Biography

In the 1851 census Michael (age 59) was the married head of household on Henry Street, Durham, England. Elizabeth Humphrey's daughter Isabella Humphrey (abt.1828-1913) became Michael's daughter in law later in the year.^[4]

Research Notes

Another family with very similar names, locations and dates Another Michael Hobson and his wife Margaret had children baptised in Chester-le-Street at about the same time^{[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]}. They are a different family, living in Birtley; father Michael was a waggonwright; several of them were toghether at the time of the census in 1851.^[11]

• Michael Hobson Head Married M 55 Waggon Wright Coxgreen, Durham
• Margaret Hobson Wife Married F 53 Birtley, Durham
• John Hobson Son Unmarried M 31 Engine Wright Birtley, Durham
• William Hobson Son Unmarried M 26 Engine Wright Birtley, Durham
• Margaret Hobson Daughter Unmarried F 23 Birtley, Durham
• Michael Hobson Son Unmarried M 18 Iron Moulder Birtley, Durham

So I don't have enough information to decide which Michael Hobson married Margaret Young on 12 December 1818 in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England.^{[12] [13]}
