Hi Hazl.
I think this is the family that you are looking for.
1841 Census Allendale
Elizabeth Whitfield 45
Elisabeth " 10
George " 9
John " 7
Teasdale " 5
1851 Census Swinhope Mill Allendale
Elizabeth Whitfield 58 grocer & tea dealer born Allendale
Elizabeth " 20 born Allendale
George " 19 labourer born Allendale
John " 17 lead ore washer born Allendale
Teasdale " 14 lead ore washer born Allendale
I found the name Teasdale unusual so I noted down this family
they may be Georges grandparents.
1841 Census Allendale
Teasdale Whitfield 65 lead ore miner born Allendale
Mary " 60 born Allendale
John " 25 lead ore miner born Allendale
Sarah " 15 born Allendale
1851 Census Pry House
Teasdale Whitfield 75 retired miner born Allendale
John " 37 lead ore miner born Allendale
Mary Thirwell ? house servant born Allendale
1841 Census
Teasdale Whitfield 25 lead ore miner
Frances " 20
William " 1 month
I hope they are some help to you, it looks like George's father was dead on both Census.
Regards
Shirley
