Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: JENKINSON - TINKER family of Dalston, Carlisle

Thanks Geoff.
Yes, when I saw the 1841 census I figured 52 was pretty old to have child even more so back in the day! I wondered if William and Mary were grandparents. I suppose 10 years later in 1851 they may have been dead which is why he was with his Aunt and Uncle - the Tinklers.
I have a copy of Matthew's marriage certificate and there is no father listed, just a big black line drawn through the box. So, that would confirm his illegitmacy.
I will now go down the track of William and Mary as grandparents and see if I can find info on their children, to fill in a missing generation.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Regards
Karyn
