Can anybody help me?? I am trying to find details of my great great grandad John Calvert.
His birth is registered
Birth Registered:
John Calvert,reg Hunslet,Mar Qtr,1849,XX111,343.
I am pretty certain this is mine,( his children are later registered in Holbeck,Leeds,
which isnt far from Hunslet) after having loads of difficulties trying to find the right
John Calvert.. Is it possible, anybody could find me this John Calvert's parents etc,
maybe on the 1851 census, or does anybody have access to info that would verify this? In
the 1881 census he says he was born in Woodhouse, however he is registered in Hunslet.Due
to this fact im presuming he means Woodhouse Hill, Leeds, which is in the same area. Does
anybody have access to the 1851 census for Hunslet/Holbeck area??? If so, could you please
look for my John Calvert aged abt 2 please? I have been stuck on this link for ages
now........
Some additional info that might help you, from an earlier posting are:

His son Benjamin Calvert was actually registered as

Benjamins parents were married in Dewsbury too, a year after his birth: Marriages Jun

Then again in the 1891 Census, John Calvert's birthplace seems to change again, but
the family stay the same...
