Townsend William Castleford b 1899

Again, thanks for your input.

I'm new to this so may have misunderstood the records. I think in1891 the Townsend boys lived in the Churmm houshold 75 Terrys Road Whitwood and are flagged as stepsons. I think the names you mention are from his "first" marriage.

also thanks to Suz for this  info

so if catharine Morris in 1851 census  is the one who married a Townsend -it looks like her mother was Ann Millington who married William Townsend  and then married (although not found a marriage) Robert Morris !!!!!

Of course we have yet to find a Morris Townsend marriage!!!!

Sounds like a nice complicated chain - and I think you again for your help.

In parallell I'm looking into the history of why they moved en block to the coal fields of yorkshire - presumably because the new mines were opening and work in sedgely was running out - sI've een some local history for sedgley that implies so

Also seen some Townsends living "next door" in one of the cenus records (which seems an uncanny coincidence) I think it was at 77  Terrys Row Whitwood Castleford in 1891. but I'm going from memory not paperwork

i have a family that moved from sedgley to castleford . it was def 1872-1874 that they made the move. there was a lot of work at that time in the mines and the glass works.

Also discovered recently that the Churm family still live local to me in Castleford - but as I was tacing the Townsend line I have not got in touch. My son went to scholl with their daughter - small world eh !!!
