Will have a close look when have concentration time, Records are further away from Lancaster but you can see the move from country to bigger towns as time goes on can't you. Glad you're around Maddie - everyone else must be busy ;-)

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	Maddie, apologies for not coming back to you yesterday, just one of those days. Thanks for your info. Anyone else like to wade in? Do you think that John and Richard Sandham are brothers and sons of Benjamin. All end up in Skerton/Lancaster. The other John baptised same place, same year, was perhaps a cousin? Will be looking around myself, but can you or anyone else take the lines back any further please. If we think that John Sandham 1795 is son of Benjamin and his wife Ellen Pye, then back through them. Also the Thomas Redhead b 1829, s/o Thomas and Ann ? Buttle md 27.7.1826 St Mary's Lancaster, can they be taken back further? Thomas said to be of Skerton and Ann OTP at marriage Thomas and Ann 1851- (son Thomas 1829 off being a Miller elsewhere) 1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Main Street, Sherton, Lancaster, Lancashire, England (SKERTON not Sherton or Sheraton) First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place Thomas Redhead Head Married Male 42 1809 Labourer Sheraton, Lancashire, England Ann Redhead Wife Married Female 43 1808 - Lancaster, Lancashire, England Betsy Redhead Daughter Unmarried Female 22 1829 Dress maker Sheraton, Lancashire, England William Redhead Son Unmarried Male 17 1834 App joiner Sheraton, Lancashire, England Mary Redhead Daughter Unmarried Female 15 1836 Cotton weaver Sheraton, Lancashire, England John Redhead Son - Male 12 1839 Scholar Sheraton, Lancashire, England Ellen Redhead Daughter - Female 10 1841 Scholar Sheraton, Lancashire, England Robert Redhead Son - Male 7 1844 Scholar Sheraton, Lancashire, England Eliza Redhead Daughter - Female 5 1846 Scholar Sheraton, Lancashire, England Susannah Redhead Daughter - Female 3 1848 Scholar Sheraton, Lancashire, England Thanks

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	I think John and Richard Sandham may be brothers as the 1851 census has them both born at Ellel and there are baptisms1795 and 1796 at Christ Church, Over Wyersdale which would fit - sons of Benjamin and Ellen. Complicated of course by the baptism 1796 same place of another John Sandham, but s/o Richard and Ellen. There is a John in Ellel in 1851 a Farmer So many children with the same names ........

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	Maddie thank you. I'm with you for the 1861-1891 census, but in 1851 ? - Main Street, Skerton Thomas Redhead 42 Labourer b Skerton Ann 43 Children Betsy, Wm, Mary, John, Ellen, Robert, Eliza and Susannah aged 22 - 3 and at Heaton village with the Farrington family Thomas Redhead age 22 Servant. Miller At 1856 marriage Thomas is said to be a Miller and son of Thomas. There were 2 Thomas Redhead baptisms 1829 - s/o Thomas and Ann and 1832 - s/o William and Ann - the one you have in 1851 I think ?? Looking at that 1879 marriage, now I've found the original Thomas is a Widower and an Overlooker, if the right man he has taken a couple of years off his age. His Father Thomas is the Toll collector - again if right man, Father is a Labourer 1871 and 1881. But the census fit otherwise.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	Your help would be much appreciated please. If I put any more info up then it will probably confuse even more. I come in with the following marriage and the Redhead's are the last section of a big tree for a friend Wm Hy Cowperthwaite married Annie Redhead 3.8.1879 at St Luke's, Skerton, Lancaster. She is 20 and d/o Thomas Redhead an Overlooker at the Mill. William has parents Wm and Mary, no siblings and G/parents John / Agnes Cowperthwaite and Henry / Mary Hudson. 1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census Back Street, Ingleton, Settle, Yorkshire & Yorkshire (West Riding), England First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place William Cowperthwate Head Married Male 23 1858 Railway fireman Skerton, Lancashire Alice Cowperthwate Wife Married Female 22 1859 Housewife Skerton, Lancashire Elizabeth Cowperthwate Daughter Single Female 0 1881 - Skerton, Lancashire No idea why Alice but Annie in following census From Lancs, via Yorks and Derbys they end up in Nottingham by 1901 with children Elizabeth, Agnes, William, John, Charles, Annie and Mary (Mary is my friends Grandmother) That's the background. I'm trying to go backwards with Annie's parents. I like to follow each parent from birth/baptism to death and record siblings birth/baptisms. There is a baptism of an Ann Sandham Redhead 24.10.1858 also at St Luke's, d/o Thomas a Miller and Elizabeth of Skerton Is this the right Ann? and a marriage in 1856 at Lancaster of a Thomas Redhead age 27 a Miller of Skerton s/o Thomas to Elizabeth Sandham age 24 of Lancaster d/o John Sandham Labourer This Thomas born c 1829 Skerton. 1861 census - Main Street, Skerton Thomas Redhead 31 1830 Miller b Skerton Elizabeth Redhead 28 1833 Dressmaker b Skerton Ann Sandham Redhead 2 1859 b Skerton Did he really marry 3 women by the surname of Sandham and in quick succession? 1. Elizabeth 1856, died 1862 (Child Ann0 2. as a widower to Mary in 1863, she died 1879 d/o Richard a wool comber. Children Sarah Alice, James and Betsy 1871 - Main St, Skerton with Mary, Ann and above 3 children 3. Ellen Bennett nee Sandham 1879, Keithley RD Yorks (possibly sister of Mary - first marr. to Hy Bennett 1859 Lancaster names her Father as Richard). Ellen died 1891 (4. and by 1893 Thomas has remarried to Sarah Leak Doyle in Lancaster) 1881/1891 - Lancaster with Ellen, Sarah A, James, Betsy and 1901 Lancaster with wife Sarah. Thomas dies 1905 Starting to lose the plot at this point and Ancestry trees are not very helpful Thomas 1829 ? bap. 3.5.1829 Lancaster s/o Thomas and Ann ?Buttle married 1826 Lancaster Elizabeth c1832 d/o John Sandham and Elizabeth?
