I'd like a look up for George in 1841 please. I'm wondering if one of them is a widower or if the spouse of either is Charlotte.

Mary is a "Wool Weaver" but no occupation is given for George.

It looks as though the middle one could be the widower!

Hello Josie,

Thank you very much.

The bottom one you found I didn't have because that one is Civil parish Huddersfield.

Can you confirm for me the middle one - George age 35 - is the Sub-District Holmfirth.

I has hoping the possible match would have been New Mill.

There is a marriage in 1827 at Kirkburton for a George MORTON and a Charlotte BARRACLOUGH. I have a Charlotte born 1806 Kirkburton so I'm fishing. A daughter Ann age 12 would fit the marriage date.

Hi Dave,

Here is the Newmill one....

Sub registration district – Newmill

Hannah Morton 25
Charles Morton 2
Sam Morton 1

This George is a labourer living at Scholes, so it looks as though the one with 12-year-old Ann is your man! (On the 1841 census, it doesn't show the status.)

Sorry Dave!

Too hasty!

Yes - George and Ann are in the sub reg district of Holmfirth!

Hello Josie,

Thanks.

Yes, I would say it's almost confirmed. Just need to rule out one more Charlotte.

Scholes is just west of Jackson Bridge where I'm hoping to prove Charlotte's brother was baptised. Some of the family seem to have moved north of Jackson Bridge to New Mill. A long way to go to prove I have the right siblings for my Jacob B. Seems strange only some of the children were baptised in a Wesleyan chapel.

Regards,

Dave
