Hello. Could anyone please find William Wass . He was born in Jan 1806 and baptised in Leeds in 1807. Unfortunately I do not know any more about him other than his father was also William Wass and mother Ann Weddale. I'm also having trouble locating Willian Wass senior who was a grocer in Leeds in the 1820's but may have died by 1841. Thanks Holden
This may be him in 1851 in Leeds HO107 / 2320 / 465 / 11

thanks Sue, This indeed may be him as his mother's age fits as well. She was born about 1779 and baptised in Leeds. Also he did have a sister Mary born in 1823. I wonder if he was married to Mary by 1841. Many thanks holden

Hello yonderpeasant, Yes That's his mother Ann as William also had a brother George whose age fits. It looks like William senior may have died by 1841. Thank you Holden

Hi Sue, Yes thank you very much. I expect there is a funny transcription in 1841 or the family have been missed off for some reason. Thanks again Holden
