Looking for Lucy Driffield on 1871 census.  On 1881 census she is married aged 27 born Haxby.  I found a birth of a Lucy Driffield on freebmd - 1854.  Nothing on IGI unfortunately.  1871 census would be appreciated to give me names of her parents.

With many thanks.

Zephyr

Hi Ambly and Mo

Thank you both very much indeed.  That is great!  I found four families of 'Driffield' on 1881 census living Haxby, one of which is headed up by a HENRY, another being George - both of them being born in Terrington so looks like two brothers which should help me go back a bit further.

Many many thanks for your help - it is very much appreciated.

With very best wishes.

Zephyr

On the 1861 Census, immediately before your Lucy's parents is:

Address: ----------? -------------? -----------?
Head: Francis DRIFFIELD 41, Tile manufacturer master of, b Terrington
Wife: Lucy 22* b Flocton
Dau: Jane Ann 2*  b Haxby
Dau: Hannah   ??months or weeks*  b Haxby
Boarder Thomas -----------? 35, unm, Farmers Servant, b Haxby
Asst: John ---------? 22, unm, Tile Manufacturers Servant, b Bradford Yks

This page, the bottom left half  - where the address, names, age, relationship, gender and marital status columns are for both these DRIFFILED families - is damaged by water mark (like rain). The occupation and POB is clear. Where I have put *, I have checked them on 1871 and found their ages there, to approximate what it must say on 1861. Where it is ?, I can't make it out.

Also, enumerated up from the DRIFFIELDs is a family looks like BITTON - just interesting since your Lucy married a BRITTON or BRITTEN?

This is Francis family 1871, since I looked them up:

1871: Haxby, Yorkshire
Ref: RG10/ Piece 4742-  Folio 14/ Pg 21
Address: None specific given
Head: Francis DRIFFIELD 50, Brickmaker, b Terrington
Wife: Lucy 32, b Flocton
Dau: Jane A, 12, Scholar, b Haxby
Dau: Hannah 10, Scholar, b Haxby
Dau: Esther 8, Scholar, b Haxby
Son: John 4, b Haxby
Son: Fred 2, b Haxby
Dau: Eliza 6 mths, b Haxby

And your Lucy's parents in 1871:
1871: Haxby, Yorkshire
Ref: RG10/ Piece 4742- Folio 12/ Pg 17
Address: None specific given
Head: Henry DRIFFIELD 45, Grocer & Landowner, b Terrington
Wife: Eliza 37, Grocers Wife, b Bridlington Quay
Dau: Louisa 13, Scholar, b Haxby
Dau: Emily 11, Scholar, b Haxby
Son: John H, , Scholar, b Haxby
Son; Tom 5, Scholar, b Haxby

On both the 1861 and 1871, the surname as written could easily be taken for DUFFIELD.

cheers

Hi Ambly

That was very kind of you to send me all that additional census information.

I have been busy on familysearch.  I found a marriage of a Francis Driffield to a Lucy Loadman so I think the Leadman you found on 1871 will be Loadman, and the Hockton will be Flockton.  (Also, Lucy Driffield's father Henry married an Eliza Loadman - nothing like keeping it in the family!)  An Hannah Loadman married a Benjamin Astwick so all in all it all seems to fit - thank you very much indeed for all your help.

I'm very greatful to you - many thanks again.

With best wishes.

Janet
