Thankyou for taking the time to do the lookup Johig.
I'm not sure if any of them are mine so I will keep the information in my records .This has been a hard family to trace with the limited resources I have.
I have their marriage certificate of 31 July 1852 Bradford which stated that they were living in Halifax and Bradford at the time of marriage so I was hoping they were there just before the marriage.
I have had no luck with the 1861 census either.
Elizabeth turned up in the 1871 Census as Head of household with 3 children Ellen b.1855 Halifax,William Henry b.1853/4 Wigan and Edwin b.1864 Halifax.
Edwin Came to Australia about 1885 although I think he swam here as I can't find any record of his entry.
I'm begining to think this family didn't want to be found.
Thanks again,
Regards Cazh

Hi Cazh.
It's me again.
You could get in touch with Bradford central library.
carol.greenwood[at]bradford.gov.uk
She may do a search for you for a fee.
I haven't been at it long enough to do it for you.
Good luck. johig
