Hi Geoff and Evie,
I found Hugh, Ann, Elizabeth, Joseph Hugh, John and Sarah in 1841 in Thurnham, Lancaster, Lancashire. The 1851 census gave me their places of birth.
Elizabeth (1825) and Joseph (1827) were born in Penrith.
John (1832) was born in Wigton and Sarah (1838) in Thurnham, Lancaster.
Strangely, Hugh (1782) was born in America and Ann (1796) in Ireland. That's where the trail goes cold! Ireland is impossible, because I don't even know which county to start looking in. As the American revolution was going on about the time of Hugh's birth, the records don't give much in the way of details. Only the head of household and number of people in the family. Of course, I can't find any Hugh.
I'll check the IGI batches again, Geoff, for other denominations. I think I've checked them before, but maybe I missed something.
Many thanks to both of you for your help.
Sharon
