Yes, one thread per name is better especially if you get into difficulty.

Peter it looks as if you're new at this because it's unusual to go forward from people. The family history rule is to work back from what is known - yourself, parents, grandparents, etc. However you may be checking on siblings.

Not criticising, just trying to help.

1881 is free........so why not start there?

www.familysearch.org

And, personally, I would rather see one thread per name..........it could get very messy with postings relating to multiple family names.

As I said, that would be my preference.......others may not see it the same way.............

Hello,

I am looking for some family in the census, and I thought I would post the people I am interested on here. I am looking for the individuals in the census after they married.

Thomas Hogg, and his wife Ann. Thomas was born in 1832 in South Otterington, Yorkshire. He married in Thirsk in 1855.

Jane Gatenby, the wife of Christopher Gatenby married in Dec 1857 in Thirsk. She was born in 1835 in South Otterington, Yorkshire.

Fanny Myers, the wife of Charles Myers, who was a plumber. She married in Mar 1861 in Thirsk. She was born in 1837 in Newby Wiske, Yorkshire.

Mary Kettlewell, the wife of John, who married in Mar 1861 in Thirsk. She was born in 1839 in Newby Wiske.

Ann Crossley, the wife of William Crossley. She was bon in 1843 in Newby Wiske.

Margaret Earle, the wife of John W. Earle, who married in 1872. She was born in 1848, and John was a cabinet maker.

Thank you for your help. I understand there is a lot here but I thought it best to include everything here than having smaller threads.

Best wishes,

Peter
