My 2 x great grandparents were William Blackburn born about 1833 in Painthorpe and Hannah Wood born about the same year in Grimethorpe. They married on 8 June 1856 in Leeds. William had adopted the middle name of Depledge (his mother's maiden name) by the time he married. Their first child was Hannah Elizabeth Blackburn registered Leeds district Q2 1857. I have the family on 1861 census living in Ardwick, Manchester, Lancs. William is a waiter in a hotel,
1871 in Wakefield, William is a Crushman?? or maybe Coachman (His father Matthew was a coachman on his marriage record)
1881 in Crigglestone, William is a foreman in a paper warehouse.
The next child after Hannah - Charles William Blackburn was born in Bramhope Yorks and baptised there on 15 Aug 1858. Reg Q3 Otley district, so he must have actually been born towards the end of Q2. Later children were born in Yorks or Lancs
So it seems that the family was based in Yorkshire with occasional moves to Lancashire.
However, today I found the baptism of Hannah Elizabeth, according to both Ancestry and FindMyPast it was in Buriton, Hants on 4 Oct 1857. Both sites quote Familysearch as the source. Is this a case of a whole chunk of records being indexed in the wrong location as I believe has happened sometimes with family search, or did the family go briefly to Hampshire - not a holiday as my tongue in cheek title suggests - but for work?. William was a waiter in a hotel on 1861 census. He was a butler on his marriage record.
