Dear all,
I have an ancestor (well, the brother of my Great Great Great Grandmother). His name was Job Bradley and he was born to Matthew and Hannah Bradley in Huddersfield in March 1799 and was baptised into the Wesleyan faith by them a few days later. The family then moved to Almondbury near Holmfirth and had another three kids; Rachel (1801), Absolom (1804) and Robert (1805).
Now, Rachel is my ancestor so that's all fine, Absolom appears to die in 1840, and Robert...well...there's just too many of them!
But Job is the problem. I think I have him in 1841 being a boarder and a 'fancy weaver' aged 40 in Lockwood, Huddersfield. But I can't find him in 1851. Or 1861. Or 1871. Yet he appears to not die 'til 1879 (Huddersfield aged 83).
So, where is the tricky so-and-so? Any suggestions gratefully received...!
