    1. [ENG-LANCS-YORKS] Help with Woodhead Research
    2. jen.worton
    3. Hello Listers My relative in Canada has a dilemma and would appreciate some help with it. Vera's WOODHEAD family appears to have moved between Yorkshire and Lancashire. Robert WOODHEAD was born 1821 in Kirkburton Eliza WOODHEAD was born 1816 in Manchester This couple married in 1844 in Yorkshire Children found on the ICI website: Robert Sarah Ann William (born 1854 - shown on 1881 census living with Annie HIGHAM.) William is shown as born in Stockport, Cheshire. He died in 1898 in Bury, Lancashire. All three children were christened January 26 1862 in Manchester Cathedral. It appears that the children were christened twice, once in Yorkshire, and again in Lancashire. Does this sound feasible? Has anyone ever heard of this kind of thing happening? Is it likely that they changed religion when they moved to Lancashire, and therefore were re-christened? Does anyone have any ideas of where we can look to check the details of this puzzling family? Vera would be most grateful for any help you could give. Best wishes Jen
