Ann Report 23 Jan 2012 14:49

Think I just solved my problem

May have the wrong entry for the 1881 Census

Ann

Ann Report 23 Jan 2012 14:47

Hi

I am looking for Stephen James b: 1826 Burton inKendal, Westmorland the son of Richard James b:1749 Wharton, Lancashire and Jane Rennison b:1803
1881 Census shows - Stephen James Age 55y living Blea Cot Farm Witherslack, Westmorland with his Daughter Elizabeth

Who's Henry?

Potty

Potty Report 23 Jan 2012 14:40

Sorry, Ann. I read your original posting as - Henry with daughter Elizabeth in 1881 was the son of Richard!

Ann

Ann Report 23 Jan 2012 14:38

Stephen James b:1825 and Sarah Atkinson had dau called Elizabeth

Ann

Ann Report 23 Jan 2012 14:33

Hi

Stephen James b:1825 married Sarha Atkinson b:1817
Stephen was the son of James James and Ann Fairclough
Stephen had a sistaer Ann b:1837 she married James Bell

Richard James and Jane Rennison had also a son call Stephen b:1826
he hadn't a sister call Ann

Potty

Potty Report 23 Jan 2012 14:31

Yes, Ann, we realise that but which Stephen is the one with the daughter Elizabeth? As Richard's son Stephen was living with his mother in 1851, then it would appear to be James's son. Stephen and Sarah Atkinson's marriage cert would confirm it.

Yes, The Stephen married to Sarah in the 1851 has a sister Ann with them, who may well be the Ann with James and Ann in 1841.

Potty

Potty Report 23 Jan 2012 14:08

I agree, Stuart. I think Ann needs to get Stephen's marriage cert.

If your Stephen is the son of Richard and Jane then it isn't him in the 1851 etc married to Sarah as Stephen s/o Richard appears to be at home with mother Jane in 1851
