Thank you all for your help. I think the only way I am going to get to the bottom of this is by looking at the parish records for Gildersome as Flick Suggested.

I have also eliminated them as they did not marry till 1833 which is after the children were born.

Hi Flick

Thank you for all your help with this family and for the help you have given me in the past. The Joseph born in c 1819 I thought was his brother not his father.

I thought if I could find a marriage for JOseph (Brother) I could establish that he was infact his brother. Unfortunately so far I have been unlucky with this. Maria was just another attempt to eliminate them.

All the best

You're going to need to look at Parish Records for Gildersome.........at the County Records Office

Jonathan is my direct line. He is living with Martha and Joseph Rushworth on the 1841 census .

1841 England Census
about Jonathan Rushworth
Name: Jonathan Rushworth
Age: 15
Estimated birth year: abt 1826
Gender: Male
Where born: Yorkshire, England

Civil parish: Leeds Town
Hundred: Leeds Borough
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England

Street Address:

Occupation: View image

Registration district: Leeds
Sub-registration district: Leeds North
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Joseph Rushworth 20
Martha Rushworth 25
Jonathan Rushworth 15

Because of their approximate ages I would say they are brother, sister and brother.

I thought Joseph married Eliza but the marriage cert has come back wrong.

Jonathans marriage cert says his father is a cloth dresser and was called Joseph.

I am trying to find out who Jonathans mother was. and I am not having any sucess.

Someone in the past said the parents were Joseph and Ann Rushworth. Ann died in 1839 if I remember correctly. Unfortunately i do not know where this info came from.

All the best

WHO is Jonathan?

When and where was he born?

You haven't explained where you got the name MARIA

And I suspect you're guessing about the year and place of Joseph's birth

Hi I have just eliminated that family becasue Joseph was at home with his brother JOnathan and sister Martha on the 1841.

The Joseph who married Eliza married in 1840 so he could not have been at home in 41

There was another Joseph who married Elizabeth in 1839 but that is wrong too.

Jonathan married in 1850 and I do not know what happend to Joseph. I cant find out what happend to Martha at the moment either.

As I do not have the children with their parents on any census I have no idea who they are. All I know is that their father was Joseph. This was from JOnathans marriage cert. It doesnt say he is deceased so he could be alive in 1850.

Thanks for your help
