I have been using this site for numerous years and have found lots of information and help from like minded persons searching their ancestors. I have found myself at a brick wall and wondered if anyone on this site is searching the Blenkinship family from Selside. My great grandmother was Harriet Matilda Blenkinship born 1859 in Selside. She was a domestic servant at Ashes Farm , Staveley in 1881. From there she moved to Sedbergh which was in West Riding of Yorkshire. She married my great grandfather James Jackson in 1889. They live4d at Wilkinstyle in the Dowbiggin area of Sedbergh. He died there in 1890 in?and she moved into Settlebeck cottages, Sedbergh. She remarried a man called James Eaden, who was working at Sedbergh School as gardener.?They moved to Ruecrofts Farm in Howgill area. I am trying to find their marriage date. >From there they moved to live and farm in .Lancashire?. I would also like to find when they moved to Lancashire. Any help on any other Blenkinship family would be helpful if you are searching this family too.

Hello Margaret: The FreeBMD Index shows that James EADEN married Harriet Matilda JACKSON in 1902, sometime in the second quarter of that year, in Sedburgh, Yorshire - West Riding, Volume 9a Page 1 Pity that they wouldn't be listed on the 1901 British Census ! Barb, Ontario, Canada.

Margaret, FreeBMD has index entries for the June quarter of 1902: Eaden James Sedbergh 9a 1 Scan available - click to view Jackson Harriet Matilda Sedbergh 9a 1 Scan available - click to view You would have to obtain the certificate (or find the relevant parish register) to get the actual marriage date.

Hello again, Margaret: There is an interesting entry on the 1891 British Census, showing a James JACKSON, age 62, Gameskeeper, born Sedbergh, Yorkshire, along with his wife Harriet M. age 32, born Kendal, Westmorland, and their daughters...Elizabeth, age 4 and Jane, age 1, both born Sedbergh, Yorkshire. Maybe your James did not die in 1890 (?). I could send you the image of the census page if you would like to have it. I'll have a look on the FreeBMD and see what I can find. Barb, Ontario, Canada.

Margaret James Eaden married Harriet Jackson in Sedbergh in the Apl-Jun Quarter 1902 (Ref Vol 9a page 1) you will be able to obtain this marriage certificate for further details. They must have moved after 1902, but when will probably be difficult to trace.
