Hi, I'm trying to track back on my Atkin ancestry from Hull. I'm descended from Elizabeth (aka Eliza) Atkin, born 1810 in Hull, who married George Empringham in 1883. The IGI record for her christening has her parents as James and Eleanor, but I can't find their marriage. I have found other records for her siblings, and it's the records for the burial of one of these (Eleanor Hall Atkin, 1808-1809) which tell me James was "Captain James Atkin".
But I only have a tentative birth for James, and no sign of him in death or other records, although he may have died before 1841 as he doesn't seem to appear in that census and his wife is living with Eliza and George Empringham - the entries are so limited that they don't record if she was a widow, and she died 1849 so no evidence from later, more detailed, censuses.
Any help most gratefully welcomed.
Phil
