stockport 1851 and 1861 census

[Alex and Jan]

Could SKS look up these censuses for us please ?
We are looking for John and Sarah Williamson who married in 1850
A daughter Hannah was born in 1853
They came to Australia some time after that, not sure when.
Thanks for any help,
Alex and Jan

Hi Darcy

     There seems to be quite a lot to choose from, is the John Williamson the one that married Sarah Ruddock 1850 St Mary Cheadle ? 

     It may be best to obtain the fathers names from the marriage certificate then they could be found 1841 as well ?

John Williamson married Sarah Ruddock
Hannah born Stockport age 19 in 1872 when married here in Australia.
We don't have any more details as we cannot find the shipping records and don't have John and Sarah's marriage certificate as Hannah's only came yesterday (Aussie certs have both parents not just the father on the UK ones)
Thanks for looking,
Alex and Jan

Hi,
I'll be going to Stockport library at the weekend. so if you can wait I'll have a look at the Cheadle St Mary marriage register and let you know if I find anything.
Pat.

Hi Peter, 

there are quite a few possibilities for the parents John & Sarah Williamson but the entry for Hannah Williamson is much easier. I was about to post these two entries when redshank beat me to it.   One is the same finding for Hannah aged 8, as redshank posted. Here is the full entry.

 1861 Census   Cheadle Bulkeley  RG9/2567  Folio: 116  Page: 19

Hunt Street

Thomas Williamson, head, 57, Band Maker ( employing 2 men & 7 boys ), Stockport
Hannah, wife, 59 , Stockport
William, son, un, 22, Band Maker, Stockport
Hannah Barrat,t dau, Mar, 27, Cotton Weaver, Stockport
Samuel Williamson, son, un, 22, Band Maker, Stockport
Eliza, da, un, 19, Cotton Weaver, Stockport
Esther, dau, 14, Cotton Weaver, Stockport
Joseph Barratt, grandson, 4, Stockport
Hannah Williamson, grand dau, 8, Domestic Servant, Stockport
Elizabeth Waters, sister, mar, Stockport

The best match for Hannah's parents I can see is the one I posted .Going by the birthplaces and the fact that this John Williamson's son is a Band Maker.
