#819 John Gardner; age 7; 4 year resident
#820 Mary Kitching; age 6; 2 year resident
#821 Thos Gardner; age 1; 1 year resident

Let me know if you need anything else.  I included the Kitchings in the last household listed as they appear to be under the same roof and are no doubt Margaret's children from a previous marriage.

Regards,
Phil

Deborah K,
The Thomas Bamber & Ann Drinkall marriage and their ages are legit and have been proven on many levels for many years.  Thomas Bamber 1724-1798 and Ann Drinkall 1751-1810.  Yes she was the daughter of Nicholas Drinkall and Ellen Harrison.  Are you researching the Drinkalls of Over Wyresdale?

I'm a little slower to reply during the week    I have been looking through the 1767 returns and so far have only found this Richard Kilshaw:

Chapelry of Caton in Lancaster parish:

Males:  Richard Kilshaw  Years of Age:  72  Occupation:  Husbandman  Years of Residence:  40 Years
Females:  Ellen Kilshaw wife of R.C.  Years of Age:  60  [no additional information]

These are the only Kilshaws listed in Caton.

If I read correctly your husband is descended from John Bains and Mary Kilshaw of Over Wyresdale.  I have John Bains as the son of James Bains and Elizabeth Parkinson.  I have additional information on John Bains' siblings and also some information on the Parkinson line.   Not a lot, but some.  Perhaps you have all of this already, but let me know if it is of interest to you.

I  will see if I can find anymore Richard Kilshaw listings in thr 1767 returns.

Catherine Kilshaw was in her own household which also included her 12 year old servant John Wignal. 

I have in my files John Baines and Mary Kilshaw married 29 Jun 1756 at St. Helen's, Garstang.  Their daughter Ann married George Ibison 28 May 1781 at St. Helen's, Garstang.  George Ibison was part of my Bamber family of Wyresdale.

Were Mary and Catherine Kilshaw sisters?
