Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / Re: 1841/1851 ER Yorkshire/Hull

Thank you Trish1120 for the reply and helpful information.  I'll wait to see if Belen logs in.
I wasn't aware of the 3 postings requirement for exchanging direct messages.

As a newcomer I find there are lots of genealogy abbreviations. I have found the threads to pages that give some abbreviations but would have thought this is so fundamental that an abbreviations page should be included in the RootsChat FAQs itself.  (Is a moderator listening?)

I have just come across your requests for information on the Askam family from the chat posting in 2004 and wonder if you have subsequently found all that you need.  My mother's father was a John Fairburn Askam and we can trace his forebears back to your John Askam in Hull (b c.1800 d. 28.9.1949) together with some of his desendants.  However this does not include the Harriet Askam of whom you were inquiring but does include some of her siblings.  The family name of John Fairburn Askam continues to this day with my cousin.  We are in the Birmingham area.
If you are interested in an information exchange please let me know.
Regards
PlainBob
