I am helping friends to research the history of James Patrick Carey who was born on board ship in 1787 returning from India. To date, I have found him in the 1861 uk census under his full name, and also on the 1851 census under the name of Patrick. On both he is listed as being blind and has the occupation of tailor. In 1871 Patrick was listed in the Pontefract Union Workhouse as an inmate. He died shortly after in Pontefract. Any information regarding his birth and his parents would be welcome.

Hi bellababy,

found both Ralph (d22.11.39) and Alberta (d12.7.43) in same grave as Mary Hannah. Ralph was a newsagent when he died aged 72 at No11 Holland Street. Alberta was living at 10 Chemist Lane and was 38 when she died. Occupation listed as wife.

Burial number for Ralph is 14715. burial number for alberta is 15618.

Also at 11 Holland street was  Federick Geeson who died aged 52 on 29.139. He was also a newsagent.

Burial information can be found for most of England on the National Burial Index which can be accessed at most archives. not available on the internet.

If there is anything else that I can help you research, please let me know. I get a buzz from getting results.

Best wishes
AJ

Hi Bellababy
