Sophia Lengthorn (Leeds) 1851 census- Completed Thanks
« on: Saturday 20 April 13 13:47 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help? I am trying to find the parents of Sophia Lengthorn. She was born about 1831 in the Wakefield/Leeds area. I can find her on later dates but she has already left home and so her parents are not named.

Many thanks in advance

Oh wow thanks Pinetree. That is definitely her. "Tongthorn"- no wonder I couldn't find her.

Many thanks again

Some of the transcriptions are quite a challenge aren't they?

Have you seen the marriage 2 Jan 1831 St John the Baptist, Wakefield,

Edward Lengthorn (transcribed Longthorn) and Elizabeth Robinson botp,

by banns

wit: Crispin John Robinson and Thomas Robinson.

No, I was just looking for the Edward/Elizabeth marriage but I hadn't got that far yet!

Thanks again
