Where did Richard Whittaker come from?

[MEW53]

Family_Past - I see that James and his wife Elizabeth only had one son, Richard, and then Elizabeth died the following year.  I guess you know that James re-married to another Elizabeth and moved to Yorkshire.

I’ve been following this thread and wondered where James Whittaker moved to in Yorkshire ?
Thanks

Hi Family_Past - I've got your PM so will send you my new email address.

MEW53 - first of all James married in 1847 in Staffordshire, his wife died after a couple of years.  In 1851 he re-married also in Staffordshire but by 1861 he was living in Wombwell, Yorkshire with his 2nd wife and his son from his first marriage.  By 1871 the family was back in Staffordshire in Ardsley.  I've not researched them after that, as James is only my husband's 2 x g.g.uncle.

LizzieW,
Thanks for the prompt reply feel free to PM me.

Are you a descendant of the Whittakers?  We normally discuss research on here so that other Rootschatters can help if necessary.  Often someone not connected to the family can find something that we've overlooked.  The reason Family_Past sent me a PM is that we were in contact (not on Rootschat) many years ago, for quite some time and then lost touch, so she was able to PM me to find out my new email address.

My husband’s side of the family are Whittaker’s and came from Yorkshire.
I have done lots of research on this site but mainly on my parents’ side
I spotted the thread and got interested in case there was anything significant as I haven’t done much research on them.
