Hi Again,

Thanks for the info, and Pels - I have no problem with putting all that info together

Daniel1111 - It might be the same John - its just that on the 1851 census John's place of birth is Richmond. Not living in the UK I'm not too great with the geography of Yorkshire and getting really confused with the Ridings (think thats age though!!!)
Thank you both again
   

Thank you so much Vicar's wife and Janis for the info its been a big help in sorting out the areas and checking the parish records

Hi Andrea,
Thank you so much - I'll give them a bash.
I must say in fairness to Yorkshire Archives they did have a quick look for me for John  (2 Johns both of which died!!) so a great big thank you to Yorkshire Archives
I've applied for a marriage cert - nothing on that so I've now applied for the 2nd born birth cert (1st was born pre 1837) Watch this space!!

Best wishes Pipj
 

Is there anybody who would take pity on me and help me out. I am flying over to the UK tomorrow and was going to the NYRO but theyre closed for the week!!!!!   So I'm hoping somebody might have the parish records on CD

I'm trying to locate a John Stockdale according to the census he was born c 1811 Richmond N Yorks.
I've found one c 1806 but he died soon after. I'm trying to find John's parentage and I've hit a brick wall.
I've found him on the 1841/1851/1861 he's moved to Co Durham and married 3 times. I've got one his marriage certs but theres nothing on that, plus I've tried the usual routes IGI etc etc

I would be extremely grateful and wouldn't normal ask as I know how busy people are.

Thanks in advance

Hope somebody can help - I don't live in the UK so I'm not very good with the geography of Durham.
I've located a Thomas Stockdale c1837 according to the 1851/61 cenus he was born in Cornforth or South Church. I guess these are the same, but according to the details of the church at Cornforth it wasn't built until 1886 so where would he have been most likely christened.
Thanks all
