Problem is that there are quite a few possible deaths for a Hannah Simpson although not found one for a Ruth Simpson in the right time frame

Frances Report 8 Aug 2011 17:07

Great. My Ann Husker in IGI is christened Knareborough 1833 with parents Robert and Jane and there is a brother Richard in 1830

Either the 1833 is a mistranscription or they had a later Hannah who isn't transcribed

Frances

Frances Report 8 Aug 2011 17:12

So Barbara your death for Hannah Simpson, born 1834, seems to give a match if her age in the 1851 census is faulty?

This is Emilys piece of the marriage to Robinson


Name: Hannah Husker
Birth Year: abt 1837 *****
Age: 22 *******
Marriage or Bann Date: 14 Aug 1859
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Father's name: Robert Husker
Spouse's Name: Robinson Simpson
Spouse's Father's Name: Joseph Simpson


I think Glitter Baby is right on the 1851 census--i have looked for her baptism on West Yorkshire Records-- can't find one. Will take another look , it may be mistranscribed.

Hi Frances
The Ann you found in IGI is on the 1841 census ---

This is a Banns record which i think is for Robert and Jane so no other info with it !!

Name: Robert Husker
Marriage or Bann Date: 23 Nov 1828
Parish: Spofforth, All Saints
Spouse's Name: Jane Brown


Banns were called on 9th 16th and 23rd November but no marriage transcribed as yet

LOL Frances, if you find any more Robinsons we might turn up related !!

My Great Great Grandfather was born in Castleford, but came to work on the Fitzwilliam estate in Wentworth. (Nr Rotherham) before 1841 census.

Well, I don't seem to be able to find Hannahs Baptism / Christening records sorry Frances.
