Can anyone help with a John MALLINSON, the father of Selina MALLINSON (and Mary, Harriet, Lucy and George)? Selina appears in the 1841 census aged 11 in Wakefield, having been born there, in a household which seems to be headed by her mother Jane MALLINSON b. abt 1811 and either Jane or John's mother Mary MALLINSON. This Mary was born around 1780 in Hook(e), now East Riding but originally West Riding, and Jane was also born there. John is not included on their return. He is named on Selina's marriage certificate in Dewsbury in 1853, and this says he was a labourer, but does not say he was deceased. I estimate John was born around 1805. It might have been anywhere in Yorkshire, but I'd plump for Wakefield as Jane and Mary moved there from Hook(e). I can't find his marriage to any Jane on the IGI, which should have been abt 1825, as their eldest child Mary was born 1826. I've checked the Mallinson website which is excellent, but doesn't include this family. There are too many John Mallinsons in the censuses to identify him when he isn't living with his family. I can track Jane through quite a long time after Selina married, but John never seems to appear. If anyone can point me towards where I should look next for John's birth and marriage, I'd be grateful. Many thanks Maggie
