1841/1851 Census for Pocklington

[davidj]

I am trying to get some more information on the family of Ann Elizabeth WILKINSON (b. 1843).  I have details of who she married - a certain Francis ALLISON - and subsequent descendants.

I believe that her parents may have been called John and Mary.

If anyone can help with information about her family from these Census, that would be great.

Hi Gabby,

Yes, I am still trying to find other sources for these two.  This is what I have:

By 1881, Ann was a widow.  Francis had died in 1874 Dec q.  She went on to marry a John Best, who was from Durham (according to subsequent Census).

The Census details I have are:

1881 – Skelton (RG11/4842 p.38?)

John BEST, Hd, 34, Iron Mining, not known
Ann BEST, Wf, 36, ,Pocklington – Yorks       (Formerly Ann ALLISON)
John W BEST, S, 12, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
Francis BEST, S, 10, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
George BEST, S, 5, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
Tom BEST, S, 3, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
Polly BEST, Da, 7, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
Ada BEST, Da, 6, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
*Minnie BEST, Da, 8, Scholar, Skelton – Yorks
(* I think this should read 8 months)


1871 – North Kilvington (RG10/4836 p.2)

Francis ALLISON, Hd, 27, Ag Lab, Dunnington - Yorks
Ann ALLISON, Wf, 25, ,Pocklington – Yorks
John W ALLISON, S, 1, , Askham – Yorks


1861 – Sutton on Derwent (RG9/3558 p.10)

Francis ALLISON, Hd, 19, Farm Servant, Dunnington – Yorks

I know that Francis married Anne Elizabeth WILKINSON the June quarter of 1867.  I also believe that I have found the right Francis ALLISON on LDS being christened on 21st March 1842.  This has his parents as John ALLISON and Barbara.  What I would like to be able to confirm is that Francis’ parents are indeed John and Barbara on the 1851 Census, if possible.

I could not find an Anne Elizabeth WILKINSON on the 1861 Census.  I do think I have the right one on LDS being christened 5th Jan 1844. This has her parents as being John and Mary.  Again the 1851 Census could verify this for me.

If you are able to help here, too, that would be great.

Kind regards

David
