Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Father 1921 Census
« on: Sunday 09 January 22 21:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
It's a long time since I have used RootsChat and particularly the East Riding Forum please excuse me if I appear to be a bit green in its processes.
However, I have just found my father, Albert William Myers living in Burstwick with his mother, father and 5 siblings in the 1921 census.
I am unable to unscramble the name for the farmer my grandfather works for and the name of the farm. Any help in deciphering would be most appreciated.

TIA

Hi Jamjar

Further to your post of 02:49 today.
the following people are I think linked to Richard and Annie

SHERWOOD, JOHN  HENRY mmn JOHNSON
GRO Reference: 1885  M Quarter in HULL  Volume 09D  Page 289

SHERWOOD, WILLIAM  EDWARD mmn JOHNSON
GRO Reference: 1887  M Quarter in HULL  Volume 09D  Page 241

SHERWOOD, RICHARD mmn JOHNSON
GRO Reference: 1888  S Quarter in BEVERLEY  Volume 09D  Page 111

I do have a photo copy of a marriage Certificate between a Albert Whiting and a Annie Sherwood who was noted as a 36 year old spinster. However one of the witnesses was a J H Sherwood who I believe to be the J H Sherwood in your list.
Thank you for you help.

Hi
 All I know of my uncle Bob (Robert) is that he was captured by the Italians (possibly Cyrenaica) and imprisoned. At some time he escaped and made his way to Switzerland, beyond that I have no other information. I would be glad of any other information on his escapades. TIA.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / Thomas Herbert MYERS
« on: Wednesday 28 May 14 17:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I have recently moved from the West Riding of Yorkshire to a small hamlet on the coast of East Yorkshire by the name of Cowden. Cowden is about 3 miles south of Hornsea. Having researched my paternal family, Hornsea and its surrounding villages are mentioned quite often.
Hornsea as a Garden of Remembrance where there is a memorial stone which is dedicated to those who fell in the two great world wars. One of those mentioned is Thomas Herbert Myers who too my surprise appears in my family tree - second cousin three times removed.
Thomas was born in Atwick a small hamlet about 2 miles north of Hornsea on the 25th July 1874.
I know nothing about his life until his marriage to Elizabeth Wetherston(e) in the 4th quarter of 1909. Elizabeth was born in the 4th quarter of 1882 in Hednesford, Staffordshire and appears as a Silk weaver living in Bingley West Yorkshire
In the 1911 census Thomas is a Able Bodied Seaman on board HMS "Mutine" whilst his wife is living at 14 Marlborough Ave, Hornsea having had no children.
Thomas loses his life whilst serving on board HMS "Defence" at the battle of Jutland on 31st May 1916.

Can anyone help me? I need to know if Thomas & Elizabeth had any children between 1911 and 1911 and did Elizabeth remarry after Thomas' demise.
