Found them both in the 1851 census with his second wife Jane that he married in 1845 also his two sons Edward and William

Have you found Jane in 1841?
Her maiden name seems to be Hilton. Do you have the full details of the marriage?

Are you certain you have the right birth for Mary Ann?
I mean, I don't know , flailing around here at the moment! Can we have more details?

The one with John and Jane in Durham is the one as Elizabeth died , we believe in childbirth in 1838 when Mary Ann was born. He married Jane Hilton in 1845 and went on to have 5 children, Edward and William being the eldest. A sincere thanks for your help. This is for my grandchildren. It is their late maternal grandmothers family. Lots of it had been done by a great aunt who got quite a bit done before she died.Once again thank you
