	Do you know when each of them died? Have you tried to find them yourself on the FREE 1871 and 1881 censuses on familysearch?

	Hi Maddie, Thank you for the 1871 census I wonder if Edward Watkinson is the one who died in the workhouse in 1874 but his age is down as 74 making him born 1800 8yrs to old. Wendu

	Hi All, I think the Edward who died in 1874 is the one from Papplewick and they put wrong age on death. I wish the archives was open :-( :-(. Wendy

	Just need to find Edward now on 1841 & 1851 now. I did think that his mother Hannah Watkinson married a William Higdon in 1825 butnot so sure now as I think I found her burial in 1835 in Papplwick as an unmarried woman. Wendy
