I am looking for birth/baptism details for Margaret Metcalfe born, according to the 1841 census, in Ripon in about 1826/27. Her mother was Dorothy Metcalfe (nee Sarginson) and her father was William Metcalfe. Her siblings were Christiana 1823, Rebecca 1831 and William 1834 who were all born in Ripon. Her parents William and Dorothy were married In West Witton in 1821. I have looked Margaret up on several sites but cannot track her down. Can anyone help please.

Is this her in 1841?
John Ellar 40
Ann Foster 35
Mary Jefferson 20
Margaret Metcalfe 15
She is living in Ripon but that doesn't mean she was born there.
Have you found baptisms for her siblings?

Thank you but no this is not the Margaret Metcalf I am looking for. In the 1841 census she was living with her mother and siblings at Low St Agnes Gate, Ripon. The family moved to Walker in Northumberland before the 1851 census and on subsequent census forms she is listed as having been born in Ripon.

Thank you Keyboard86 and Claire.t for your efforts. I think you have found what I am looking for Claire. How can I get a copy of Margaret's baptism record from Ripon Cathederal? I think you people are truly amazing for giving your time to do this research on other people's behalf. I really do appreciate it - my sincere thanks.
