Hi Margaret. Not sure if you are only interested in present day or in Ancestry. If the latter, then I hope the following will fill in gaps in your family tree.

You have the 1891 when George Martin Atkinson and his family were at the Commercial Inn.

1881.
George M. 29. Born Allerton by Water. Living Castleford. Coal Miner
Elizabeth 27. Born Mexborough.
Susan E 7 Born Castleford
Florence Ada. 4. Born Castleford
Elizabeth 1 Born Castleford.

1871. Angel Inn. Methley..Yorks
Samuel 47. Inn Keeper and Farmer.
Elizabeth. 40 Born Atherton
George M. 20. Coal Miner. Born Methley
John H. 19. Born Methley
Lucy 16. Born Allerton
William. 14. Born Allerton
Mary Ellen. 10. Born Allerton
Margaret E 11 Months. Born Allerton.

1861 census
Samuel. 38. Innkeeper
Elizabeth 30
George M. 10
John Henry 8
Lucyt 6
William. 4.

1851 census
Samuel. 28. Butcher./ Born Methley
Elizabeth 21
Sarah Ann 2
George Martin. 10 Months.
Henry. 30. Brother. Butcher.

Marriage of Samuel Atkinson. to Elizabeth Tillison. 1848. Jan/March Qtr. reg in Leeds. vol 23.348.

Births.
George Martin Tillison Atkinson. 1850. April/June Qtr. reg in Pontefracrt. vol 22. 514.
John Henry. 1853. April/June Qtr. reg in Tadcaster. vol 9c 469
Lucy. 1854.. April/June Qtr. Tadcaster. vol 9c 525
William. 1858 April/June Qtr. reg in Tadcaster. vol 9c 524
Margaret Elizabeth 1870. April/June Qtr. reg in Tadcaster. vol 9c 683

Could not be sure of Mary Ellen. Found a Mary Eliza, but not sure about it.

With a copy of the marriage certificate for Samuel and Elizabeth you will get their ages, their Father's names and occupations, and witnesses who may be siblings.

I hope this is what you wanted. Ethel.
