As I said earlier only the Marriage Cert will give you the answer.
I have just set out possibilities although I would go with the one to Thomas and Agnes as the other one is Married to a Mary and with her in all Census entries.

Just because he was with the Parents on Census night does not mean he was living there all the time but as Father was elderly would have helped out. He still managed to spend time with Elizabeth to conceive Children though

There could be many reasons why he was with his grandparents, I have seen it a lot in those days and have many examples in my tree also.

His parents are living in Skipton with children John, Mary Agnes & Thomas H & a sister in Law Mary Jane Steadman (born Great Crosby, Westmorland).

(My Salkelds have not been easy either)

Thanks, I am going to purchase the marriage certificate so I will post what it tells me when it arrives! It's a shame the census doesn't go further back than 1841.

Is there anywhere other than census and IGI I would be able to discover more about James and his parents? I am still confused as he was married in 1841, although he is listed as not marrying Elizabeth until 1844.

Sharon, I thought as Salkeld was an uncommon name it would be quite easy to trace but its proving harder than I thought. I dread to think what my other side of the family will be like as the surname is slightly more common!

ETA - Night Trish, thanks for your help.

My mistake by the way - have just realised the census I am looking at is 1851, not 1841, so Elizabeth may well have been his first wife. Oops!

[Sharon01]

Actually I also thought that Salkeld was an uncommon name but after a few years researching them I have come to realise the in North England (Westmorland, Cumberland, Durham & Northumberland) it is a very common name. I have a big Salkeld tree but am also stuck and can not get any further back than 1814.
