Dear Marie Celeste, Thank you, I am sure this is he, my husbands 3x gt Grandfather. Very Grateful for your help. Margaret

Children Robert, Barbara and William seem to be scattered across both families.

Dear Marie Celeste, On looking again dates dont quite match on Robert, could you telll me who else you found please. Margaret

Margaret - they're both posted above.

Bear in mind that ages in the 1841 were usually rounded down so Robert could actually have been 20 to 25.

Do you have them for definite in the 1851?

Marie Celeste, I think the Robert and Ann one is correct after all, no I don't have the 1851 census. Thanks again Margaret

You're welcome Margaret.

What else do you know about Robert? Can then see if there are any other records to verify. Is he the line you are following?

Hi, I know Robert was my husbands 2xGt Grandfather,he was a shoe maker. I was trying to get further back to find his parents and Grandparents, difficult isn't it, I wanted to know Ann's (Williams wife) surname. Also I think William's father was another William,possibly married to a Mary. Thanks Margaret

Margaret, who did Robert marry? Where and when?

(It's handy to use as a reference point for us to work back from).

Marie Celeste, Robert married about 1824 to Elizabeth Cornforth, they had two children Elizabeth Ann born 1824, and Charles (my Husbands Gt Grandfather).1844. Elizabeth died, and Robert married a Jane Haw, not sure when, but fairly quickly their first child Violetta born 1846.
Does this help at all. Margaret

Terribly sorry Marie celeste, I have put down wrong dates Robert married Elizabeth 1842, Elizabeth Ann born 1843 Charles 1844

Just posting 1851 as a reference:

CHAPMAN, Robart Head Married M 32 1819 Showmaker Hawnby, Yorkshire
CHAPMAN, Jane Wife Married F 28 1823 Boltby, Yorkshire
CHAPMAN, Ann Daughter F 8 1843 Hawnby, Yorkshire
CHAPMAN, William Son M 2 1849 Hawnby, Yorkshire
CHAPMAN, Vilot Daughter F 5 1846 Hawnby, Yorkshire
TAYLOR, Elizabath Niece F 13 1838 Knaton, Yorkshire
ABBOTT, Frances Aprentice Unmarried M 19 1832 Show Maker Apprentice Hawnby, Yorkshire

There doesn't seem to be a Charles with them?

I believe Charles spent some time with his step Grandparents, and he eventually moved away first to Newcastle where he became a journalist. thenmoved to Barnard Castle Yorkshire, where he married.
Thank You Margaret

EDIT: Perhaps not, I think Hawes and Hawnby are about 50 miles apart from Google.

I don't think so, they are a distant away, and I have heard the name calvert in the Family. Will look though. Thanks Margaret
