You have picked up correctly the family that I found but the only link is the birth year of 1806

Thank you Shirley, unfortunately although I have found Hannah with two Children in the Hull area in the 1851 I have never found the records for 1841 and Charles died in 1848

Marriage records for those times didn’t give any parents names or place of birth etc

Don’t think they gave the age of the parties either

Have you found them on any later census
