George Wainwright c. 1806-1875 - (Bamford - Derbyshire)
I am looking for the ancestors of George Wainwright who was born about 1806. The 1851 census gives his birthplace as Bamford but in later censuses he says he was born in Longsight, Lancashire. From this, I deduce that he may not actually have been born in Bamford but may have lived there or had family there. There are several Wainwright families in the Bamford/Hathersage area but I have been unable to find a birth/christening record there or in Manchester for him. George married Mary Turner around 1830 (no marriage record found) who came from Ranskill in Nottinghamshire and they subsequently lived in Birmingham and Sheffield where George was a brass fender maker. They had 11 children, of whom 4 died in childhood. Thankyou.
Family Surnames: Wainwright, Turner
