Harry is an unusual name for someone your age, can I just ask if you're Hilary's brother. I've thought about asking a while ago but the temptation to ask has got the better of me.
Sorry

hi Mike, the oldest murgatroyd I have is Robert born in 1793 in Forton, Lancashire. He's followed by Amos born 1830 in Wyresdale, Thomas born 1856 in Croston. My Gran Rose Murgatroyd was born in Ludlow, Shropshire. If you think it's the same Murgatroyds that you are interested in let me know, I do have more information than is here.
regards
Pat

hi paul, I've found a tree  with five more children on.  William Harrington born in 1810 (this matches the one on an 1841 census), Elizabeth born in 1810, Phebe Ann born in 1816, Elizabeth born in 1818 and Mary Anne born in 1820. I'm not sure how they found these extra children because there's nothing to say where the information came from. There are baptism dates so perhaps they went out and found them on church records.  I do think it's probably right because Richard and Sarah were married in 1809 and Richards father was named William.

Hi Paul, I think I've spoken to you before, but it's been a few years ago now. I would think that Richard and Sarah must have had more children who had left home before the 1841 census, do you know anything about them? There is a William, born 1811(named after Richard's father????)
on the 1841 census in Kidderminster.
regards
Pat

hi I'm new to this site so you'll have to bear with me as I don't know what information has come to light before BUT I can't see anything regarding Richard Harrington and Frances' Marriage Certificate which I have a copy of.  They were married at the Ebenezer Meeting House in Kidderminster on 24th July, 1840. Richard was a widower and Frances Thompson nee Maddocks a widow. His father was William Harrington, a butcher by trade and hers was John Maddocks, also a butcher.
Regarding the 1841 census. I think that the three children, John, William and Elizabeth, have a surname of Thompson and not Thorson as it looks on the census. The other three children, Sarah, Elizabeth and Charles are obviously Harringtons. I would imagine the mother is Sarah Foxall as mentioned on the forum.

regards Pat
