Find Ancestors

As Maureen was originally looking for Joseph's parents, I wonder if this is him with his mother Elizabeth in 1841?

Elizabeth and John listed as born in county, the rest as born in Ireland (pinch of salt??)
An Ancestry member has corrected the "I" for Ireland , saying that it's actually a Y, meaning born in county. I must say it looks like a I to me, and is in the "Scotland, Ireland or Foreign Parts" column, whereas other entries on the same page are clearly listed as Y or N in the "Born in County" column, and the Y's don't look like the I.

(Sent PM to let Maureen know she has replies)

Looks good, ArgyllGran! Hope Maureen doesn't wait another 6 years before she responds.

This is Ancestry's version of the 1861 which PollyPoppet posted. The Holdsworths are listed as a separate household, but at the same address:

Enock Holdsworth

in the 1861 England Census
Name: Enock Holdsworth
Age: 23
Estimated Birth Year: 1838

William Blackburn 10 - I think the image says 14, corrected from 10.
Jane Blackburn 10
James Blackburn 7
Elizabeth Blackburn 2/12
Ellen Holdsworth 13 - daughter-in-law, unmarried (d-in-l sometimes meant stepdaughter)
Enock Holdsworth 23 - lodger
Sarah Holdsworth 22 - lodger's wife
Elizabeth Holdsworth 1 - lodger's daughter.

In 1851 census, Sarah's a power loom weaver, born Horton 1817.

I'm wondering about this girl, a power loom weaver born Horton c1816, with son Enoch born 1838 Horton.

Can't see any marriage to Joseph, though.

Enoch's birth:
Births Sep 1837 (>99%)
Holdsworth Enoch Bradford 23 103

Don't see a birth for an Enoch Blackburn in Bradford district.

Yes you're right, Gins, wrong couple. Also Sarah is older than Joseph on the censuses but younger on that marriage record.

Margee

That 1840 marriage is in Cudworth, Barnsley. Joseph is listed as a farmer and on the censuses he is a cloth dresser or something like that!

As far as I know, PollyPoppet is a helper and is still posting

I'm sure she'll see the thread

Yes, Maureen's the OP - just thought she might want to contact Polly!

That 1840 marriage doesn't look like the right one.
I think this is that Royston couple in 1861:

Isnt the OP Maureen and she has come back after 6 years

Edit: Wrong couple.

There's a marriage in 1840 of Joseph Blackburn & Sarah Blackburn. Both fathers seem to be Henry although her father was transcribed as Mary. His father is deceased, hers a blacksmith.

Maureen -
as it's 6 years since Polly posted that, she's not likelyu to be looking for replies here now, I'm afraid.

You can try sending her a personal message (click on her name at the top of her post).
If she still has the same email address, GR will notify her that she has a message from you.

However, re Sarah - I know it's her maiden name you want, but as a start

here she is in 1851:
