Nunthorpe, you are looking for living family? If you look at www.canada411.ca there are only 16 Yarrow listings in British Columbia. The odds would be that some of them are related, I would think, given that it is not a common surname.
In particular, there is one in Sechelt BC, where Edward Yarrow died.
-
Thanks for that Janey.......I've found a couple of cousin's on facebook but they can't tell me much

Just a thought, have you tried the New Westminster Library to see if you can get an Obituary for Thomas Yarrow Snr, which might give the married names of the girls ??? There is a contact us on the link below.

Hi Sandra thanks for the extra info, regarding Thomas Yarrow 1886-1950 I can not find a birth record anywhere so I have no idea for sure who his mother was Steve
-
Oh no :-\ - Have you asked that question on the Northumberland board ? Just in case a "RootsChat Genius" finds him mis-transcribed :-\
Sandra
-
Could he have been registered as Bell in Morpeth district ?
Sandra

Could this be him ? Registered June 1884 ?

I think that’s a different Yarrow family, living in Bedlington in 1891 (in Morpeth RD).
If 1887 Thomas was born in Earsdon his birth ought to be registered in Tynemouth RD :-\
-
I have tried everywhere no luck,his father Henry Ogle Yarrow married Mary Henderson Todd in 1851 she died in 1873 his second wife Elizabeth Leybourne he married in 1897 also there was a girl Annie born about 1888 again no birth record I'll fust have to live with it ;D
-
The 1897 Henry Ogle Yarrow marriage in Tynemouth is to either Elizabeth Elsey or Elizabeth Maxwell.
Her birth surname was Leybourne?
Marriages Sep 1873
Evans Mary Frances Durham 10a 570
? LEYBOURNE Elizabeth Durham 10a 570
? Maxwell Ralph Durham 10a 570
MULHOLLAND Paul Durham 10a 570
My suspicion might be that Henry and Elizabeth married when they were both free to, i.e. when her husband Mr Maxwell had died. His name is fairly common so it would mean checking censuses for his age, and so on, but this might be a candidate:
MAXWELL, ROBERT age: 53

duplicated it, see next post

1881 census
Henry Murrow Yarrow 52 (corrected by an Ancestry user)
Henrietta Murrow 18
Edwin Murrow 16
Widower, Farmer, Cullercoats Farm, Tynemouth
born Wolf Hall, Northumberland, England
1861 in same place
Henry Ogle Yarrow 32 Head
Mary Henderson Yarrow 29 Wife
Hannah Yarrow 8 Daughter
Lancelot Hedley Yarrow 5 Son
Isabella Yarrow 3 Daughter
Willm Yarrow 1 Son
1891 in Wallend
Henry Yarrow 51 Head
Thomas Yarrow 4 Son
If there had been a daughter Annie, she might have been with him.
EDIT -- no, that Henry is a decade+ too young.
No ... widower, gardener, born Wolf Hill. Looks like him, getting younger as he got older, as people then were wont to do.
Son Thomas born Earsdon.
I've kind of forgotten what the question was 10 years ago. ;)
The fact that Henry O's eldest daughter was Hannah would match with this baptism:
Name: Henry Yarrow
Baptism Date: 18 Apr 1824
Baptism Place: St. Andrew's, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England
Father: Henry Yarrow
>> Mother: Hannah
1841 not with family
Henry Yarrow
1826 Durham, England
Aycliffe, Aycliffe, Durham, England
His father in 1841?
(Note that your Henry had children Isabella and Lancelot)
Henry Yarow 80 farmer
Robert Hedley 25
Isabella Hedley 20 (probably Isabella Yarrow, daughter?)
Lancelot Hedley 15
Iwand Hedley 15
Henry Hedley 10
-
So I truly am confused about the question.
Is it about the birth of Thomas Yarrow, son of Henry?
YARROW, THOMAS LOFTUS mother RIDLEY
GRO Reference: 1888 M Quarter in NORTHALLERTON Volume 09D Page 609
Looks about right?
No Yarrow-Ridley marriage, but could have been a second for her.
Except hm, Thomas Loftus seems accounted for:
Marriages Sep 1923
Yarrow Thomas L Bowes Thirsk 9d 933
Deaths Jun 1955
YARROW Thomas L 67 York 2d 728
....... and in the 1891 with parents James and Margaret, so nope, not him.
-
, regarding Thomas Yarrow 1886-1950 I can not find a birth record anywhere so I have no idea for sure who his mother was
The death registration informant didn't know his mother's name, but names his father, and other info:

Thread updated from 2012..............
You probably have exhausted every avenue looking for the birth records of Thomas and Annie - this was a note on the Berglund Family tree info :-
1885 - Not marriage; "relationship" btwn 1885-1889 (when Thomas + Annie Yarrow conceived/born). Henry, widow of Mary Henderson Todd (she died btwn 1871-1881 censuses). Mary was Jane's sister. Jane (+ her kids) lived with Thomas, while married to Edward Bell.
Tree Notes that Jane Todd born 1844 Morton/Murton Northumberland died in 1907 Salford Lancashire. Buried in the same grave as her daughter Emma Bell born 1873 who died in 1927.
