Researching the 1841 birth of John Hankinson Appleton/Stockton Heath, Cheshire England stumped me when it came to identifying his parents and finding their census records. In 1864 he married Rosina Craghill and listed his father's name as William with his occupation as tailor. Generally this information, always collected on UK marriage certificates, is very helpful. But I could not find anyone named William Hankinson in Cheshire nor Lancashire or any other likely spot. I ordered several possible birth certificates for John based on free bmd listings, but the father's information never matched.

Rosina Hankinson of Garston/Liverpool: Her Name was Key to Finding a Missing Person
The Hankinson family of Liverpool, England had 9 children, the oldest of whom was William born in 1865. He was with his parents in the census of 1881, aged 16 and a plumber. I could not find him 10 years later in the 1891 census -- not with the family, not alone.
