Thanks for all of that Liz. At work so I'm afraid it will all have to work

 

John Y Jenkins is proving difficult to pin down in census returns. I've found baptisms for two children, namely Alice Calveley Yonge Jenkins and William Griffith Jenkins, both baptised Cheshire (parish records on FMP), also found the two children at school (boarders) in 1851, and Alice's marriage which has interesting witness names. However I cannot find Alice with certainty between 1851 - 1885.
