Just reread and if fathers name is Charles then this can't be correct. Sorry!

Hi yes it is Askrigg in Wensleydale, Have found him on all of the later census records but nothing before 1851. thankyou for all the help and advice will keep looking and searching. I have seen a copy of the marrige certificate with fathers name on as Charles but forgot to look at his occupation.Cant find Charles on any of the census records either. They are a real mystery.

Sorry to those who have had their info deleted I replied on the wrong tab and it went to the abuse department. I have sent message to appologise for doing things wrong. This is the first time I have ever posted message and replied. So would like to say sorry if I have offended anyone. My mistake.
