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.

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.

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  :-\
Title: Re: Canadian relatives
Post by: nunthorpe mag on Saturday 23 July 22 17:57 BST (UK)
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
Title: Re: Canadian relatives
Post by: JaneyCanuck on Saturday 23 July 22 23:44 BST (UK)
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:

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
Title: Re: Canadian relatives
Post by: JaneyCanuck on Sunday 24 July 22 00:28 BST (UK)
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.
