Remember it was not compulsory to register births until 1875

Thanks Margee

Yes thats them. If the Walker children are not on the 1861 census then it could be the two I'm looking for.

thanks for looking.

All the best

Can't find them on the 1861 census.
Is this John & Hannah's marriage?

I have two children Mary ann Gray born 1856 in Rawcliffe Yorkshire and ? brother James Gray born 1858 in Rawcliffe Yorkshire. Parents are supposedly JOhn Gray and Hannah Walker. I have been looking for their birth records for many Years and have come to the conclussion that they are probably adopted.

Strangely enough I have just found a Mary ann Walker born Sept 1856 in York and a James Walker born June 1858 in York. Could these be the two children I am looking for. Hannah Walker had a lot of brothers and sisters so she could have been taking care of them for one of them.

The porblem is how do I establish who the parents of Mary Ann and James Walker are. They were born between census years so the census aren't going to help me unless I can find them both living with Walker parents and then I can eliminate them from my enquiries.

Any suggestions where I go from here?.

There were a couple of Gray children born about the right time and in the right area but they came back wrong parents.

Thanks for helping

Jane
