Hi. Im looking for George Mighton born c1798 in Yorkshire (birthplaces listed are Bishop Wilton and Allo(Aller)thorpe), and also his wife Ann born c1810 in Yorkshire. I know George is definately alive, although all children born in 1841 are servants elsewhere. In 1841 they are living in Elvington and in 1861in St George. Name varies quite a bit so thats why im struggling. Many thanks

Im pretty sure the George Wrighton living in Elvington isnt them

1861 is this the family you mention ? Name: George Wrighton Age: 67 Estimated birth year: abt 1794 Relation: Head Male Where born: Bishop Wilton, Yorkshire Civil parish: York St George County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Source information: RG9/3552 Registration district: York Sub-registration district: Walmgate ED, institution, or vessel: 16 Folio: 113 Page: 45 Household schedule number: 247 GSU Number: 543150 George Wrighton abt 1839 Barnby Moor, Yorkshire, England Son Thomas Wrighton abt 1841 Barnby Moor, Yorkshire, England Son Eliza Wrighton abt 1853 Elvington Nr York, Yorkshire, England Daughter Ellen Wrighton abt 1830 Allothorpe, Yorkshire, England Daughter James West abt 1839 Elvington Nr York, Yorkshire, England Boarder Maureen Update Just checked this image and the name is Mighton

1851 I presume one of the children Name: Ellen Mighton Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1831 Relation: Servant Female Where born: Allerthorpe, Yorkshire Civil parish: York St Helen County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Source information: HO107/2353 Registration district: York Sub-registration district: Skelton ED, institution, or vessel: 11 and 12 Folio: 328 Page: 16 Household schedule number: 69 GSU Number: 87614-87617 1851 - this is the one you say is wrong but the image is Mighton Name: George Wrighton (Occupation of oat sheller?) Age: 50 Estimated birth year: abt 1801 Relation: Head Where born: Allerthorpe, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Elvington County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Source information: HO107/2356 Registration district: York Sub-registration district: Escrick ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Folio: 111 Page: 21 Household schedule number: 80 GSU Number: 87622 Ann Wrighton abt 1806 Thoroton on Sands, Yorkshire, England Wife Jane Wrighton abt 1848 Elvington, Yorkshire, England Daughter Mary Ann Wrighton abt 1840 Elvington, Yorkshire, England Daughter Thomas Wrighton abt 1838 Elvington, Yorkshire, England Son William Wrighton abt 1842 Sutton on Derwent, Yorkshire, England Son

Any thoughts on this? Maureen

Well sounds like you found him Glitter, well done.

Thanks Heather. But I have only found the same people that Robyne had the details for and was wondering if there was a different problem on this lookup. Maureen

many apologies for not getting back sooner. Yes thats all them. The George Wrighton in Elvington im not sure whether that is them or not, as all children around in 1841 have moved out. It seems as though although i thought it isnt them, it could possibly be them as i cant find them before or after. Its a shame the 1841 didnt list a road as that would make it a lot easier to say if it was def them or not

I presume this is the family in 1841 that you are trying to compare with Name: George Mightam Age: 43 Estimated birth year: abt 1798 Gender: Male Where born: Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Elvington Hundred: Ouse and Derwent County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Source information: HO107/1227/5 Registration district: York Sub-registration district: Dunnington ED, institution, or vessel: 7 Folio: 5 Page: 4 Line number: 20 GSU Number: 464223 Ann Mightam abt 1811 Yorkshire, England Ellen Mightam abt 1830 Yorkshire, England George Mightam abt 1838 Yorkshire, England Hannah Mightam abt 1836 Yorkshire, England Mary Mightam abt 1754 Yorkshire, England Thomas Mightam abt 1840 Yorkshire, England Maureen
