With many thanks and kind regards,

Sorry.

Thank you for looking him up for me. At least I have his occupation and witnesses to his wedding. I thought he too would have been born in Whitby as Mary Coulthirst had been. Thank you again, its much appreciated

Hi there,

I wonder if you are still ok to look up within the parish registers for St Marys, Whitby.
If so, I would really appreciate a look for the baptism of Robert Harrison. I suspect there may be several.

I know that he married at St Mary's in 1798 to Jose Wilkes and that he was a bachelor and schoolmaster.
I am trying to find his baptism and hoping it is in Whitby, St Marys.
I would hazard a guess he was in his 20s to 30s when he married. They had a child in Sleights in 1799.
Thank you

Post by: Gary Allison on Saturday 13 May 23 14:05 BST (UK)
Hi.

Thanks very much for that. Richard & Martha look like they could be her parents but they are not recorded as being from Whitby. The odd thing re Hannah is that she died after her husband & those children who died but there are gravestones for them but nothing re her. I suppose they mat have split or she changed religions & is buried in an unmarked grave somewhere else in Whitby. I know a daughter Susannah Race m. Francis Allison, my forebears, & despite the Race family mostly being poverty stricken, William Race had made  himself somewhat wealthy & he paid for Susannah & Francis to come to Australia. I take it that Hannah was not agreeable. Francis & Susannah married at Folkton with no family members.

Cheers,

Gary.
