Thank you, this is all so much clearer to me now. I really do appreciate all your hard work.

Thanks to you, I've managed to find a few more children from this family.

Sadly, two of them must have died close together. A Mary Grayton aged 5 and a William Grayton aged 14th months are both buried on the same day in 1841, residence listed as Hulme. I was able to trace their baptisms and find that they were both children of Charles and Amelia. Awful thing of them to have gone through, but sadly too common at the time I suppose.   :'(

It's horrible to find out, but it's good to be able to paint a picture of what their lives were like.

No wonder there was confusion,  it was most likely to be Knottingley
