Hi all,

I have the baptism record of William Liversidge 1747 from All Hallows Church, Almondbury, unfortunately I can't decipher the place of abode. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Thanks to all for your thoughts, looks like the content will have to stay a mystery

Hi all,

Selby High School is appealing for help from our Selby Community. As many of you know, staff and students have invested a lot of time and research working on the community Legion Poppy Project.

We have kindly been lent a sketchbook by the granddaughter of William Charles Brown who had once lived in Ebor Street in Selby and was killed in February 1916. He was one of the soldiers involved in our community Legion Poppy Project.

This image is the only page in the sketchbook that is written in shorthand so we are desperate to try and decipher its meaning. So far we have worked out that it is a message involving landmarks and possible instructions of some kind, but we have yet to uncover the entire meaning.

Thanks in advance

Yes that makes sense, after reading your findings I have managed to understand some of the words that were causing the trouble. I was mixing the words neice and sister just to name a few.

Thanks for your help :)

hi Jim1,

thanks for the reply  :)

Yes Henrietta died in 1841, she was born in 1761 to parents Benjamin Rew and Sarah Skears.
Her husband was William Whiston 1745 - 1819

One of her siblings was Sir Skears Rew, former Mayor of Coventry.

Hi sarah,

the image file is 6.05mb in total so still too large to post even in segments.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / The will of Henrietta Whiston
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 11:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, can any members of this board help decipher the will of Henrietta Whiston.
I can make out bits of the will and some of the beneficiaries, the problem is the family connections to Henrietta don't correspond with my information although the names are correct.  Posting the will on the forum is not possible as it is too large.

I would be most grateful if any members are willing to have the file emailed to them for deciphering.

Thanks in advance
