Harker

1851 Census

The first family we see in 1851 is headed by David Harker:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
HARKER David	Head	46	Agricultural Labourer	West Witton
HARKER Elizabeth	Wife	35		Castle Bolton
HARKER Frances	Daughter	12		West Witton
HARKER Elizabeth	Daughter	7		West Witton
HARKER Isabel	Daughter	4		West Witton

David is unknown. Hethird married Elizabeth Russell 16 May 1843 in West Witton, having previously been married to Jane Scott in 1830 and then to Jane Walker in 1835. The daughter Frances was baptized 15 August 1838 in West Witton, daughter by Jane nee Walker. David and Elizabeth's children are (baptisms in West Witton):

Elizabeth: baptized 2 November 1843
David: baptized 24 April 1845; buried 15 May 1845
Isabella: baptized 15 November 1846

By 1861, David and Elizabeth were living in Castle Bolton.

Next is William Harker:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
MOORE James	Head	37	Clog Maker	Preston

1861 Census

A different Harker is in Redmire in 1861:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace

BELL Matthew	Servant, Unmarried	28	Farm Servant	Walden
HARKER Isabella	Servant, Unmarried	14	Servant	Castle Bolton

Isabella is probably the Isabella, daughter of David Harker and Jane nee Russell. As her parents were living in Castle Bolton by this time, the birthplace is an easy mistake to make.

1871 Census

By 1871, one of David and Elizabeth Harker's sons is back in Redmire:

Robert was born after his parent's were in Redmire in 1851, and is seen with them in Castle Bolton in 1861. He was baptized 24 September 1854.
