Hello: Stephen, if I am correct ?, in the ON Whitby Census 1871C: 1871C: Selah Orvid 45y (1871-45=1826). He is bp:04-02-1826. Elizabeth (Proctor) 34y (1871-34=1837) given to be bp:13-12-1835 (Messingham). Since Elizabeth Proctor 34y in 1871 (=bp:1837), and since she was 'apparently' bp:13-12-1835, which although at the end of the year, it means she would have turned a full year before any census. Are you sure you have the correct ship list ?. We are probably in the right place for the person on that ship list, but things are not adding up yet, but not in the right place for the whole family. His dates are fine, your Elizabeth Proctor is 2 years out, 1 year only would have been sought further as to why. If the census is correct, we are in the wrong place.
