Hi all. Being good and obeying the rules I am using this old Checkley thread to ask for the 1841 census for Job Checkley who was born in 1829 in:-

Name: Job Checkley
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 19 Jan 1829
Christening Place: NAPTON ON THE HILL,WARWICK,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Job Checkley

Mother's Name: Eleanor

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C04659-1 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 502292

I believe he has a son Charles in 1842 but I cannot find a marriage for Job in FreeBMD or FamilySearch and wonder if he has a wife by 1841 please?

Many thanks,
Frances

I did look for them in FreeBMD but didn;t realize they were in Leeds at that time nor their precise dates. So a big thankyou for everything you have found.

I think in 1880 while his father was posted to Cork, Ireland

Here is a baptism of one of their children

Name: Charles Kederick (could be Frederick) Checkley
Parish: Napton on the Hill
Baptism Date: 9 Jan 1876
Father's Name: Charles Checkley occ Sergeant in the Army
Mother's name: Eliza Checkley
Abode: 22nd Regiment, 1st Battalion stationed at Fleetwood

Didn't Aunt Marion tell you where she was born?

If you'd looked for the births...................................!

Thank you Jacqueline but the information came from Aunt Marion nee Checkley so probably fairly accurate.

And Francis Henry was born..........when, please?

As again you have hit the nail on the head and Francis Henry was born in Cork but the family then returned for the later children.

Look for births for the names you give

How did you work back to these people?

Do you have any factual info about children.......or is it all hearsay?

Charles' occupation on his Marriage Certificate was Sergeant this being the case and if he was still in the Army in 1881 census he and his family could be overseas......just a thought

Use familysearch, as I just have, to find info
