Hi

Beverley Archives have the following Registers for Scarborough:

As per Genuki, Scarborough
Deposited Registers (EYRO)
    * Baptisms: 1687-1987
    * Marriages: 1687-1977
    * Burials: 1689-1901

Not sure where the Burials will be for 1901-1904.

I have tried to get into the Beverley Archive site but unfortunately it isn't playing ball tonight but you should find it via:
http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/cs/culture-and-information/archives/archive-search-help/?acat=7486

Contact button for them at the bottom of their page.

Hello again,
I am looking for:
1) William Wilson b about 1829 died March quarter 1890
2) Jane Wilson b about 1824 died December quarter 1904

If you should come across their names that would be a huge help.
Thank you for your offer, it is appreciated as I do not live in England anymore.

Hi Janet,

No problem but unfortunately the records only go up to 1901 for burials. 

EYFHS published a book for St.Mary's Scarborough MI's, but not sure which dates they cover, will have a look for it at the archives just in case there are some entries in it for Wilson's.

Gill
P.S. Welcome to RootsChat :)

Hi Janet,

Not much to report & the only ones I found were:

St.Mary's, Scarborough Burials PE165/51
No.75  Jane Wilson/Scarborough/19th December 1889/Age 72
No.80  William Wilson/Scarborough/2 January 1890/Age 57
No.92  William Wilson/Scarborough/3 February 1890/Age 60

No addresses mentioned.

Unfortunately the Scarborough MI's were missing & the records only went up to 1901 as mentioned previously.

Number 92 is the correct William Wilson ... it is a little more data and I am happy for any scrap that comes my way.
Thank you for looking for me, it was kind of you to offer.
Janet
