1881 Look-Up - Sleight, Grimsby
« on: Friday 29 June 07 09:58 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for a Michael SLEIGHT, born c.1831 in Barnetby-le-Wold.  I think I've found him on the IGI, but mistranscribed.  Could anyone check out the actual image for me please?

On the IGI there is a Michael Slight, aged 30 (but his wife Hannah is 47), born at Barnaby.  I can see how Barnaby could be Barnetby, but I'm hoping his age is actually 50 and not 30.  On the 1881 he's living at Nelson Street, Grimsby.

Thanks for any help,

Jo.

It definitely says 30 and wife 47, could be misenumerated though, do you have him in 1871 and 1891?

Hi Catherine,

No I don't have him on any other census.  I have his baptism from the Barnetby parish registers - he was baptised October 19th 1831 and his parents were Thomas and Dinah Sleight (nee Kennington).

This line is a bit of an off-shoot, but one of my neighbours is a Sleight from Grimsby, and I thought it would be interesting to see if I can bring this line forward and make a connection between his family and mine.

Jo.  Smiley

Seen your other post whilst I was typing this - looks like that could be him in 1881 then?
