I can't match a mmn on a birth reg for Martha A to a marriage for Thomas to a Sarah. ???

Thanks,

If Thomas' age is correct in 1851 (the image definitely says 22) then I doubt that he is Martha's father as he would only have been 13 when she was born.

Yes, something does not add up Emeltee.

Don't know if 22 is correct or if 9 years is correct for Martha.

Can't see a death for Sarah that fits.

 

[DaveHam9]

So far I can't find Thomas and Elizabeth in 1861.

Elizabeth 20 , father Thomas a dyer.


This is not the same Elizabeth

Lucy's father is John Wood, a shopkeeper and Thomas, the dyer may be John's brother.

If that is not the family in 1841 ...

HO107/1300/1/F15
Hardwick Hall or Mile Cross, Halifax

Thomas Wood 37 Stover Y
Ann Wood 39 Y
Grace Wood 14 Y
Thomas Wood 12 Y
Elizabeth Wood 8 Y
Sarah Greenwood 17 Y

... then I don't have Thomas junior and Elizabeth in 1841.

Not sure with occupation as a stover.

 

[DaveHam9]

I'm still stuck with this.

Why would a woolcomber and dyer be a stover ??

 

[emeltee]

What about this

HO107/1303/6/F11
Strines, Halifax

Thomas Wood 40 Woolcomber
Hannah Wood 45
Elizabeth Bates 20 Worsted Weaver
Hannah Bates 4
All born in county.

There is a birth reg for a Hannah Bates Dec 1837 Halifax 22 250 mmn Horner, but whether this is the same Hannah as in the Census I don't know. Can't find a Bates/Horner marriage.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

I think that is probably the right one.

Daughter Lucy.

James HIRST & Lucy WOOD
29 Feb 1824 Halifax, Yorkshire
Batch: M007492

The marriage register says James Hirst of Southowram, bach, dyer and Lucy Wood, spin, of Halifax

Don't know yet how or if Bates are connected.
