Hannah Sparrow Muckley

Thanks for all your help, I can now move forward with this.
I find it is so addictive and then frustrating when you get stuck.
Must develop some patience!!

Hi Carol,
It all takes practice and with experience you will improve
If you need anything else just ask.
Just one question; What does John Muckleys Marriage Cert say re his Father or isnt there one on the M/C?

[Cazza47]

I have not got John's marriage certificate, as yet.
I have begun a short course on family heritage at a local school so hopefully this will prove useful.

Fair enough. Enjoy your course.
If I find anything else I will post it on here for you as I would love to find where the Sparrow comes from.
It does get addictive

Further to my research into Hannah Sparrow Muckley, this morning I received her marriage certificate to Enoch Kendrick. It states her father as being John Sparrow Muckley, it does not give her age and as yet I have not found her birth details. On the 1841 census she is living with her brother James, but according to my research, she had at least 7 other siblings. I am not sure why she was living with her brother James (who by the 1851 census) was back with his parents. Another ancestry researcher on ancestry co.uk site has her only having one brother called James and possibly living with her grandmother Elizabeth Belcher. Am off to take my dogs for a walk now, (do my best thinking whilst walking dogs!!) John Sparrow Muckley was an engine maker, his sons, grandsons and great grandsons seem to have all been invovled with the railways. My Dad gave me a pile of old photo's today, unfortunately he does not know who they are!!

The fact that Hannah and James were enumerated at the same address as their grandmother Elizabeth BELCHER in the 1841 census does not mean they were living with her.  The census is just a snapshot of where people spent one particular night (in this case the night of 6-7 June 1841).

thank you for that, I had never thought of that.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much, I was totally stuck on John Sparrow Muckley.
I was struggling to find details on Hannah until I sent for her marriage certificate.
Any information you have on Elizabeth would be gratefully received.
At the moment I have moved on to my maternal side of the family which is proving just as tricky but still so enjoyable finding things out,
