my ggg-grandmother Ellen Bickerdike was born c 1808 in Sherburn-in-Elmet.
She married Wiiliam Hayes in Sherburn in 1830, he was born c 1800 in Kippax
I have a copy of the marriage entry but there is no mention of father for either Ellen of William.
....
an update to the details I posted on my gtgtgt-grandmother Ellen Bickerdike - I recently double checked the places of birth for her on the census returns :
1841 : Living in Sherburn-in-Elmet, place of birth 'in county'
1851 : pob Skelton, Yorkshire, England
1861 : pob Sherburn, Yorkshire, England
1871 : pob Skelton, Yorkshire, England
In 1871 Ellen is a widow & head of household, so I suspect that may be her actual place of birth. There seems to be several places named Skelton in Yorkshire .. would the one near York be closest, and a likely location for Ellen's family ?
