Hi Hawaai,
I have the 1841 and 1851 census for William Garbutt (b. 1796 Bilsdale). He was a stonemason in and around Bilsdale is whole life. He married Elizabeth (b. 1796 Carlton) and had two sons (George b.1821 and William b.1828) and two daughters (Ann b.1831 and Betsey b.1835).
William and Mary, your great great grandparents lived in and around Carlton, Yorkshire. I have their census records for 1851, 1871 and 1881. Happy to send on to you. William too was a stonemason.
They had eight children of which Hindson was their second, your great grandfather. Hindson's two sons, Harry and William, both went off to fight in WW1. I have got their war diaries if you are interested. Harry died within weeks of being in Flanders but William survived two years of war and returned after the Armistice. I would love to know more about him, if possible. Do you have any information on him? He married Ethel Miller. Some of his WW1 escapades make for incredible reading. Was obviously a brave man.
I have investigated because Hindson is my Great Great Grandfather!
Let me know,
Best wishes, Rob
