Found more evidence that my 3
x Great Grandparents, Samuel Farnsworth (born Radford 1812) and Ann Middleton
(Born Radford 1812) did spend some time in Calais (and my 2 x Great
Grandfather William). Previously I'd found through the 1861 census that they
did have a son John Farnsworth born there around 1847. There is a possibility a daughter Eliza Farnsworth
was born there as per the 1881 census.
However on other censuses Radford is shown as her birth place.
Found this link:

Addresses are listed for 1842
and 1846.
1842: 261 rue du Temple, Commune de Saint Pierre lès Calais
1846: 107 rue du Moulin Brûlé, Commune de Saint Pierre lès Calais
There were censuses conducted in 1841 and 1846 but I can't find the
1846 one online. Not sure where the 1842 address comes from (perhaps shipping
records). Both roads still exist on Google maps but either the roads have been
truncated or the numbering system changed.
What is interesting is that
they live in the same road Denman Street, Radford Nottingham, on the 1841 Census
and 1851 Census, so either they had two houses and made the trip at regular
intervals or came back to the same place. Calais is famous for lace and looking
at the 1841 census there are lots of English names. Nottingham seems closely linked to Calais and helped develop the Lace industry there.
