Could some kind person please look up William Dean born 1821 Yorkshire.Have him on 1861,71,81,91,1901.His parents were Samuel Dean and Margaret Dean nee Cox. Thanks in advance Julie

Hi Julie Where was he born? Can you post 1861 details please Gina

Hi if you tell me where he was from in Yorkshire may be able to help Nic

Hi He was born in York.Baptism was St Marys Castlegate York on21/7/1821.Was wondering address and if there were any siblings. In 1861 he is with wife Caroline who he married in 1853. Julie

The 1841 census does not tell you much only householders. there is a samuel b abt 1800 married to Margaret b abt 1800 and 1 daughter Ester b abt 1826 (16 years old) This could have been his sister? Was William married in 1841 as he is not on the 1841 census with his mother & father? Nic

Hi Nic As far as I know he wasn't married in 1841.I just know of his marriage to Caroline Lenton in 1853.He was a mariner.Do you think he could of been at sea,as I can not find him any where in 1851 either. Thanks Julie

Yes he could have been that might explain why he's not in 1841 & 1851? Nic

Nic Thank you very much for your help.At least I now know he had a sister. Julie

Julie, on 1851 census I have found Samuel living in York with his daughter ester & his sister Martha Dean born 1788 in Wickham Buchinghamshire??? Margaret, William's mother must have died between 1841 & 1851? So Samuel had a sister also if this is the right one? He also was born in Buckinghamshire? Hope its the right one Nic

Nic Thats great to find Samuel had a sister. Margaret died Sept 1850.Very helpful people at York cemetery gave me the details. Thank you so much Julie

Julie, No problem at all, glad i could help. Esher must have got married after 1851 census as i cant find her on 1861 This is the trouble tracing your family on the female side.......... they get married!!!! Nic

Nic Yes your right it is a problem when they get married,should just keep the name they were babtised with,it would make our job so much easier. I'm going to see if I can find Esther marriage,as I don't think she died.Well not in York any way. Thank you again for your help. Julie

I have looked on the Royal Navy records for William Dean but only come up with a William Dean born 1799 If it is a relation it could be Samuel's brother?? only a guess though as it doesn't say where he was born or anything!

Nic Thanks for looking that up for me.I don't know as yet if Samuel had any brothers, I only know of the sister you found for me. I do know that both Samuel and his son William were both mariners Julie

Ah well - o hope it is but cant be sure Good luck with the rest of your search Nic

Thanks Nic. You have given me alot to work on. Julie
