Please confirm that you have looked for deaths and marriages

BTW, 1841 does not record relationships, so, unless you have other proof, you can't assume that the children belong to James, or that Mary is his wife.

Also, ages of over-15's were rounded down to the nearest '5'

How did you work back to them if you haven't found them in later years?

Is this the birth registration of the youngest child on the record?

Good census finds, malyon

Where did you look, Terence?

Terence

Terence Report 22 May 2020 16:59

I knew of a Marriage of Thomas Allison(b.Richmond,Yorks.) to Elizabeth Liddle c.1858 in Co.Durham and the family moved to America.Elizabeth was the daughter of my G.G.G'Father.That was why I tried to search for the Allison Family out of interest.

Do you have the marriage cert?

It would have been helpful if you'd told us that you had info on Joseph AFTER 1841

Terence

I don't have info' on Joseph after 1841.

ErikaH Report 22 May 2020 19:57

Oops! Meant to say Thomas

BUT.....you did have info on one of them although you said you didn’t.

Have you any definitive reason to think the Thomas who married Liddle is the one on 1841 census? Info from marriage cert, for instance?

Any comments on the info posted????

Unfortunately there's no image to view on Ancestry.
You need the marriage cert to see if it names his father.

Certainly his age matches the one in 1841, and 1861 says he was born in Richmond.
