I have him on 1841 Census.

I have looked for their deaths - not found them but I could have missed them or they could have died in another area.

Which census do you have him on?

Hi, I have just received a birth certificate for William. This shows that his parents were Thomas Metcalfe and Bessy Woods. This is not what I expected to see as their names have never come up on census returns with William. The only census returns I have found, show William living with his grandparents Richard Metcalfe and Mary in Ripon, along with his older sisters - Margaret, Mary and Jane. I thought, wrongly, that william was illegitimate.

However, I now have the problem that I can not find any census records for Thomas and Mary. I am wondering what happened to them and why William was brought up with his grandparents.

Any help would be much appreciated.
