Hi
Do you have any idea when they died?  It might be possible to get birth dates from that and help pin them down a bit.

Hi

Don't know whether you have Thomasine on the census but it seems she was born approx 1804 Chester le street. Last time I can see her is in 1871 census.

William is not with her in 1841

Funny.  I could have sworn that said marriage in 1924 earlier.   I even looked for deaths - no wonder I couldn't find them.  Must be too early in the morning!
