I wonder if any of you super-sleuths can find John Micklethwaite (or similar - the name has lots of mis-spellings) in the Goole area in 1851? I'd love to know where he was born! I have a marriage for him to Hannah Wilkinson in 1830 in Whitgift. I have them on the 1841 at George St Goole (transcribed as Mickelthwate) RG9/1307/11/18/28 with 3 children: Levi 4 (Ancestry transcribed him as Lovey), Sarah Ann 2, and Mary 9m. I have baptisms for Levi 1836 and Sarah Ann 1838, both at Hook, and a birth registration for Mary in 1840. I have a death for Hannah in 1842 in Hook, and for John in Goole in 1854. In 1851 Mary and Sarah Ann are in the Goole Workhouse, Levi is an apprentice in Crowle, Lincs (Ancestry transcribed him as Clive). In 1861 Sarah Ann has moved to Thorne (F.S.) and married Thomas Jenkinson there in 1863. Mary and Levi disappear after 1851 with no trace of marriages and no obvious deaths. There are a couple of baptisms Huddersfield way that are of the right age for John, but that seems a bit distant. But having just found that a Richard Micklethwaite (known as Micklewhite), who married in Tadcaster, was from Mirfield, nothing will surprise me about John's birthplace! I suspect he isn't on the 1851 census. As he's had to put his daughters into the Workhouse, I guess he's somewhere the census enumerator couldn't find him! But you may be able to prove me wrong - I hope so! TIA Andy.

It helps to have ,more detail please - what was John;s age on the 1841 census and what was his occupation Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Andy Micklethwaite via Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 8:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [YORKSGEN] John MICKLETHWAITE of Goole - 1851 I wonder if any of you super-sleuths can find John Micklethwaite (or similar - the name has lots of mis-spellings) in the Goole area in 1851?
