Thread: Joseph Gawith Ingleton

Hi Col42,

I'm puzzled as to how you know Joseph's birth date but not his father's name. On the census returns Joseph is enumerated as born Ulverstone Lancashire, 1861 - 1891 he's living in Ingleton, 1851 Clapham York's and 1841 Orton.

His baptism is on the igi which also gives his birth date of 30/3/1806.

Joseph Gawith bap. 27/4/1806, Ulverston Lanc's. Father: Joseph Gawith.

Looking at the original census returns I think Jane's place of birth is Fawcett Forest.

There's this baptism.

Jane Barnes, born 22/12/1803, baptised 25/12/1803, at Selside Westmorland, father John of Fawcett Forrest, mother Jane.

Also a probable brother, birth place and details of parents as for Jane. Thomas Barnes, born 29/6/1807, baptised 30/8/1807

Hi slizzy

I got the date of birth from the 1851 census, he was 45 and married to Jane, and from Family Search when he his living with his daughter Ellen who in the 1881 cencus is listed has the head, and a Inkeeper presumably at the craven Heifer in Ingleton, taking over the licence from Joseph who was then 75 and listed has a retired publican. Ellen was then married to John Atkinson Tomlinson.
