Thanks Andy and Dea. He didn't marry Elizabeth Sutclife as his dads name was Joseph. I thought it was possibly her too.

I'm not sure about Elizabeth Eastwood. I may have to send for that one.

Thanks again for your help

Thanks Gins that's him. So he wasn't living next door then.

all the best

Jane

Thanks Gins that my Jonathan's marriage.

I don't think that's my Joseph on the 1841. I haven't got an Elizabeth on my tree. However having said that there is a big age gap between Jonathan b 1826 and Joseph b 1819 so there could be children I do not know about.

Thanks
Jane

On the 1841, I was looking at Eliza as the wife of Joseph not the sister as, it that is their correct marriage to Elizabeth Eastwood, they would have already been married on 1841 !

Dea x

Sorry I misunderstood. So it looks as if I should send for that marriage and hopefully it will come back as mine.

All the best

jane

Well, I think it is worth a try ?? - Note that the address on 1841 is Boynton St. which is the same as 'your' family on the 1851 and 1861.

Hello

I have just been through my records and have just found something really interesting. I have found the marriage for Jospeph and Elizabeth Eastwood and it was not them. However I have just found a birth cert for an Eliza Rushworth b 9/5/1850 ,which I had dismissed as not being mine, and they were living at 12 Boynton Street Leeds. This means that she is mine and that Joseph married Eliza Anderson. So now I need to find this marriage. Its so exciting when you get a break through.

Thanks so much for all your help

Jane

This is 'that' Marriage:

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1840
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
RUSHWORTH Joseph ANDERSON Eliza St Peter, Leeds Leeds CE46/9/236

So, I still think that the 1841 is correct for 'your' Joseph.

Dea x

Thanks Dea you could well be right. its strange that marriage does not show on FreebMD. How would I go about ordering that cert?

Thanks so much

Jane

Note that there is a Martha Anderson with them in 1841 aged 45 (her mother???)

Also next door is a William Anderson (75) and Hannah (70) - Her grandparents ???
