Good Morning everyone,
I am in the middle of researching my partner's Auntie Margaret's family tree. I am looking at the Precious side of her family. I have got a little bit stuck now ???
Her line goes back to a Thomas Precious, born 1816 in Wetherby, who was a basket maker in Ripon.
I have also found Edward Precious, born 1811 in Wetherby, who was a Brewer in Leeds, John Precious, born in 1813 in Wetherby, who was a wood sawyer in Bradford, David Precious, born 1818 in Wetherby, who was a wheelwright in Wetherby and George Precious, born in 1820 in Wetherby, who was a blacksmith in Wetherby.
I have 5 men all born around the same time in Wetherby-could they be related?
David was christened 11 Jan 1818 in Wetherby - states his parents are John Precious and Lydia Sels.
George's father- according to his marriage certificate, is called John Precious, a brewer.
On the 1851 census Lyda Precious born 1835 in Kirkstall is visiting Thomas Precious in Ripon....Edward has a daughter called Lydia Precious born 1835 in Kirkstall.
Could really use some help here please, am I on the right track or am I totally confused ???
Thank you, Carrie :D :D :D

Images are on FindMyPast. A little more information from the registers:
John - John Senior is "Servant to Mr Rhodes, Brewer"
Thomas - Labourer
David - Labourer
George - Labourer
-
I can't access the dataset which covers up to 1812.
That's "West Yorkshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1512-1812"
But there do appear to be a couple of candidates for other sibling(s)

John Preciouse - born 17 March, baptised 1 June 1806 - Labourer
Mary Ann Preciouse - born 22 January, baptised 28 August 1808 - Labourer
Edward Preciouse - born 12 December 1810, baptised 3 February 1811 - Labourer

John Preciouse - born 17 March, baptised 1 June 1806 - Labourer
Mary Ann Preciouse - born 22 January, baptised 28 August 1808 - Labourer
Edward Preciouse - born 12 December 1810, baptised 3 February 1811 - Labourer
Confused - Are you saying that John, Mary Ann & Edward all Labourers ???
-
I suspect BumbleB & PaulineJ are saying the FATHER John was stated to be a labourer on the child's baptism entry.

Sorry, ozigal :'( josey is absolutely correct - occupations are for John, not the babies ;D
