Lydia b.1799 Sheffield
children:
William b.1831 Eckington, Sheffield
Edwin b.1833 " "
Thomas b.1836 " "
Charles Edward b 1839 Eckington, Sheffield
Ref details - HO107 piece 195 fol 20 page 10.
1851 England Census is as follows:
Thomas, head, b 1799 Scotland, occupation now Grocer
Lydia, wife b.1799 Eckington, Sheffield
Thomas, son, b 1836 " " - Grocer's Assistant

Hope this helps

Thank you , I will pass all this on.
I still haven't connected our families together yet, but I need to knock down my own brickwalls first with brothers and sons that may connect with my friend's people... if I give you some details could you bash them down too???

Assuming Thomas married Lydia before the birth of William ie 1831, the way to find it will be via parish records, as too, the childrens births. As for Thomas's birth you will need to find out where in Scotland he was born and consult the church records there (sorry do not know much about Scottish records).

Perisama,
You could try Scotlandspeople website, you can search the parish records but it's a pay per view site so you'd have to register and buy some credits. It helped me when I searched for some of my Scottish ancestors.
Good luck,
Elaine
