Long Rhoda 1839 Yorkshire Bradford, Bradford, East is what I have found in the GR single line but there are far too many Longs in the area to ascertain her siblings so could some kind person please get me the 1841 census for Rhoda with her family?

Many thanks,
Frances

Thank you MarieCeleste, this burial is the same date as the one I plumped for in FreeBMD.
I have made some suggestions about getting certificates for various family events but the response was not overwhelming......

Copied from the Field thread to keep me on the right track:

I appreciate it is my job to keep you occupied with difficult requests and I would love to know whether your sources can add to my search in Family Search this morning.
Previously we (you) found :
1851
LAMBERT, Margaret Head Widow F 68 1783
Bradford, Yorkshire
>>>LONG, Sarah Daughter Widow F 33 1818 Stuff Weaver
Bradford, Yorkshire
>>>LONG, Rhoda Grand Daughter F 12 1839 Attg School
Bradford, Yorkshire
>>>LONG, Job Grand Son M 9 1842 Attg School
Bradford, Yorkshire
>>>LONG, Ellen Grand Daughter F 3 1848
Bradford, Yorkshire

Mother and daughter seem to have trouble keeping their husbands (alive)

From other info sent to me I have progressed to find the marriage For Sarah's parents
Robert Lambert Marriage: 14 Apr 1803 Thornton in Craven, Yorkshire
Spouse : Margaret Wilkinson

and siblings
Male 13 Oct 1803, Jenny 23 Jun 1805, John 10 Oct 1808, Stephen 21 Nov 1810, Batch C10583-2

but then the trail goes cold. I haven't found a birth for Sarah c.1817 or any others.

Does the 1841 census for Margaret show up - I guess she should have been in Bradford by then.

This is the only Margaret Lambert I'm seeing that fits bearing in mind ages rounded down in 1841:

LAMBERT, Margt F 55 1786 Yorkshire
LAMBERT, Ellen F 15 1826 Yorkshire
HORSFALL, CharlotteF 15 1826 Yorkshire

Piece: 1293 Book/Folio: 6/26 Page: 11
Registration District: Bradford
Civil Parish: Bradford
Municipal Borough: Bradford

Address: Back Of Wharf Street, Bradford, Bradford, East County: Yorkshire

No marital status or relationships given then, Ellen and Charlotte were worsted weavers.

I'm guessing that 1841 is the right family based on this marriage:

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Name: Ellen Lambert
Birth Year: abt 1824
Age: 19
Marriage or Bann Date: 22 Jan 1843
Parish: Calverley, St Wilfrid
Father's Name: Robert Lambert - TAILOR
Spouse's Name: Thomas Tobin (22) Private in 17th Lancers
Spouse's Father's Name: Thomas Tobin - Flax Spinner

Neither married before.

Witnesses: Ellen Stocks and William Hartley

On Sarah's marriage in 1838 one of the witnesses was a Daniel Lambert, I reckon it must be her brother going by this:

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Name: Daniel Lambert - Dyer
Birth Year: abt 1815
Age: 25
Marriage or Bann Date: 27 Sep 1840
Parish: Bradford, Christ Church
Father's Name: Robert Lambert - TAILOR
Spouse's Name: Ann Simpson (23)
Spouse's Father's Name: Benjamin Simpson - Tailor

Neither married before.

Witnesses: William Robinson, Eliza ? Simpson

I think we can be confident that Ellen and Daniel were the siblings of Sarah but i'm not sure about the others you have from Thornton in Craven - that's a bit out of the area.

EDIT: I see from above that Margaret was originally from that area.

This could be another sibling:

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Name: Job Lambert - Delver
Birth Year: abt 1820
Age: 31
Marriage or Bann Date: 10 May 1851
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Father's Name: Robert Lambert - TAILOR
Spouse's Name: Susannah Storey (29)
Spouse's Father's Name: Christopher Storey - Delver

Both single.

Witnesses: John Newson and William Holmes (witness at Rhoda's marriage, too)

EDIT: William Holmes was a witness at lots of weddings - must have been a "professional", he was even a witness at Sarah's remarriage.

Thank you MarieCeleste (perhaps I could 'attach' a rock bun - without candied peel).
My reasoning for the first four of Sarah's siblings is that Margaret got married in Thornton in Craven, in 1803, and the children are born there immediately after her marriage. I find that frequently people alter their 'places of birth' in different census, this could be due to the way the ennumerator couched the question.
It is unfortunate that this family is created during a time sufficiently before 1841 that the family is broken up long before they can be found together in census. Bradford was possibly the biggest 'wool town' in the area at that time and if most of them were living there they don't show up as close neighbours.

Thanks Frances - do you brush your rock buns with beaten egg before baking?

Well, we've also identified 3 more likely siblings now - Daniel, Ellen & Job. Not finding any baptisms anywhere for them so it's tricky to work out where they were born.
