Thank you Roger. I didn't see Hugh in the 1841 census. I found the younger Henry listed as a Blacksmith App between a John Robinson, age 79, Blacksmith and a John Robinson, brn abt 1811, Blacksmith. I decided to look at all of the pages. When I did that, I found Henry the elder. The census source info: Henry the elder > Class:HO107; Piece 1277; Book:5; Civil Parish: Kirk Burton,; County: > Yorkshire; Enumeration Dist: 8; Folio 12; page.16; Line: 15; GSU roll > 464246 Henry the younger, the same but page 8. I also found Job Hinchliffe on page 4, James Hinchliffe on page 17, and Zacchens Hinchliffe on page 14. I decided that Henry the younger just might be Henry the elder's son if his age was really 15, not 8. I thought the census taker may have made a mistake on the age as the age of the Robinson boy listed the line above was 8. Henry the younger married Martha Bradley in Lockwood on Nov. 19, 1848. Both ages are listed as 22. His father is listed as Henry, farmer. I have the certificate. In 1851 Henry and Martha are still in Hepworth according to the census. Henry is listed as 25, Martha as 24. Henry's occupation is blacksmith. The family emmigrated to the US in 1855, well, at least Martha and the children. I found their passage on the New York Passenger Lists record, arriving in New York on the ship City of Mobile, June 18, 1855. Of course, the name was spelled wrong: Henchliffe but all of the family members were correct. I have never found Henry's passage. In 1860 they appear on the US census in Virginia, Cass, Illinois. Henry enlisted in the Union Army in Feb. 1865 and was killed at Vicksburg, Mississippi in Oct. 1865. I found the death record and the pension record naming Martha as the widow. I really was hoping to find Henry's birth family and siblings as I think he may have come to America with a relative. There are other Hinchliffes in Illinois and they slowly moved west, first to Kansas, then to Washington State. This is probably more info than you wanted! Henry's parents and siblings have been a brick wall for a while! Thanks for all your help! Cheers!

However the 8 year old App blacksmith is in the same household as Hugh Hinchliffe in 1841. In 1851 he is still there and shown as the 18 yr old son of Hugh. > > I wonder if you have the correct family?
