Rosemary, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I do not know who was living at this address. My great grandmother (born and raised in Manchester) produced her illegitimate son there in 1880. By 1881 she was back in Manchester, so I was trying to determine whether she had been 'sent away' to relatives I know nothing of to have the baby. Just thought it may give me another lead. Regards, Sue

It isn't the same family at no 26 on the 1881. The ones who were there in 1871 have moved a few doors further up to 32 Elm Street - which handily means I can find the details for no 26 Michael EDEN Head M Male 60 Rigder, York, England Farm Labourer (Unemployed) Mary EDEN Wife M Female 54 Dublin, Ireland Thomas EDEN Son U Male 23 Riyder, York, England Railway Platelayer Jane EDEN Daur U Female 26 Rigter, York, England Back Minder (Flax Mill) Sarah Ann EDEN Daur U Female 22 Riyder, York, England Back Minder (Flax Mill) Hannah EDEN Daur U Female 19 Rigter, York, England Back Minder (Flax Mill) Mary Ellen EDEN Daur U Female 15 Riyder, York, England Scholar Sarah E.

Sue Living at 26 Elm Street Leeds in 1881 are Michael and Mary Eden and family. You should be able to trace them on the LDS or Ancestry site. In case you are wondering I have the discs which makes address searches quite easy. Hope it helps. Susan

Jools and Matt, Many thanks. The names don't ring an immediate bell, but I will do a bit more delving to see if I can find a connection. Thank you both. Sue

Sue - I've checked the image - the ones born Riyder or Rigter - the place of birth is Ryther - it is near Selby.
