Is there any sign of my 3Xg grandfather John Ibbetson (Ibbison, Hibbison, etc) in the 1841 census please?
He was born in Thirlby in 1824 and I think he was one of several illegitimate children of Ann Ibbetson. (On his marriage certificate he named his father as Harry Clayton.)
By 1851 John was married and living in Thirsk and I suspect that in 1841 he would be living somewhere around Thirsk, Thirlby, Boltby, Felixkirk. He was an ag lab / farm labourer.
