Help confirming please

[quiffdo]

Hello everyone

Can somebody please help me confirm that James and Mary Platt are indeed the parents to John,William,Jane,Ann,Robert and Elizabeth by helping me find them on the 1851 census.

James was 47 on the 1841 and Mary was 41.

John - 20
William - 15
Jane - 9
Ann - 7
Robert - 4
Elizabeth - 8months

All were born in Barnton,Cheshire

Many thanks

Danny

Two ways to confirm - find the baptisms (which if not online will be in the parish baptism registers at the Records Office, assuming they were C of E)

and for children born after 1837 (Elizabeth definitely) the birth certificate would help to confirm right family on census, as it would give father's occupation as well as mother's maiden name, and address.

Unfortunately, as you probably know, Barnton isn't on IGI or Freereg.
