1851 Census returns from Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire

Derek Wrathall visited a family history fair at York in July 2001 and received the data below.

From the Huddersfield & District Family History Society - a printout from the 1851 census.
Enumeration District 3G, Folio 631, Schedule 53, Address; 613, Lidgett Lane.

WRATHALL William Head 35 Clog, Patten born Malton
WRATHALL Sarah Wife 39   born Carlton
WRATHALL John Son 8   born Lindley
WRATHALL Frederick Son 5   born Lindley
WRATHALL Arthur Son 2mo   born Lindley


Notes: This family appear in the 1871 census at Lothersdale. William's birthplace is read as Malton above but I read it as Marton in the 1871 census. Marton and Carleton (current spelling) are almost adjoining villages in Craven and I think Marton is much more likely to be correct. Malton is a small town a little inland from the Scarborough area of North Yorkshire. In the 1871 census both William and John are described as clog and patten makers.
In April 2002, Derek mentioned that the John Wrathall above is the one included on the gravestone in the churchyard at Cowling - died in Norway. The family appear in Lothersdale in the 1871 census, and the obituary of Miss Amy Wrathall of Cowling gives more details of the family. In July 2005, Derek added the following:
Parents of William - William WRATHALL and Mary LEYLAND of Kettlewell. Grandparents - Henry WRATHALL [of] Linton, and Ann CONSTANTINE d. 1816 at Conistone. Henry had a brother, Lupton, buried in the churchyard of St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield, London. William's wife, Sarah, was Sarah DUCKWORTH of Lothersdale. William was born in 1816 at West Marton Hall and died at Brighouse. He had a sister Isabella. William's son, John, died in Norway in 1912 and is buried at Cowling..... His wife, Eunice, was the first head teacher at the Board School at Cowling.
