Title: Megson and or Garton
Post by: Yorkshire_Lad on Tuesday 30 December 25 21:43 GMT (UK)

Hi All
Please forgive me but I am trying in trace any Megson or Garton living within the Holderness area between the mid 19th and 20th century who may have a connection to the Myers family.
My Father (Albert William) was born to John Robert and Pollie (Boyd) in Garton in Holderness on the 13th May 1913.

Have you checked census records etc for the names?

In 1901 there are 418 entries for the surname Megson & 445 for Garton in Yorkshire.

Without christian names & birthyears etc it would be impossible to research

Where does the surname Myers fit into your FH

Mary Garton Megson married John Boyd March qtr 1885 Skirlaugh.  Polly was born 1886 Skirlaugh

1891 census

Hi Carole
Thank you for your reply to my enquiry.
My family name is MYERS.
It turns out that Mary MEGSON GARTON is my G. G. Mother on my fathers side, Polly's mother.
According to the 1891 she was born in Beverley circa 1866.
