I am confused!

Are you saying that there are two Samuel's one with the father Benjamin and the other with the father Jonas?

Theres no sign of a Samuel with a father Jonas

Hi
This Samuel is the son of Benjamin Brearley 1802 and Martha Helliwell.
I have his marriage certificate in 1862.He married a Sarah Ann Marsden in Ecclesfield Yorkshire. The marriage certificate gives his father as Benjamin.

This is where I went wrong in the first place. I married this Samuel off to Mary Jones on my tree and am now trying to correct the error.

Incidentally, the Benjamin Brearley 1802 above is the brother of Jonas Brearley 1818

The only way to confirm who his parents were is to buy his birth certificate

OldYorkshireBloke Report 8 May 2011 10:47

I am trying to confirm a paternal link, if there is one, between a Samuel Brearley c1841 and a Jonas Brearley born in 1818 in Penistone Yorkshire England, parents Benjamin Brearley and Lydia Holmes.

I have the marriage certificate of Samuel Brearley - wife Mary Jones date 11 April 1861 Marriage in St Peter Chester England. Samuel states his father to be Jonas Brearley – stone mason.

On the 1871 census Samuel is living with his wife and four children in Flint, and his age is given as 31 therefore born c1840, birthplace is given as Sheffield Yorkshire.

On Family Search.org there are marriage records for a Jonas Brearley and Mary Stueart 19th October 1846 St Oswalds Chester. His age is given as 30 Marital status single Father Benjamin Brearley. His wife’s age is given as 40 and her status widow. From this record she does not appear to be Samuel’s mother.

There are 1841 census records for –
a Samuel Brearley age 1 in Sheffield with an Ann Brearley age 26?
A Jonas Brearley age 25 in St Nicholas Newport Lincolnshire occupation stone mason

I cannot find any other records for Jonas or for his wife Mary.

Any help would be very much appreciated
