Title: Whitby Marriage 1888 (Hoggarth, Gibson)
Post by: johnbarleycorn on Wednesday 12 December 07 13:48 GMT (UK)

Hi,

If anyone has access to parish records for Whitby in 1888, I'd really appreciate a lookup of this marriage:

Frances Mary Gibson and Frank Hoggarth

It's in the GRO for Whitby Sep-Dec 1888, vol94 894.

I'm moving sideways here to investigate non-blood relations from this family, who grew up and lived with my own ancestors. For that reason I can't really justify purchasing certificates for all of the offshoots, but nevertheless would like to be sure I'm looking at the correct people. So I'm hoping there will be a parish register containing Whitby marriages without resorting to the GRO every time.

Many thanks,
JB.

Wow, thanks I hadn't spotted that.

That's the third child from that family who was left with relatives while they brought up the rest. I guess it could have been census night but there is certainly a pattern emerging.

Thanks again,
JB.

Hi

Do you have earlier census info for Frank & Frances as I found them with their respective families in 1861/71 and can post details

Hi Carole,

I will look them up on Ancestry to save you the time. Thanks for the offer.

I'm new to RootsChat so I hope this reaches the right people.

Carole, the Mary G(ibson) Lawson referred to in your post is my grandmother. I realise she is somewhat "off your radar" but if you would like more information about her I think I can help somewhat.

I'm looking for information on the Lawson family is George and Mary Jane nee Gibson, Mary G's parents, my great grandparents and their 9 children - I have a few details about these if you are interested.

Hope you can help and I'd be pleased to reciprocate.
