Lincolnshire / Re: Shelbourne family and their ancestors
« on: Thursday 20 February 25 15:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
 Apologies for the slight delay replying, but I have just returned from a weekend visiting the Shelbourne family....I will try to explain as simply as possible.
  Firstly I am only related to them by marriage, as follows
    My sister in law Jane Harper b.1955 is married to Paul Michael Shelbourne, b. 1955, they married in Oct. 1978 in Leeds.  Paul's parents were Fred Shelbourne 1929-1995 and Edna Bray 1931-2011, they married in 1953. Paul's paternal grandparents were Wilfred Shelbourne 1892-1957 and Amelia Whitehead 1896-1965, who married in 1919. Wilfred was the older brother of William Herbert of 1896 fame, and they were two of the six children of John William Shelbourne and Mary Jane Pulford.
  I hope this is easy to follow, I do have various bits of information on several generations going further back and also on the maternal side of the family if you need any.
  Keep in touch if there id anything I can help with.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / William Green of Cudworth
« on: Saturday 16 November 24 11:59 GMT (UK)  »
I hope that someone maybe able to clear up a little bit if confusion regarding William and his family, please. William was born in 1720, bapt 18/6/1720 at Royston St. John and married Elizabeth Armitage there  17/11/1743. they seem to have had three children, Joshua, Sally and Anne before his wife died in 1746. It appears that William then went on to have seven more children before his death in 1767, including another Joshua. I think confusion reigns partly because William's father was also called William, and outlived his son, as was one of his own  sons...something that was quite common, also I cannot find a mother anywhere for his seven children following the death of Elizabeth, (if this is correct). I think some of the entries on certain family sites have somehow got their wires crossed, any help would be welcome please.
Thanks

Cambridgeshire / Re: Hannah Eversden 1711-1747
« on: Monday 08 July 24 11:06 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for the responses, I have visited Toft church and seen in person the headstones there, also spoken to the rector there, a lady who is also the local historian and very helpful. The rector mentioned that the parish records show William’s wife Mary was his second wife !….did he marry two Mary’s?, but there does not seem to be any mention of his wife’s maiden name(s). The dates for a marriage in Norfolk would fit the bill, but although the Eversden family were wealthy landowners, I don’t see any connection to Norfolk. I have a copy of William’s (1671) will, which I have managed to transcribe about 98%, but as his wife died in 1726, she doesn’t get a mention. I’ll keep digging but any other info is more than welcome,
Thanks, Brian

Cambridgeshire / Hannah Eversden 1711-1747
« on: Saturday 06 July 24 10:48 BST (UK)  »
 I am looking for more details concerning this person who was born and buried in Toft, Cambridgeshire, and married to a Joseph Harper in 1732 in Potton, Bedfordshire. In particular her parents. I believe her father was William Eversden (1671-1734), but there were several 'Williams' in the family and although I have a marriage to a Mary Danker, this could be 1700 or 1721, depending which one she married. Could anyone please help with the mother of Hannah, if it be Mary or someone else.
Thanks, Brian

Hi there,
  Thanks for the response....not completely ruled out but not too much to go forward on. I need to do some further digging, but thanks all the same.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Thomas Clean
« on: Friday 08 December 23 14:40 GMT (UK)  »
In my tree I have a Thomas Clean, Shoemaker of Ness, and a record of a son, William been christened at Hovingham in 1770. Although I have not been able to trace anything on Thomas before this , I have
come across several generations of a family called Clean in the Riccall area, including a Thomas, shoemaker, born 1736, died and buried Riccall in 1810.
  Is it possible that there is a connection, did tradesmen travel around, did they have to be members of a guild or similar? It's not too far between these places, and while the dates would fit, it may be a
stretch of the imagination to put these together.
 Could anyone please help with either a positive or negative response, thank you.

Northamptonshire / Re: Sarah Ann Dennis
« on: Tuesday 18 July 23 15:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi there,
   Thanks for the responses, it looks as though the Smith/Dennis conundrum continues a bit longer, I think looking for George Smith in the missing census returns could be another unprofitable chase as he may have been born in Lincoln but could have ben any where before he appears in York in the early 1860's, but thanks for looking and I shall keep digging.

Northamptonshire / Sarah Ann Dennis
« on: Tuesday 11 July 23 15:41 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping that someone can give me anything at all on a Sarah Ann Dennis, born approx 1831 Peterborough.  I have nothing on her until 1865 when she is living in Osbaldwick, near York, married to a George Smith. They now have two daughters, Emily born 1863 and Louisa born 1865, Louisa going on to marry and was my wife's great grandmother.
  The census returns from 1871 onwards  show the family moving around from York to Kippax near Leeds and on to Spofforth near Wetherby, and show George born Lincoln and Sarah born Peterborough. I cannot find any trace for either of them  in the census for 1841, 1851,1861, or any details of births, marriage, parents etc.
  Can anyone out there offer any assistance please,
  Thanks.

I am hoping someone can add more details to the few I have regarding this person, please.
  He was born and Christened in December 1786 in Langtoft East Yorks., his father was James, b.1755, and I believe his mother was Ann (possibly Brown ?) He Married a woman Called Mary....no other info. on where, when or her surname, and they seem to have had only one child, Alice, (some entries show 'Ellis'), born April 1810, again in Langtoft. Christopher died and was buried Sept. 1831, age 45 Langtoft.
  If any one can fill in any blanks, I would be very grateful.
  Thank you,
