Over the years I have asked questions regarding George Ingam his father John and his sister Esther to which many have offered up many suggestions some of which were correct others that were not. I last night managed to break this down armed with the west Yrks PR's being on Ancestry. Now we have more problems lol. What I know for certain is that George INGHAM was the son of John INGHAM a mason as per his wedding cert. I know in 1861 census he was living with his Aunt Esther HAYES nee INGHAM. Her marriage record shows her as the daughter of Joseph INGHAM. In 1841 she and John are living with their mother Maria and William INGHAM. Maria remarried another INGHAM after Joseph's death. On that census William and John are listed as Delvers which is another term for a ditch cutter. According to baptism records, there only being one that fits what I know George was the son of John and Elizabeth and was christened at St Mark's Woodhouse which fits what I knew from census (and assuming Census is correct). It also shows John to be a quarry man. Whilst its been postulated that in 1851 George is with his mother listed as a lodger in a DUFFIELD household and one I am starting to believe is the correct entry. The only problem with this is that I read the mother Elizabeth being unmarried. There is however another entry for John Ingham married and living with an Elizabeth plus 3 other children. These were all christened at Woodhouse. John is listed as a quarry man which in my eyes would fit with George claiming he was a mason on the marriage cert. Also to this end John and Elizabeth are listed as being born at Yeadon on the 1851 census and on the 1861 at Rawdon which is nr Yeadon. A search of the parish registers shows a marriage of John INGHAM to Elizabeth DUFFIELD 1846. John gives his father as William and both occupations are Delver's. I therefore believe I have the right marriage as this fits with what I know from 1841 census although I also know Joseph is his father. Therefore if I am right and the 1851 entry for George is the correct George it would mean that I either have the wrong John or that Elizabeth is enumerated twice. What are the listers thoughts on this? If anyone recognises this tree and is related I would be very eager to discuss this further Rob ps my thanks to all who have helped me with this over the years
