Hi
I've got a Elizabeth Wood who marries a William Wood 1842 Elizabeth was living on Camp Road in the parish of Leeds father was David
I've got David's 1841 census and Elizabeth isn't there.
She could be living with a Daughter Mary A Wood born 1840
I know I won't be able to find out if William is the father Their is one with no MMN think it was 1838?
,
But just wondering who she is living with, in Camp Road and if it will tell me anything

William was living at Hope street when they married Father Benjamin but they aren't related as such

Sorry but it’s all a bit urhhh to understand

So
Presume you have the marriage certs for father’s names and occupations ?

And further census will give approx ages


How have you got back to them ?

Are they definitely a couple and not siblings?

Marriages Jun 1842
ATKINSON Martha Leeds 23 338
CHARLESWORTH Benjamin Leeds 23 338
CLARKSON Thomas Leeds 23 338
FLOCKTON John Leeds 23 338
MARSHALL Harriet Leeds 23 338
SNOWBALL Isabella Leeds 23 338
WOOD Elizabeth Leeds 23 338
WOOD William Leeds 23 338

I've got all the censuses
I'm trying to expand my tree And I notice this family That they had a daughter before they married all I would like to know if possible is who was living on Camp Road with Elizabeth Wood

Yes I have the Marriage

You mention a daughter Mary Ann Wood, born 1840.

Where do you think she was born? It wasn't in Leeds, anyway.

There's one Mary Wood (no middle name), born in Leeds with no mmn stated - but not until late 1841 - after the census.

:-S Just because she was living in Camp Street when she married in 1842 doesn’t mean she was living there in 1841.

I know it's just a Possibility she might have
!851 census says she was born on Leeds but I've looked for births in Yorkshire

Posting for helpers' reference:

You know that there were no penalties for not registering births until 1875.

It would help us to help you if you posted the 1851 census.........you obviously have access to it

Is this the David you've decided is her father?
At least he's a joiner.

Please, can you post the 1851 census you've found for Elizabeth, born in Leeds?

How old was she?
I don't see any Elizabeth Wood in Leeds in 1851 with a husband who is a cabinet maker.

There's one born in South Stainley in 1806, whose husband William is a joiner, but she seems too old to be the one you mean?.
