There are a number of George Marsdens in Yorkshire in
the time period in question but this one has a daughter
named Mary who was born in 1839. George and his family
are found in the census of Morley from 1841 on through
to at least 1881. He consistently gives his birthplace
as Middleton.
The 1841 census has a small error in that daughter Mary
is placed with the family next door, but house number 600
is written over her entry to indicate she belongs with
George.
George and Susannah's marriage record shows that he is the
son of John Marsden and she is the daugther of James
Broadbent. George's occupation is given as Miner, an
occupation he keeps until 1861 when is given as a "farmer
of 8 acres" and we find him continuing to farm in later years.
Coal mining and wool production are the two common occupations
that the children pursued.
