Please can anyone shed some light upon this marriage? My ancestor Jane Denton was born in Oct 1847 in Sandal, Wakefield. The Birth Certificate is quite legible and states that her father was George Denton, and her mother Martha Denton, nee Day.
I can't find any record of a marriage, and Jane is not present in the 1841 Census anywhere in England, and only doubtfully present in 1861 Census--but she did live to marry in 1865 (confirming YOB and Father's name George), and of course she had offspring.
Anyone have any ideas please??
from Helix 14.

Thank you. Reggie, Glitterbaby and Mike. Your findings are very useful. I suppose Jane must have been missed off the 1851 Census, lost in the crowd of siblings?
How did you find the pre-GRO data (for future reference) please?
Many thanks.
From Helix14.

For pre 1837 registration look for parish records in

Not all parish records are included though

This is maybe why she isn't on the census!

Who did your Jane marry?

Mike *

Mike * Report 7 Jul 2012 14:25


There are 2 births for Jane Denton in Wakefield area

The Jane born to George and Martha must be the one that died which is why she's not on 1851 census.

Could your Jane be the one born Ecclesfield ?

As this thread is marked as answered ... and I'm not at all confident about it , I've sent a PM asking for more info about Jane's marriage




I suspect this may be the marriage of Jane's parents

Astra Report 7 Jul 2012 19:41

The marriage to Henry Lodge in Barnsley in 1865 is the one I checked out earlier. It seems to meet all of the criteria. It's just that Helix is following the wrong Jane and it would be a shame for him to continue adding family to his tree which are incorrect. Good idea to send him a PM as he hasn't returned to the thread.

Mike * Report 8 Jul 2012 00:48

My guess is that Jane's marriage cert to Mr Lodge states her father as George, and Helix has plumped for the wrong George. and bought the wrong birth cert for Jane.

The PM is still unopened

please remove the tick from that posting by Mike


Your question has NOT been answered, but the tick is showing, and that identifies this thread as being complete.

Thus people will no longer open it.



Thank you
