Thanks for that Sharon.
I had seen it but would love to know his age at Death.
Hopefully someone has access and will help out here

I too noted that James didn't appear on the census, which makes him difficult to trace, it has only been through his marriage to Elizabeth and their son I was able to find him. Their son Thomas was born in 1856 and he married a lady named Sarah. In the 1881 census they were living in Normanby, and he was a railway clerk. They had a son Arthur, born 1879 in Yorks, Redcar who married a Mary Jane Salkeld. They in turn had a son James Leo Salkeld who was my great grandfather (he married an Ada Hobbs). James Salkeld seems a bit of a mystery. I don't know his occupation, and have only started research online so don't have certificates etc.

Thank you for all you quick replies and help btw!

Hi taevs,
I would strongly recommend that you get that Marriage Cert as it is the only definite way to confirm your Family Line.
You are extremely lucky as it may be the only one you need

You probably have Sarahs name but will post anyhow as others may be searching your Family;

In 1891 Athur is living with his Grandparents in Redcar. Do you have this or shall I post it?

Arthur Married Mary Jane C ROACH, March 1901, Guisbro, 9d 710

1901 Census Arthur is with his In-Laws and Mary Jane in Durham and is down as born 1879, Trimdon, Durham

I now think that I may have found James Parents which would have to be confirmed by his Marriage Cert;

James SALKELD
Christened/Baptised 06 September 1811, Morland, Westmorland, England
Parents THOS (Thomas) SALKELD and AGNES RICHARDSON
(Source Familysearch Pilot)

Now as James and Elizabeth name 2 Children Thomas/Agnes this is a good possibility!

Hi Sharon, I did not know that - I had just looked him up on the 1881 census, but I had a look there at the 1891 one and see what you are talking about. Have you any idea why he would have been looked after by his grandparents in those days?

Trish, I believe there was two James Salkelds born c1810 in the same area, one born to John Salkeld & Elizabeth Thompson, and another to Thomas Salkeld and Agnes Richardson as the 1841 census has two James Salkelds living in Westmorland, so it is working out who is who  

Thanks again!

Have you any idea why James would have been living apart from his wife at the time if he was living with his parents in 1841? Also as he married Elizabeth Loy in 1844 do you believe she was his 2nd wife?
