Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: John Storey born Carperby circa 1800
« on: Saturday 13 April 13 16:25 BST (UK) »
Thank-you, that is certainly a lead worth following up. If Ann was born in Grassington it is likely that is where they married, isn't it? The parish church for Grassington would have been St. Michael & All Angels at Linton in Craven. I may need to post again on the West Yorkshire board, as they are just over the border!

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / John Storey born Carperby circa 1800
« on: Saturday 13 April 13 12:41 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful for some help with my 3rd great grandfather, John Storey, who I believe was born in Carperby between about 1801 and 1808.
What I know so far is that in 1841 he was living in Grassington, age said to be 33, working as a lead miner, and was married to Ann (maiden name unknown) aged 40, with Margaret, 14, a weaver, Edward, 10, and John Armstrong, age 60, mole catcher. I am guessing John might have been his father-in-law.
In 1851 he was still in Grassington, age said to be 50, still a lead miner. His surname had been written as Storra. He was with his wife Ann, children Margaret, 23 and Edward 20, and his son-in-law Absalom Sheldon. John was said to be born in Carperby and Ann and the children in Grassington.
In 1861 Ann was a widow, living with Edward and his wife in Linton, so John must have died between 1851 and 1861.
The family church for many in my line was St. Michael and All Angels Church, Linton, Skipton, but I don't know if this family worshipped there.
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with a baptism and/or marriage record for John.

Lancashire / Re: RIGBY, John born 1831 Freckleton, marriage abt 1855

Thanks Allan. I thought as much, but it's good to have confirmation of it. Are the Rigbys in your direct line?

Thank-you.
The Rigbys were quite prolific, as were their cousins the Marsdens
I had already had a look at the likely marriages and spotted Elizabeth Ainscough in Q3 1854 in Ormskirk. Your suggestion to look on the 1851 census is a good one.
The only other Elizabeth I could find for Ormskirk was in q1 1859 - Elizabeth Leadbetter, but I think that would be a bit too late.
There are a couple more in Liverpool but as Ormskirk had its own registration district they are not probables.
I also had a look on the Online Parish Clerks site for Rufford St. Mary's between 1837 & 1900 but drew a blank. Ditto Kirkham.

Lancashire / RIGBY, John born 1831 Freckleton, marriage abt 1855
« on: Saturday 19 March 11 17:48 GMT (UK) »
I have a John RIGBY, son of Thomas RIGBY and Elizabeth WHITESIDE born in Freckleton, Fylde in about 1831. He lived in Dungeon Row in 1841 and Bunkers Hill in 1851 with his parents, and he was a rope maker, as was his father.
By 1861 he was married to Elizabeth and had children James (5), Robert (2) & Elizabeth A. (7mos) and was living in Preston Road, Freckleton - still a rope maker.
Elizabeth was born in Rufford in about 1833.
I would guess that his marriage had to have been between April 1851 and 1856 -i.e. after the census but before the birth of his son, but I have not been able to find it. Can anyone help me to put a surname to his wife Elizabeth, please?

Lancashire / Re: Kays of Hothersall, Ribchester, and area - photos to share
« on: Tuesday 08 March 11 14:10 GMT (UK) »Quote
I didn't realise there were people on Ancestry researching this family, I've felt rather alone with this for many years!
I have only just discovered the Kays in my line in the last few days. I was born and raised just south of Preston but am now living in the land of Vercingetorix.
My dad's line all came from the Fylde area and my mum's were mostly from Wensleydale and adjoining Dales but I did not start researching the family until quite recently. This means that 95% of the information in my tree has come from census or parish information which has been published on-line, or courtesy of other researchers because I cannot physically get to the records offices, churchyards etc.Louise, are you a member of any other genealogy sites such as Ancestry or Genes Reunited?

I believe that William Kaye (1663 - 1718 Ribchester) is my 7th great grandfather on my mother's side.
The line I have is:
John Kay (1689 Hothersall - 1746) Son of William Kaye & Grace Blackburn
William Kay (1721 Hothersall - 1801) Son of John Kay & Martha Maudsley
Martha Kay (1754 Hothersall - 1838) Daughter of William Kay & Elizabeth Hesmondhalgh
Martha Mercer (1803 Clitheroe - 1868) Daughter of Martha Kay & James Mercer etc. etc.
I have gleaned some information off the Ancestry site but there are lots of gaps and some of the information other members have is just plain wrong (e.g. some have William getting married 20 years before he was born!).
If you have any information about any of these people I would be very grateful for it.
