Looking for information about parents/siblings or descendants of Margaret Alderson b1785 ish Dent/Sedbergh area, Yorkshire
Married Richard Silcock 1807 and had a daughter Alice in 1808
1851 census shows Margaret Silcock living in Lancashire with daughter Alice Lawrenson (record say Lawrance)
Would be grateful for any help with this

Do you think this might be her?
MARGARET ALDERSON
Christening: 18 NOV 1781 Dent, Yorkshire, England
Father: WILLIAM ALDERSON
Mother: ELIZABETH
Or Margaret could have been Peggy --
PEGGY ALDERSON
Christening: 20 MAY 1775 Dent, Yorkshire, England
Father: JOHN ALDERSON
Mother: ANN
PEGGY ALDERSON
Christening: 24 NOV 1782 Dent, Yorkshire, England
Father: EDMUND ALDERSON
Mother: MARY
And there's a Margaret 1808 in that batch, C010451.
Batch C009243 for Sedburgh doesn't show any Margaret Aldersons.
So I haven't been much help, have I?
I don't get the 1851 census. It shows Margaret Silcock as born abt 1802 with a son-in-law named Silcock almost as old as her.
Hmm. Her age actually seems to be 69, not 49 as transcribed by Ancestry, and probably son-in-law John's surname should not be a ditto to hers? Or no, he's a widower, so he was her deceased husband's son i.e. stepson ...?
So anyhow that puts her dob at abt 1882. So she could be that one at the top of the list from the IGI up above. Not that that helps hugely.

have found margaret in a later census, 1861 i think as haven't got my records with me at present
it does confirm her age on 1851 to be wrong, looking at the actual record
very confused about john, he appears in later census with another margaret silcock/lawrenson (margaret snr's granddaughter) who is described as either his daur/niece on the hand transcribed original
thanks for your help, will pm you just in case you don't read this

just avoiding work ...
Alice in the 1841:
Name: Alice Lawrenson
Age: 30
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1811
Gender: Female
Where born: Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Kirkham
Hundred: Amounderness
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Registration district: Flyde
Sub-registration district: Kirkham
Household Members:
Name Age
Alice Lawrenson 30
Thomas Lawrenson 6
A likely death for her husband:
Name: Thomas Lawrenson
Year of Registration: 1839
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Preston
County: Lancashire
Volume: 21
Page: 427
Alice's marriage, I would think:
ALICE SILCOCK
Spouse: THOMAS LAWRENSON
Marriage: 20 SEP 1830 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, England
Batch M007132
Are any of the others in that batch related, do you imagine? --
1. MARGARET SILCOCK - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Marriage: 09 MAY 1836 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, England
2. MARY SILCOCK - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Marriage: 12 DEC 1838 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, England
3. THOMAS SILCOCK - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 03 OCT 1805 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, England
4. ELIZABETH SILCOCK - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Marriage: 03 OCT 1805 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, England
5. ALICE SILCOCK - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Marriage: 20 SEP 1830 Saint John, Preston, Lancashire, England
Alice's birth:
ALICE SILLCOCK
Birth: 08 MAY 1808
Christening: 05 JUN 1808 Sedbergh, Yorkshire, England
Father: RICHD SILLCOCK
Mother: MARGT
Batch P009242
No other Sil/lcock births in that batch.
There's an undocumented submission in the IGI that has John Silcock born abt 1817, of Preston, married to a Rosanna.
The info about the Richard Silcock + Margaret Alderson marriage in the IGI is submitted and not extracted, I'd note. It looks nice and precise, but I'd be looking for documentation before relying on it.
Margaret having a daughter Alice Silcock born 1808 and a son-in-law (= stepson?) John Silcock born abt 1817, in 1851, makes no sense.
This looks like John in 1841:
Name: John Silcock
Age: 24
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1817
Gender: Male
Where born: Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Poulton Le Fylde
Hundred: Amounderness
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Registration district: Flyde
Sub-registration district: Poulton le Fylde
male servant at Rossall? Hall.
(Yes, seems to be Rossall Hall:

Have you figured out where Margaret was in 1841??
