I am so confused my head hurts :-( my GG Grandad Isaac Cheesebrough b1849 Bradford married to Dorothy ann b1856 (nee green). ive had info from someone saying his birth cert reads 24th March 1849 Wood
street Manningham./ Name= Isaac/ sex= Boy/ Father's Name= Mathew Cheesebrough/Mothers Name= Sarah Ann Cheesebrough formerly Normington b1831which are the details on my tree. but the problem is he has a sister called sarah annie b1829 and the problem is that the 1851 (Bradford) & 1861 (Middlesbrough) census gives the confusion of why he's living with what looks like his sister??????but has down that he's her son???? PLEASE HELP

The 1851 census shows that he was the son of Matthew Cheeseborough & Dinah. They hadn't transcribed the previous page with the family. There are 9 children listed the oldest being 28. It looks like Dinah is a second wife, she's only 40. Matthew is 50.

For ref the 1851 census Sarah I at the top of the page and the parents are on the previous page.

Parents are Matthew Cheeseborough and Dinah.

yes this is the crew im after. thanks for such quick replies folk, really appreciate help. the problem is this census:

1851* – 109 wood st, manningham, (st Jude parish) Bradford * their marriage was1846 bradford
H - Matthew cheesebrough* m1846 50 woolcomber darlington 1801
W – Dinah “ (hargreaves) 40 bacup,Lancashire 1811
S – William “ (ann is mother)28 (mar) “ “ warwickshire 1823
S – Matthew “ 23 (mar) (ann is mother) Bradford 1828
D – Sarah Annie “ 22(ann is mother) power loom weaver Bradford 1829
S – Thomas “ (mother not listed) 18 woolcomber “ 1833
D – Mary “ (mother Dinah) 8 Bacup 1843
D – Elizabeth “ (mother Dinah) 6 “ 1845
S – Michael “ (mother Dinah) 3 “ 1847
S – Isaac “ (mother sarah ann)* 2 ggdad “ 1849
S – James “ (mother Dinah) 1 “ 1850

Susan tickles me that Dinah is only two years older than the 1851 census.

I could'nt find them on the 1861 on Ancestry.

the ggdad is for my Great Great Grandad.
as you can see from previous post his birth cert says his mother is sarah ann cheesbrough (nee Normington) born 1831- but the 1861 and 1871 have him living with the sarah annie from 1829 under the name Black

A tree on Ancestry says that he's the son of Matthew Cheesbrough & Dinah Hargreaves but I still think Dinah is a second wife. Either that or her first child was born when she was 12.

he's here as jese for short & up to 1881:
1861 – Henry St Boro
H – Sarah Black 32 (mar george black s/ton 1859)“ 1829
S Jese cheesebrough 12 “ 1849
D – Ann “ 9 “ 1853
D – Harriet “ 2 boro 1859
+ 2 lodgers born Northampton

1871 – 17 Blake St, Boro
H – Sarah Annie cheesebrough 42 (unmar) weaver Bradford 1829
S – Isaac “ 22 moulder “ 1849
D – Ann “ 18 “ 1853
D – Harriet “ 12 Boro 1859
+ lodger John Normanton 31 bradford 1840

1881 – 21 Robert St Boro
H – Isaac cheesbrough 32 iron moulder Bradford 1849
W – Dorothy “ (green) 26 shildon 1855
S – Matthew Isaac “ 6 Boro 1875
D – Mary Ellen “ 4 “ 1877
D – Sarah Annie “ 10mth “ 1880
+ lodger William green (B.I.Law) 19 laborour iron wks Boro 1862

yes margee she was his 2nd wife, his first was called sarah ann can you believe, but seemed to go by ann

My pooter had a fit and turned itself off but I am back now.

So have you know sorted this problem Marie? It seems to me that the enumerator got it wrong and put down Sarah Ann as the dau of Matthew and Dinah where in fact she was Dau in law. You can't go by the years of birth given as a lot of people in those times did'nt know when they were born or celebrated their birthdays.

Sarah Ann Normington married Matthew Cheeseborough in 1849. Her fathers name was Issac Normington.

yeh, knew all that thanks, but the dates on all census show her birth as 1829 (which is his sisters year)(she in workhouse here with them aged 10)
the sarah in1851 census is sarah normington born 1831- how come he has sarah (born 1829) with him in workhouse here:

1841 – darlington union workhouse
Matthew - cheesebrough 40 pauper co durham 1801
Joseph “ 15 “ ? 1826
Matthew “ 13 “ Bradford 1828
Sarah “ 10 “ “ 1829
Thomas “ 8 “ “ 1833
John “ 5 “ “ 1836

hope my last message didn't sound 'off' but have to limit time on comp as get headaches, hence I write fast as can and get off line. I really do appreciate having someone to help with all this as I started it few year ago now and altho done loads, this hic up is bugging me still. and thanks again guys ;-)

Sarah b. 1829 is the sister of Matthew ( son of Matthew )

Isaac is the son of the younger Matthew, ... I think.

thank you all so much, esp mel fairy godmother - as when reading the marriage cert (which thought I had but didn't) it seems clear that sarah normington was born 1829 and his sister sara (was 10 in workhouse) so born in 1831. such a simple small mistake has battered my head, as I had wrote them down wrong on family tree!
just shows how easy it is eh guys.
thanks again, i'll now make changes and doesn't really matter what happened to sister sarah, its something don't need to know I suppose
thanks again :-D
