Thank you Ann, mgnv and Sylvia for all this new info. Some of it seems to conflict with what I already have so it will take me a while to determine the correct family...... most of today I guess!!

Thanks Maddie. Elizabeth Hudson looks good for Sarah's mother. Perhaps the Mary Bolland is a second marriage and certainly the names match the two census.

I have just been given some more names for my current research and wish to get more help to add to this family.
The info shows up in FreeBMD as :-

Marriages Jun 1870
TOWLER Henry Wakefield
9c 31

Abson Sarah Wakefield
9c 31


Births Mar 1842
Abson Sarah Pontefract

I have never heard of the name Abson before and wondered if anyone can see her family in 1851 please

Many thanks,
Frances
