I have a few things I would appreciate being looked up. Marriage of Thomas Robinson (b. 1875) and Hannah Baker (b. 1873). Marriage believed to be about 1894. 1841/1851 census record of following family. Father: Francis Walsh (b1800), Mother: Jane (nee Dentonb. 1810) Children Elizabeth 1830, Catherine 1832, John Joseph 1835, William 1837, Thomas 1839, Eliza 1841, Lucy Ann 1843, Caroline 1846, Mary Jane 1848, Charles 1855 1851 census Joseph Ward born 1847 father Thomas, mother unknown Marriages of Stringers (William, Elizabeth, Richard, Hannah, Jonas, Mary, George, Selena) they were all born between 1782 and 1798. I only know of Selina's marriage (to Tom Wilkinson) I know this is a lot to ask. Don't want to seem cheeky! Obviously I know this will take a while so I don't expect a quick response. Whenever it is convenient to yourself. I really appreciate your willingness to help!! Thanking you so much in advance Joanne
