General Notes
Unlike his siblings born in Preston, Ralph was born in Bolton (see UK 1851 census).
In 1841, Ralph (14) was with his family.
30 Jan 1848, Ralph Isherwood of Over Darwen a labourer, son of Ralph Isherwod a weaver married Alice Rainford at Blackburn. This is another Ralph, son of Ralph and Mary from Darwen.
In 1851, Ralph (22, unmarried) is still with his mother and siblings at Preston.
1 Nov 1851, Ralph Isherwood (25, spinner) son of Ralph a weaver married Alice Turner (23) at St John's Preston. They had no children (1861 and 1871).
Our Ralph may have immigrated to the USA. However, the immigration records show Ralph born 15 March 1827, so this is the other Ralph, not from Preston.
Ralph and Alice were married in a religious ceremony on November 1st, 1851 at St. John (Preston) by Vicar John Owen and witnessed by Henry Heaps (X) & Margaret Scott (X).4
