Thank you very much Dee, that first family is certainly them, wonder what happened to Elizabeth though? Looks like we have the mum for David as well which is brilliant! Are they all born in the county?

Oh, also is there an occupation for David please?

All born in the county, I think Davids occupation is farmer.

There is something written in the next column next to Hannah Bradley, can't quite work it out though!!!!

Looks like Hannah Porteus should be included in the household.

Thank you very much Dee, Later censuses state that David was born in Bulmer, Yorks so will see what I can find for Bradley marriages to Hannahs in the area on IGI. Haven't been able to find a marriage for David and Mary (think they must have married prior to 1837 (if at all!)) so rather stuck on her family for the time being.
