I have Ann Harrison living with her daughter and son in law Sarah and Richard Woodcock in 1871 and 1881 in Hull. On one she is shown as born in 1796 in York, the other is 1794 in Leeds. I can't figure out where she was before on any other census. Any help appreciated.

1871 for reference Ann Harrison abt 1796 York, Yorkshire, England Motherto Wife Holy Trinity Yorkshire Charles Woodcock abt 1866 Hull, Yorkshire, England Son Holy Trinity Yorkshire Eliza Woodcock abt 1863 Hull, Yorkshire, England Daughter Holy Trinity Yorkshire Harry Woodcock abt 1867 Hull, Yorkshire, England Son Holy Trinity Yorkshire John Harrison Woodcock abt 1869 Hull, Yorkshire, England Son Holy Trinity Yorkshire John Richard Woodcock abt 1861 Hull, Yorkshire, England Son Holy Trinity Yorkshire Mary Ann Woodcock abt 1870 Hull, Yorkshire, England Daughter Holy Trinity Yorkshire Richard Woodcock abt 1838 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Head Holy Trinity Yorkshire Sarah Woodcock abt 1832 Hull, Yorkshire, England Wife Holy Trinity Yorkshire

Do you know the name of Ann's husband / Sarah's father? It might help! Kate.

As her daughter was born in Hull in 1832 according to the 71 census, mum Ann probably has lived there since then Linda

tried to find ann's husband's name but no success yet, will have a look at the 1861 reference you have given though, thanks

As there are a few possibles for Ann, you would be best to get Sarah's marriage certificate to find out her (Sarah's) father's name. Kate.

The 1861 is correct as they are living next door but one to John and Sarah Woodcock Linda

Well, that certainly suggests it is the right couple, but if you want to be sure, get Sarah's marriage certificate. I have so many Rimmers, Marshalls etc. in my tree that I know this 'living next door' thing doesn't always mean anything! And Harrison is one of those popular surnames. Kate.

Well done Linda, looks like mine is wrong then. I will delete it so as not to confuse anyone. Gloria :-))))
