I am trying to trace these two ancestors of mine. I have John Thomspn being born c1826 in Yorkshire and dying in 1871 and Bynthnia/Bythnia Booth being born c1829 again in Yorkshire and dying in 1867. I don't have a marriage date for them but the first of their 10 children was born c1852. I have found some of the children and John's second wife (who is not my direct ancestor) on the 1881 census but I cannot seem to find the family on an earlier census. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you give details of their children, when and where born?

This will help in the search for them.
