Member Since: December 2011 Posts: 76 Send Message	Hi . I am having trouble finding my maternal ancestors.Is any one able to help please? This is the info I have already: 3xGt.Grand. James Owen b. c1819 Bradley, Staffs. d. 1877 f.James m. Hannah Hawkins b.c1821 in June 1841. d. 1888.f.Robert. Father James occupation Labourer. Not sure after that. I have found a James Owen b.c1796 Bradley m. Hannah ? in the 1851/61 census and also a John Owen b.c1772 Bradley m. Frances ? in 1851 Census. Could they be James' parents. Hope someone can help. :-(

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,619 Send Message	For our reference - is this your family? 1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription Seighford, Stafford, Staffordshire, England First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place James Owen Head Married Male 32 1819 Agricultural Labourer Bradley, Staffordshire, England Hannah Owen Wife Married Female 31 1820 - Seighford, Staffordshire, England Harriet Owen Daughter - Female 9 1842 Scholar Seighford, Staffordshire, England John Owen Son Unmarried Male 6 1845 - Seighford, Staffordshire, England Ann Owen Daughter - Female 3 1848 - Seighford, Staffordshire, England James Owen Son - Male 2 1849 - Seighford, Staffordshire, England John Hawkins Nephew Unmarried Male 20 1831 Farm Servant Seighford, Staffordshire, England Your OP not very clear You're saying James and Hannah married in 1841 - ? also that his Father was James a Labourer and her Father was Robert - is this from the Marriage certificate. You're then wondering if the Father James was b 1796 and was married to a Hannah and his Father was possibly John b 1772 and married to Frances?

Member Since: December 2011 Posts: 76 Send Message	greyghost - will have to double check my info, but I think the first James had a son James and they both married a Hannah. That is what I thought anyway but will need to recheck. Thanks again for your info.
