I'm writing this from memory so forgive me if the date's out but wasn't registration voluntary until around 1875, marriages and deaths tended to get registered but it wasn't compulsory to register births before then so there will be people missing

Thanks for the further info.

I don't think William and Hannah are anything to do with Harriet.  The note was accurate about other things so I think Harriet's father was called George and I also noticed that it said he was a shoemaker in York!  Sorry missed that bit before.

OK Judith. I will not pursue that line of enquiry any further.

If at some future time you change your mind and do come to believe that William and Hannah were her grand parents, most of their children, as shown on the IGI list, are quite easy to track through the censuses (they all lived a few doors from each other) but you will need to be aware when looking for BMD information about them that the Registration District covering Bilton changed during the relevant timescale as follows...

Tadcaster - 1837 to 1862 (May)
Bramham - 1862 (June) to 1869 (August)
Wetherby - 1869 (September)
