Margaret Norfolk Baptism lookup possibly Knaresborough about 1780-90s

[geordiesue]

Hi Im trying to find a baptism for my 4 x great grandmother Margaret Norfolk. She was married to James Bolt at Knaresborough, St Mary on 21st September 1816.

Children of James Bolt and Margaret nee Norfolk were
 Ann Bolt 1817 in Whitby
 James Bolt 1821 Knaresborough
Charles Bolt 1823 in Knareborough
James occupation was a

James was born 29th July 1787 and baptised in Whitby, Yorkshire on 6th August to parents James Bolt and Mary Coulthirst

There dosent appear to be a baptism for a Margaret Norfolk in Whitby or Knaresborough but possible parents could be Charles Norfolk from Knaresborough and Sarah Wright,
Charles Norfolk was born in 1766 and married Sarah Wright born 1768 both were botn in Knaresborough. The marriage took place 30th May 1787 in Knaresborough. The only baptism I have found for this couple is Robert Norfolk born 1788 in Knaresborough, non-confirmist.
There is a death for Charle`s wife Sarah in 1799 in Knaresborough and it seems likey that Charles remarried Ellen Cartnil on 10th June 1815 in Knaresborough. I have found Charles and Ellen on the 1841 census and again on the 1851 census where they are both in the workhouse in Knaresborough.

I wondered if anyone could help find a baptism for Margaret as I dont know if there is any connection with Charles

There is a 1795 birth in Durham on FS for a Margaret Norfolk - father Charles

Is she on a census confirming her birthplace?

Hi Carole

I`m not sure whether it is the same baptism I have come across in 1795 in Darlington = father Charles but I thought they seemed quite far apart. On the map its a distance of 25 miles. Unfortunately she died in 1828 aged 32 in Stokesley so I don`t have a census to confirm it.

As James/Margaret Bolt name a Son Charles the Margaret born Durham seems a good possible.

Also 1851 Census in Knarlesborough Workhouse we have;

Charles Norfolk, 24, born Knaresbro, Yorkshire
Ellen Norfolk, 77, born Burton Leonard, Yorkshire

Image for Charles is 84, c 1767

1841 Census
Charles Norfolk   75
Ellen Norfolk   61

Given age difference Ellen may be a second Wife for Charles.
