Hi all,
Looking for help with this.
My gggrandparents George Womersley Armitage (born Huddersfield 1809), and Julia Waring (christened Penistone 1805) were married 24 Dec 1829 at Silkstone church.
Julia's parents' were John Waring/Wearing and Elizabeth Cozens/Cousins. John and Elizabeth were married at Sheffield St Peter's in 1801. I have Elizabeth on the 1841 census (living at Hoylandswaine), but unfortunately John isn't with her and I'm presuming he died pre 1841 - and probably much earlier, as I have only found 2 children born to the couple, Julia, and her brother Thomas (1801)
I am trying to establish who John's parents were, infact I thought I had some ALMOST certains - until someone else sowed doubts. A John Waring was born 1776 in Woolley, his parents were Peter Waring and Julia Lindley, this pair seemed obvious candidates for John's parents as, at least 4 of Peter and Julia's sons, named a daughter Julia after their mother. However, someone else has claimed this John Waring married a widow named Elizabeth Fishburn in 1815, and they were living in Woolley in 1841 BUT, this John Waring according to the 1841 census was born 1766.
Any ideas as to how I can progress with this will be gratefully received.
