Urgently need help with anyone who may have a record for George KENDALL, born 1789-91 in Yorkshire. George was NOT born in Doncaster area (I have done extensive research there if anyone needs to know of any Kendall records there), however he did marry Elizabeth BARRETT in 1811 in Thorne. (Elizabeth was born in Fishlake). George, Elizabeth and their children Enoch, Elijah, George Jr., Elizabeth and Eliza, along with their married daughters Ann (married George WILKINSON) and Sarah (married William STONE) all left from Hull to Canada about 1842, settling in Ontario.

I suspect that George was born in the area around Leeds or York, but do not really know. I have a clue on the 1841 Census from Thorne, where it shows a Joseph Kendall aged 12, not a son, living with George and his family. I believe that Joseph was born in Warthill. It is quite possible that Joseph was a nephew? Joseph is the same age as George's son, Elijah, at the time of the Census.

I will be visiting in Leeds and York in mid-April for a week, and hope to continue my research, but I need that one critical record to get me going!

Many thanks!
