Hi Jane

You're right - a malster brews beer.  Here are a couple of sites covering West Yorkshire, including Wakefield.  Hope these are some help.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Soulsby marriage in Sunderland
« on: Tuesday 05 January 10 21:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Rheola,

Thank you for the info - that site actually belongs to a distant cousin in Australia - his ancestor was  the brother of William and Robert.  William is the ancestor of my cousin in Canada and Robert was my g.grandad.  However I am trying to do my own searching, because I'm having problems in proving who Robert's parents really are.

By the way, thank you all for helping me with the missing marriage.  I have now received the certificate for William and Mary Jane - it does not throw up any new clues, but my cousin will be happy to have a copy of this.

cheers

Durham / Re: Missing Grandad
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 21:25 GMT (UK)  »

Hi Mim,

So sorry but I never saw this last reply to my original post - however I am still looking for my grandad!

In 1905 he married my grandma, a widow,  Charlotte Elizabeth Wharfe (nee Lonsdale).  She was born in Ripon but the family later moved to Thirsk - she was in domestic service when she was 14.   I wondered how they came to be in Leeds but later found that her brother in law lived there, Charles Wharfe, so maybe that was why Charlotte and her first husband moved there. The Wharfe's came up from Thetford in Norfolk.

Durham Lookup Requests / 1851 Census
« on: Thursday 12 November 09 20:14 GMT (UK)  »

Hi

I wonder if anyone could tell me who was living in Minorea Place (don't have a number), Sunderland in the 1851 census.  My g. grandad was living there in Feb 1851 when he married, but in the census his address had changed.  I'm trying to find out if he was lodging there, or whether any of his family actually lived there.

I've tried searching on Ancestry but cannot find how to search for an address (??) and Findmypast haven't finished transcribing Co. Durham yet.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jean

Stan and Lewis

Thank you for these site details - they are a great help, wish I'd known about these before.

Do you know if there are any similar sites for Catholic b/m/d?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Did he marry a cousin?
« on: Sunday 08 November 09 15:51 GMT (UK)  »

Hi

In 1851 census, Nancy (Ann) Hutchinson, guest at Jonathon Clough's house is in fact married to Matthew Hutchinson (born Pudsey).  She has two of her children with her, Hannah Maria and Richard. Her other son William is with grandparents in Pudsey.   Her mother was Elizabeth Wilkinson, sister to Jn. Clough's wife, Hannah (Anne) Wilkinson.  Nancy's maiden name was Buckle.

I have been trying to connect Michael Hutchinson to my in-laws, but cannot find his birth or parents names.  Do you have these?

Michael could have married his cousin, I don't think it was illegal then.

What a great site - wish I'd known about this before.  Most of my father's, half of my mother's and all of my mother-in-laws family are from Durham.  I didn't realise this until I started searching our family tree.

What I don't understand is if William and Mary Jane are listed under different volume numbers, 10a 435 and 10a 433 - how do they tie up?  Where can I see the transcript of their actual marriage (sorry if I appear a bit thick). I've only found them individually on Findmypast.

Many thanks
Jean
