Hi Lin, Thanks for the nudge. I have a couple of brick walls, one is finding where my gr-gr-grandfather, David Naylor, was during the 1851 census. His wife, Elizabeth, was at her parents home in Broughton, parish of Appleton-le-Street, North Yorkshire, with their 3 mo. old daughter, Hannah. Her occupation is listed as blacksmith's wife. Hannah was born in the city of York so I am assuming that is where their actual place of residence was and that she was visiting her parents at the time of the census. Could it be possible David was at his place of employment when the census was taken or an apprentice under someone else, or maybe even shoeing a horse at someone's farm, or some other scenerio? One other quick question. What was the age of majority for marriage in 1840? Was it 25? My other gr-gr-grandmother was listed as a minor at her first marriage in 1840 but gave her age as 38 at her second marriage in 1854. Thank you for any help.
