Post by johnPost by Steve HayesFor what it's worth the person I was looking for was a John
Miller who married Margaret Hardman in Scotforth, Lancashire in
Dec 1879.
In the 1881 Census he is shown, still in Scotforth, with his
wife Margaret and infant son William. So he is the one I am
looking for. He is aged 23, which means he was born about
1858/59. And his birthplace is given as Ingleton, Yorkshire,
England.
Searching FreeBMD for a John Miller born in Yorkshire gives two
districts with an Ingleton in it -- Teesdale and Settle.
Hence my question about which Ingleton and where was it likely to
be, since a John Miller was born in each of them at the relevant
time.
From Familysearch.org
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 Name: John Miller Event
Type: Christening Event Date: 7 Aug 1859 Event Place: Ingleton,
Ingleton, York, England Gender: Male Father's Name: James Miller
<--------- Mother's Name: Lydia <--------- Record Number: 70
It is the Ingleton in the Sub-District of Bentham in the
Registration District of Settle not the Ingleton in Teedale
Thank you.
The problem, however, is that I am not sure that that John Miller is
the one I am looking for, the one who married Margaret Hardman.
As I said, FreeBMD shows two born in the relevant period, one in
Settle distirc and the other in Teesdale, both of which have an
Ingleton, which is why I was asking for help in determining which
Ingleton was which, and which country which was in.
But since discussion seems to have moved to the particular family
I'm researching, let me explain that.
Yes, I initially thought that John Miller, son of James and Lydia,
was the one I was looking for. But I wanted to look at the other one
too, but couldn't find anything, except in the 1871 census, where he
is shown as aged 12, living with his grandparents, His grandmother
was Martha Durham, and that makes him seem more likely, because on
his marriage register entry he gives his father as William Durham
Miller, and that makes the James and Lydia one seem less likely.
But I have not been able to find that John Miller in the 1861
census, or any record of him with his parents to show who they were.
This is a bit messy, incomplete and some oddities needing to be resolved

But William's wife is listed as Margret (so is Margret = Elizabeth?)
(No obvious William-Margret marriage except for this, which I didn't
have time to resolve (I would suspect the two Irish names, Heffernan and
O'Donnall go together but haven't checked?)
