Hi Kathleen and David. Hope this message gets to both of you.

Not sure if what I have found is the right family but see what you think.

1841 census (remember this census rounded up the ages of the people other than the young children so although there is three with same age, they were not triplets.
William Widdup.
MARY 25 (Query Davids)
John 25 (actually 1861.he was 46)
Thomas. 25. (in 1861 he was 44)
Eli. 20.
Levi. 18.
William 16.
Born Salterforth. Barnoldswick.

1861.
Eli. 41. Cotton Weaver.Born Salterforth.Yorks
Sarah. 39. Born Barnoldswick
William) (Query Kathleens)
Thomas.)twins.10. Born Barnoldswick
Mary Ann. 8. Born Barnds
Sarah. 6. Born Barnolds
Adelaide. 3. Born Barnolds
Levi. 1. Born Barnoldswick.
Living Wapping St. Barnoldswick.

Births.
William and Thomas. 1850. April/June Qtr. reg in Skipton.vol 23 696
Mary Ann. 1852. Oct/Dec Qtr. reg in Skipton. vol 9a 31
Sarah. 1854. Oct/Dec Qtr. reg in Skipton. vol 9a 28.
Adelaide. 1857 Jan/March Qtr. reg in Skipton.vol 9a 29
Levi. 1850 April/June Qtr. reg in Skipton. vol 8a 33.

This family would appear to be part of both your trees but needs checking backwards from yourselves to be sure.

Hope this helps. Ethel.

Hi Kathleen
My great grandfather's mother was Mary Widdup - She was married to Thomas Stott. Their son Joseph was my great grandfather born 1852. He came to Australia in 1870.
Any info would be very appreciated
Regards
David Stott
