Looking for George and Elizabeth Wrightson on 1891 census.  George (born Husthwaite) is a Corn Miller and would be about 56, Elizabeth (born Elvington) 55.  There may or may not be daughters Lavinia aged 20 and Blanche aged 16 living with them.  On 1881 census living in Yapham.  On 1901 census living Kirk Hammerton.

Information on their whereabouts would be very much appreciated.

With many thanks.

Hi Pam

Thank you very much for that info.  On 1881 census Blanche is down as Blanche H.  I hadn't been able to find her birth but now, with your census info, I have found a Harriet B Wrightson born Sep qtr 1874 which fits.  Why do they change their names!!!  I have also found her marriage under Harriet B.....

Thank you very much for your info and for giving me lead on her being called Harriet.

With very many thanks for this and all other help you have provided me with.

Best wishes.
