Hi Linnett
Cant find either Wm or Martha in 51, in view of thier ages they could be deceased unless you have them on a future census :-\
There is a Henry Park un 16 Farm Servant b Durham Blackwell. Living Village of Bradbury .

Hi there
There is a William Park who is married but living alone living in Blackwell village in the 1851.
He is aged 56 and he is an Ag Lab from Croft in Yorkshire.
Ref: HO107/2382/~F434
Martha aged 57 is listed separately but still in the village living with Thomas 12, James 8 (marked as her son??) and two visitors called Armstrong. All three Parks are from Blackwell
HO107/2382/~F434 as well.

Hi
Thanks very much for your time and effort
The William Park from Croft is definitely right because I have his son William as being born in Croft. Looks like all the rest is correct too
Thanks a lot

Do you have the full 1841 Blackwell census, the one I can see lists 3 more children, John 15, Mary 11 & Joseph 7 as well as Henry & Thomas

From the 1851 Martha is rather old to have a son aged 8 - I wonder if he could be Mary's?

Hi Barbara
The full 1841 census details for the family would be very welcome
Thanks very much

The Parks at Blackwell are a branch of my side; a relative in Canada has their fully history I believe.
They lead back to a marriage at Kirby Wiske in 1790.

I have read these posts and I descend from the Blackwell "Park" family. John and Thomas both in the 1841 census emigrated to Canadan. They were sons of William and Martha. Glad to answer any questions. I have photos of John and Thomas and would like to see photos of their 5 other brothers (William, George, Henry, Joseph and James. The one sister, Mary, married Robert Pybus of Manfield.
