Hi Barbara. I believe you are correct in thinking that Elizabeth & Charles NORTON are brother and sister - both employed by Ann BANKER, a farmer, in 1841 at Low Hall, Pollington. Also in Pollington in 1841 are Nathan aged 56, Mary aged 55 & Ann aged 12 who are apparently living with John & Sarah MIDDLETON aged 80 & 70 respectively (remembering that in 1841 ages were usually rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 for anyone over the age of 15) in Shop Lane, Pollington. Also in the village is a 20 year old George NORTON employed by Charles WHEATON, farmer of Common End, Pollington. And - in the village, at Common End, are the RANBYs - Jonathan 48, Frances 45, Hannah 21, George 12, Ellen 10 & Mary aged 8. Jonathan is an Ag lab. - possibly employed by John SYKES? My theory is that John & Sarah MIDDLETON could be Mary NORTON's parents - I see that Charles & Ellen had children called John & Sarah? George, Elizabeth, Charles & Ann NORTON are probably all children of Nathan & Marry NORTON - there could be others. Charles NORTON & Ellen RANBY have probably known each other all their lives having grown up in the same village. May I suggest that you contact the Family History Centre at the LDS Church in Christchurch (near Mona Vale) and ask them how to order the Parish Registers for Snaith which is only a couple of miles from Pollington. There you should be able to find out much more about the family.
