thanks linda for all your help have a good day love linda x

I have checked the Wales 1851 census and cannot find anything there. I have checked on the 1861 census and it looks like Barnton. The only ref I came up with on the 1851 census is... although the birth year is out so may not be of any help Name: John Wakefield Age: 13 Estimated birth year: abt 1838 Relation: Servant Gender: Male Where born: Witton, Cheshire, England Civil parish: Leftwich Ecclesiastical parish: Dane Bridge County/Island: Cheshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Northwich Sub-registration district: Weaverham ED, institution, or vessel: 16b Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 123 Household Members: Name Age Anne Bowden 52 Thomas Bowden 14 William Bowden 50 John Wakefield 13 The address is London Road, Leftwich. His birthplace Witton is in Northwich. London Road is the main road leading from Davenham through Leftwich to Northwich so that may tie in with Linda's marriage in Davenham....? Good luck Linda

Has anyone been able to check Wales? Selena

THANKS EVERYONE i am still struggling with 1851 any more ideas ? love linda x

Weaverham is around the same area as Northwich. Ooops Reg...sorry I missed your Barnton/Weaverham connection Linda

Sorry i have been so long getting back to you but i had visitors. THANKS YOU ALL SO MUCH you are wonderful. i can now get stuck into checking all these out. i cant tell you how thankful i am love linda x

Lindy The marriage in weaverham could be worth checking out, as i found this for Ellen Roberts on the 1851 census. Who happens to be born in Flintshire. Ellen Roberts Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1831 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Northop, Flintshire, Wales Civil parish: Chester St Bridget County/Island: Cheshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Great Boughton Sub-registration district: Cathedral Division ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 63 Linda

Hi Linda, Could John have been possibly born in Barnton, Cheshire....this is in Northwich....just a thought. Linda

Hi Lindy This was taken from cheshireBMD. WAKEFIELD John/ ROBERTS Ellen, Davenham, St Wilfrid Cheshire Central Linda

Was Northwich mentioned somewhere? Does this seem likely? Marriages Mar 1852 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Riding Elizabeth Northwich 8a 264 Roberts Ellen Northwich 8a 264 Thompson James Northwich 8a 264 Wakefield John Northwich 8a 264

selena you are right they may have been in wales but i have looked everywhere and cant find them i cant find a marriage either so that would have given me more info to work with thanks linda x

Could they be in Wales? Did it say on 61 that Ellen and two boys were born in Wales? Sorry don't have access to ancestry but perhaps someone else could look..... Selena
