Title: Tracing My Great Great Grandfather
Post by: Bobinsky1 on Sunday 11 January 26 15:34 GMT (UK)
Hello

Apologies if I have posted in the wring area but I need some help tracing my great grandfather. All I know is that he had a son called Joseph Garside whose daughter was Doris Garside, my maternal grandmother, born on Jan 17 1916.

Any help in this area much appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you I was just wondering if there was any information available on George Joseph’s father as the trail goes cold after this. Thank you.

Who is George Joseph??

You need to track Joseph b 1867 via the 1871 census onwards to get details of his parents

His birth reg is on freebmd - link shown above - GRO online shows his mmn as Woodhead

Have you looked into Nathan and Betty Garside and James and Sarah Garside who had children baptised 1865 the same time as George and Hannah - daughter Hannah at Bradford Chapelry.

They could be brothers or cousins

Can I just say I am really appreciative of all the new information you have provided me based on your advice as I am not too familiar with this I did a search and discovered Samuel and Maria and as some of the information I have received confirms these two particular individuals I have tens to felt added this to my family tree. For some reason when onto my great grandfather Joseph it broke down but thanks to you great people I was able to work back further - bless you.

Has anyone found a marriage for George Garside and Hannah Asquith? Assuming she was a spinster and Samuel Asquith was illegitimate.
Title: Re: Tracing My Great Great Grandfather
Post by: LizzieL on Monday 12 January 26 13:07 GMT (UK)
I think Hannah Asquith is illegitimate daghter of Martha Asquith and granddaughter of Sparling Asquith and has a brother / half brother Daniel Asquith.

Thank you for your help it’s so much appreciated. So far I have starting from my maternal Grandmother thanks to you all

Grandmother : Doris Garside born 17 Jan 1916 Spen Valley Yorkshire
Great Grandfather : Joseph Garside both appx 1882 Spouse Ann Taylor
Great Great Grandfather : George Garside Spouse Hannah Asquith
Great Great Grandfather : Samuel Garside Spouse Maria Garside

I tried going back beyond Samuel but that is proving quite tough there is a possibility his father was possibly James Garside but I haven’t added anything beyond Samuel for now but that said, thank you so much for all this information - you’ve helped to overcome a significant brick wall.

I apologise if I do anything wrong in my writings as I am only very much an amateur at trying genealogy.

Many Thanks

Thank you I saw Ledgard and wondered but I struggled to find much beyond Samuel. I did find sone possibilities but it was a bit complex and not clear enough to make a confident decision on census searches.

Any help,on Samuel’s parents would be much appreciated.

Thank you it’s finding information on Samuel’s parents that is proving very tough but trying my best as I say I did a census search but the results were inconclusive sadly but I’ll keep at it.

Thank you it’s just becoming a bit complex after this what I found was possibilities (about three - one may have been the same as the other) but one wasn’t near a particular location I think one was Bradford and the other I can’t recall just currently. Nevertheless on the entries I looked at there was a possibility it may have been James, Samuel’s father, but I wasn’t conclusive on this so I didn’t add it to the tree.

With the information I have received from kind people here, I am confident that the lineage from Joseph Garside to Samuel Garside is promising.

There's a Wibsey baptism which looks promising.

Have you looked into Nathan and Betty Garside and James and Sarah Garside who had children baptised 1865 the same time as George and Hannah - daughter Hannah at Bradford Chapelry.

They could be brothers or cousins

Pursuing the Garsides of Wisey, I have found a burial for a James s/o Nathan in Wibsey in 1797. So maybe the later Nathan, mentioned above, was part of the same family.

Possible for elderly Nathan in 1851
Piece   2304
Folio   272
Page number 4

B abt 1770, matches well with baptism in Wibsey s/o Stephen. Maybe James (Samuel's father) was Nathan's brother

Thank you I really appreciate this could James be Samuel’s father? When I did a search it was only a tentative name that I found which is why I didn’t add it to the tree - I do apologise as I am very new to this so I do apologise for my iginorance as I.m still very much learning.
Title: Re: Tracing My Great Great Grandfather
Post by: LizzieL on Monday 12 January 26 15:33 GMT (UK)
Yes I think that Samuel's father might be James. Annoyingly mother wasn't recorded on baptism record. Tracing possibly siblings of Samuel and looking for marriage records might be useful in case Samuel was a witness somewhere. Unfortunately he marked his own marriage record with X so we won't have signatures to compare.

Thank you I have added in James tentatively as being the father of Samuel as it does seem to fit having done further searches and from what you found I am so appreciative.
Title: Re: Tracing My Great Great Grandfather
Post by: Bobinsky1 on Monday 12 January 26 16:02 GMT (UK)
I just wanted to say (sorry for carrying on) that I am now almost certain James was Samuel’s father based on the family search information. Once more, thank you so much for your help to be able to use that information to find James. I am so appreciative.
