Hi all. Being good and obeying the rules I am using this old Checkley thread to ask for the 1841 census for Job Checkley who was born in 1829 in:-

Name: Job Checkley
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 19 Jan 1829
Christening Place: NAPTON ON THE HILL,WARWICK,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Job Checkley

Mother's Name: Eleanor

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C04659-1 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 502292

I believe he has a son Charles in 1842 but I cannot find a marriage for Job in FreeBMD or FamilySearch and wonder if he has a wife by 1841 please?

Many thanks,
Frances

I did look for them in FreeBMD but didn;t realize they were in Leeds at that time nor their precise dates. So a big thankyou for everything you have found.

As again you have hit the nail on the head and Francis Henry was born in Cork but the family then returned for the later children.

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 21 Nov 2014 16:09

Look for births for the names you give

How did you work back to these people?

Do you have any factual info about children.......or is it all hearsay?

Charles' occupation on his Marriage Certificate was Sergeant this being the case and if he was still in the Army in 1881 census he and his family could be overseas......just a thought
