Hi, I'm trying to help someone here in Australia to locate her ancestors in the 1841 and/or 1851 Census. They are THOMAS LISTER & MARGARET PROCTER. The details I have been given are they married c.1841, two children, Thomas & John. I have found this info so far: They married 6th January 1842 (info from IGI) at Long Prseton in Yorkshire. I believe I have found Margaret in 1861 as a widow with her son, John (who was born Addingham 1844). They were in Leeds. I have also found possible 2nd son in the IGI, Thomas, b. c1842. What we are trying to find out are their parents names (1841) but most of all their AGES to try to locate their birth details & to search in other census returns. So far I only have possible entries in 1861 & 1881. If the Margaret I have found in the 1861 census is correct she was born Long Preston, c.1811. I'm hoping she will order the marriage certificate for which I have given her details, but any help anyone could give me would be really gratefully received. I hate brick walls!! Thanks so much, Lisa in Oz.
