Thanks for all the help, it's appreciated.
Stephen and Ann are the biggest puzzle, so anything's helpful.
I think that Ann and Sophia must be the same person, just wonder why the change in name.
I found Thomas Cranswick's marriage to Jane Skelton in 1797, and believe I found his birth c1774.

Elizabeth Cranswick/Howgate's baptism aged about 15
West Yorkshire Births & Baptisms.


Sophia Cranswick
Birth Date: 12 Aug 1803
Parish: Leeds, St Peter (Leeds Parish Church)
Baptism Date: 2 Nov 1818
Father's name: Thomas Cranswick
Mother's name: Jane Cranswick

Thomas was a bricklayer. Address given just as High Street.

Could she have been baptised twice, see above???

I wonder if Sophia and Ann could be the same person!!

I can't find out any more on Stephen senior or Ann but I will keep looking

Wendy

I think the name spelt 'Lamerdel' on the aboe 1841 census COULD be Samuel

Hi, Thanks for all this info, it's been really useful, and tied up a few loose ends.
I still don't understand why the marriage to Stephen Labron is Sophia Cranswick, when his wife is Ann. I can't find anything about Ann's birth/christening.
And anything on Stephen Snr's birth would be great.
Thanks!

I think this is Ann's parents in 1841. Her father was Thomas, a bricklayer as per marriage. This census for Holbeck fits in. I can't read the name of the person living with him but probably his son. Also I think Sophia 1818 (re Astra) was his daughter, Ann's sister.

Stephen is not shown as deceased

The children are scattered in 1851. Young Stephen is in the workhouse and this looks like William and Elizabeth with the Thomas Cranswick from the 1841. They are noted as Brother and Sister so i am assuming that Ann had been married before and Thomas was her son
