I am researching the above surnames, mostly around Wickersley. Does anyone have any connections? Does anyone have access to census returns for the area? I am trying to find where Martha GRAYSON, who married John Middleton DOWNES was born? She died in 1880, but I would exact to find her on the 1841, 51, 61, and 71 census, all in Wickersley, she married in 1834 so would have been shown on the census as Martha DOWNES. Their children were: Elizabeth DOWNES b. 1834 Henry John Grayson DOWNES b. 1835 d. 1846 William DOWNES b. 1839 Mary Ann DOWNES b. 1841 Martha DOWNES b. 1842 Jane DOWNES b. 1844 John Middleton DOWNES b. 1849 Fanny DOWNES b. 1851 Sarah Ellen DOWNES b. 1852 Walter DOWNES b. 1855 Alice DOWNES b. 1858 Hoping someone can help?
