before lots of houses in Lanebottom.

Householder's schedule 3: 'Smales'.
William Law, head, widower, 50 years, quarryman, born Walsden, Lancs.
Samuel Law, son, unmarried, 23 years, picker maker (- what does this mean?),
born Walsden, Lancs.
Betty Law, daughter, unmarried, 20 years, housekeeper, born Walsden, Lancs.
Thomas Law, son, unmarried, 17 years, picker maker, born Walsden, Lancs.

Householder's schedule 4: 'Smales'.
John Law, head, married, 47 years, quarryman, born Walsden, Lancs.
Susan Law, wife, married, 48 years, born Walsden, Lancs.
William Law, son, unmarried, 26 years, iron roller maker, born Walsden,
Lancs.
Robert Law, son, unmarried, 21 years, factory scutcher (cotton), born
Walsden, Lancs.
Samuel Law, son, unmarried, 19 years, picker maker, born Walsden, Lancs.
Martha Law, daughter, unmarried, 8 years, at home, born Walsden, Lancs.
Abraham Law, son, unmarried, 11 years, iron roller maker, born Walsden,
Lancs.
