I've asked this before, but it really nags at me, so if anyone who hasn't already wasted time on my Birch/Garth problem would like to do so now ...
I have in front of me the marriage certificate for George Birch and Mary Anne Birch, both aged 24
Date: Sept 22nd 1858 at Kirkstall Parish Church after Banns
George - occupation: Cloth dresser living at Brick Row, Kirkstall. Father George Birch - Bricklayer
Mary Anne - (spinster) of Park Row, Kirkstall. Father John Birch - Cloth dresser.
Witnesses: Joe Bray /Annie Ellis
I THINK that the fathers ma have been reversed ...
I have George in 1851 living as a lodger with what I believe are his cousins - John Garth and Emma (Class: HO107; Piece: 2321; Folio: 357; Page: 4)
In 1841 the mystery begins and could be the reason for my confusion.
John and Martha are listed with (in this order) James (2), William (4 mo), John Birch (6) and Jane Garth (5), but there is a stroke between William and John, almost as if they are a separate household.
In 1851 Jane Garth is listed as daughter to John and Martha, but has Houseworker as her occupation
I can't find John's birth in IGI and the only Mary Ann I can find is the daughter of Joseph!
HELP! A cool and analytical mind (unlike mine) would be gratefully appreciated....
What I could do with is a handle on the Birches and Garths and if anyone can find either George or Mary Anne's birth it'd be a great help.
