Then in 1861 they had taken 21 acres at Lyons Farm, Skelmersdale. The severe depression of the late 1870's and throughout the next decade probably foreced William to seek work in Industrial Lancashire, and in 1881 they were living at 31 Ralph Street, St Thomas, Halliwell and he was now a Carder and a Card Cutter and Changer in a Spinning Mill. by 1891 they were still at 32 Ralph Street and William was now a Bookkeeper and Local Preacher. He had always been a Methodist Lay Preacher, even back in his youth. After William's death in 1896, Jane moved across the road to 31 Ralph Street, her widowed son, Henry Dawson, moving in also.
