Hi

Not sure of birth years but there are burials in Sandal Magna

Ann Sykes buried 29 May 1824 Bretton, Sandal. Aged 59 years

William Sykes buried 10 Nov 1824 Bretton, Silkstone. Aged 69 years.

Can't find Charles in 1841 either, his last two children were born in Cheshire, Sarah 1839 and Eleannor 1845, so they must be there presuming its the correct Charles.

Wonder if this could be him, taking into account ages were rounded down in 1841, his age is correct  daughter Sarah a year out.

That is more than likely to be him then. Is carter his wife's surname? The deaths for Ann and William are several years out if stating that Ann was born in 1761 and William was born in 1757 which was provided by familysearch.

Please, please, please do not rely totally on Family Search!!!  It is merely a finding aid - you HAVE to look at the parish records themselves!

And in any case, the age at death is merely based on the knowledge of the informant.  Dead people can't speak

I believe that Charles' wife's name is Easter (Esther).

[genealogistsykes]

I always thought that FamilySearch was the parish records, but transcribed and put on the internet. Is there anyway of finding out what William's occupation was? Directories maybe?

Hi

Maybe Charles had a second marriage, to a Sarah.

Death Sept 1842 Stockport~ Esther Sykes

Daughter Elleanor bapt ~ 26 May 1845   , Wrenbury, Cheshire, England. Parents: Charles and Sarah
