James Fearon b1871 Cockermouth

Yes, we don’t seem to be getting anywhere and I can only reiterate that certificates might be more helpful.
In 1881 5171/11/3
William Clarke has been transcribed as William B but if you look at the census page, it looks like ‘N’. In fact there have been user submissions with corrections to ‘N’ too.

In 1891 4300/115
William Clark has his birthplace as Hensingham. This seems to be in Whitehaven district.
There is a birth December quarter 1861 Whitehaven
William Nevason Clark with no mother’s name.

Yes I checked the three children I mentioned and no mother's name on any of them

[heywood]

Did you already have a birth for William?

Have you found the births for Edmund and Elizabeth?

I don’t think I found them.

William under Fearon
Edmund under Young
Elizabeth Young too b ,Whitehaven

[heywood]

Sorry about this do you have the dates?
I can see
1863 Edmund Young Whitehaven mmn Walker

There is a William Walker Fearon mmn Walker in 1861 but why would he be Fearon?

Both Elizabeth Youngs b Whitehaven have mother’s names too.

Am I going wrong somewhere?

It's like a minefield out there, my brain is mashed lol. Thanks for your help, much appreciated but I think I will leave it for now otherwise we both will be mad

[heywood]

Certificates!
Unfortunately, that seems to be the only way.

Thankyou

Just for your information -  you might want to note for any future search

September 1863 Whitehaven

Edward (often interchanged with Edmund) Young mmn Clark

I found too a possible Elizabeth Clark through censuses to 1861  but no marriage to Mr Young
