But the question is........was he/she minors on the marriage cert or did it mention they were of full age ErrorSPAM REPORT THIS POST AS SPAM (Use 'Report to Moderator').

if they were minors the family that is in Lewis Street, Pembroke Dock in 1851 is clearly not yours.........whereas if they were of full age they quite possibly are?
the trouble being once you get a train of thought it sometimes overides what is staring you in the face!

Question........quote
What I know for sure is that George Henry Atkinson was my great great grandfather. He was born in Pembroke Dock, Wales in 1851.

how do you know he had a middle name of Henry? did it state that in later census or was a child born and he had his full name on that birth cert?

If you don't know for definite that his middle name was Henry?............their was a George Stokel Atkinson born Dec qtr 1850 Stockton R.D and he is visiting as a 10 year old in 1861 (does that mean his parents are deceased?) he is at Dacre Street, Middlesboro in 1861.
Deaths..........
Sarah Atkinson........4 deaths between 1854-1860 Stockton R.D
Thomas Atkinson.....4 deaths between 1853-1858 Stockton R.D

I don't possess access to the 1851 census........so if you can obtain the 1851 details for George Stokel Atkinson born Stockton R.D at the end of 1850 it will be interesting to see who his parents are?  Anybody please



I definitely think you need that birth cert if your sure its your gr gr grandfather.

Thank you both.
George Henry Atkinson was a larger than life character in my family who remained a topic of conversation years after  his death in 1925 and because of his successful career in the shipbuilding trade he became the yardstick of success that all members of my fathers family (including myself) were measured by. My grandfather was his first grandchild and he adored his grandson. I have a heartwarming photo taken when my grandfather was about five in 1917 with his grandparents.  I, in turn was his first grandson and the apple of his eye. He would often tell me of the great ships that George Henry Atkinson worked on. My grandfather's last remaining sibling has recently told me of stories told to her of life in Wales.
On the marriage cert of Thomas and Sarah Atkinson it states that they were of full age.

There you go......................

Once you know the story you understand..........end of speculation 

The family I found in 1841 is clearly not yours 

The best option is to get the birth cert and go from there!

Hello again Meliora,
In the following quote does the Y in County Y stand for Yorkshire?

Hello, Scott,

The only thing I have managed to find is an entry for Ann Atkinson, 1841 & '51 in Wapping Workhouse.

HO107/715  bk 6  folio 3  page 2
Wapping District Workhouse  Wapping

Ann Atkinson  age 45    ..?.. Mangler  born in county Y

HO107/1550  folio 124  page 2
Wapping Distict Workouse  Wapping

Ann Atkinson  pauper  age 55  Washing  born Mile End, Middsx

There is a death that might fit.

Death
Thomas Isaac Atkinson
Mar ¼  1840   Poplar  2  246

How sad, 10 years in a workhouse

Meliora

If so is the Ann Atkinson in the 1851 census the same as the one in the 1841 census?
Thanks
Scott
