    1. [ENG-LANCS-YORKS] TASKER - FIRST POSTING AND DEAD END
    2. Good Evening Listers, I am hoping somebody can help me, as I am 101% stuck! GGG-grandmother Ann TASKER born Manchester 1810(??) married THOMAS LAMB 7th June, 1830 in Leeds They had 5 children. They lived in Leeds and I do not know when she died, I can find no trace of either her or Thomas on the 1881 census. The only clue I have to Ann's birth is the 1851 census entry for them, where her brother is also mentioned and strangely he was born in Leeds, unless this was a mistake of course. 1851 Thomas Lamb and Ann Tasker (parents of Susannah Lamb born 1833 she was married by this time) 9 Garden Court, Leeds Thomas Lamb H M 39 Cart Driver Leeds Ann " W M 41 Manchester Sarah A " D 15 Leeds Harriet " D 8 Scholar Leeds Jane A " D 2 Leeds Robert Tasker BinL Unm 37 Cart Driver Leeds In 1871 Robert Tasker, Ann's brother was with his niece, Susannah (above) again in Leeds 1871 Burton Joshua/Susannah (Lamb) (parents of Ada) 27 Green Street, Leeds Joshua Burton H M 39 Kirkstall Susannah " W M 37 Leeds Joshua " S 17 W.

I have found a reference to Ann Tasker being baptised 22nd July 1812 at the Cathedral, manchester, parents John and Hannah. The IGI refs showed no sign of Robert. I also found Ann Tasker baptised 18th March 1810 in Accrington, parents John and Martha. If anybody can help me with this dead end on Ann Tasker I would be most grateful. Jennifer (UK)
