Leng-Burial-Leeds

[Calverley Lad]

After my last post I had a look at the IGI, there appears to be a large No of Leng named people living/buried over on the East coast.
Starting about Hull working up through Whitby and into (what is now Teeside).
Thats all for now, supper time after being out in all that Yorkshire rain.

Hello There

On the 1841 census, there ar no Severs in Leeds. There are several in York

There are two possible John Severs, who could be Charlottes father, but not with a Jane, who could be her mother...

Charlotte was born December 12th 1819, and baptised on December 19th 1819 , at St Saviours, York

Thank you both.

The amount of Lengs in east and north yorkshire pre 1840 is astounding, then they spread out all over the place.  I know the family were in York from 1801 (when John married Hannah Morley) up to the baptism of the twins, William and Robert in 1817.  After that there's no trace until William married in Leeds in 1837, then Robert in 1840.  Their father John is not listed as deceased on either marriage certificate.  I'm going back to York to see if I can find a burial/will on Monday.  After that it's a wing and a prayer I guess.

Regards
