Ianson family of Azerley/Ripon

[Amanda61]

oh my goodness, that's great info. It is what I was looking for certainly. I do have an electoral reg record for Christopher and I'm sure it was 74 Skellgate. Thankyou so much. I will get back to you if I need anything else, will have a look. I only had the father as Christopher and I couldn't find his spouse anywhere so that is a huge help, I can't thank you enough

Did Christopher come from Azerley aswell. I came across the marriage for him and Elizabeth but wasn't sure so it's nice to have it verified.

Hi again
1841 census has a Christopher Janson age 60 plus wife Elizabeth age 60 and son Francis age 20 living in Kirkby Malzeard (Azerley)
I wonder if the Frances dau bap 1818 was a son Francis ?
1851 has Elizabeth widow and son Francis  again in K. Malzeard
The burial for Elizabeth Ianson in 1852 age 56 is perhaps not this Elizabeth.
Plenty for you to think about.
My family of Wells lived in this same area so I have had a lovely afternoon going over old territory !

Yes I'm sure Frances is male, I have him on the 1871 census living in Azerley, born Azerley abt 1818, married to Catherine with two children Elizabeth and John. I'll search for the 1841 census. I've been doing my family history for over 15 years and gave up on the Iansons as I wasn't getting anywhere, what started my interest again was a visit to Ripon library last week and the WWI exhibition there with a picture of a Captain I'anson killed in the war, obviously he's not related but it sparked my curiosity again. I looked round the old workhouse aswell as my great grandfather was born in there after his father deserted the family and ran away to Ireland with another woman. The link is my great grandfather was James Arthur Wass, mother Margaret Ellen Horsman daughter of Frederick Horsman who married Jane Elizabeth Ianson. So Miles was my x4 great grandfather (I think). I love this family history stuff, it's really interesting to see where we come from, I have a fair bit of Irish and Scottish in me too, which probably explains why I love Scotland so much and visit as often as possible, my mother lives in Scotland. Thankyou for all your help
