Please could someone look on the 1851 census for Wortley, Leeds and help find Abraham Newton (born abt 1785). I'd like to know what his occupation was and whether there are any other dependants living with him? Thanks, Andy

Is this him? Abrm Newton abt 1785 Driglington, Yorkshire, England Head Leeds Yorkshire Rebecca Newton abt 1788 Gildersome, Yorkshire, England Wife Leeds Yorkshire Source information: HO107/2314 Registration district: Hunslet Sub-registration district: Wortley ED, institution, or vessel: 3b Folio: 181 Page: 30 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 131 GSU Number: 87532-87533 His occupation was Pauper late Wool/Wood Spinner Georgina.

Thanks, that is him. He is a new addition to my tree coming from his daughters wedding certificate where his job was a Cloth Dresser. I wanted to tie up the job on the census to be sure it was him and the wool worker fits well enough. Now to see if I can find his marriage to Rebecca! Thanks, Andy

Possible marriage... ABRAHAM NEWTON Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: REBECCA CLIFFE Marriage: 12 APR 1812 Birstall, Yorkshire, England Georgina.

Thanks Georgina, that is likely to be them. Just looking on the IGI at their children's baptism's, 5 were baptised on the same day - 23 Jan 1825, wonder why? Might be my next post.
