If you look up  the Leodis website it is full of photos of Leeds and districts and the the nearest they have is glasshouse street which gives you an idea of the kind of houses

Nev and anyone else interested in the Tyson -Southward family. I can only agree with you in the difficulty in searching for this family.I would be very happy if someone could find a family that is Williams,but after spending some time mulling over the names you have given me and further information I havefound I am wondering if you might give consideration to a scenario I will put forward to you or anyone else interested in this family. I have for some time been wondering if a William Tyson who married Ann Langley (Longley) 15th Jan 1742 may be our Williams parents?     My reasons being the use of family names  in the next generation.                                            The Southward family, Father John Mother anne ,children Mary 22 May 1743     Thomas 18 May 1749      Dorothy 9 June 1750 our Dorothy,       Isaac    1751,      Abraham 1754                         At present the only family I could put forward  for  William and Anne Tyson would be our William born about 1750. It seems in those times families repeatedly used the same family names for generations. My thinking is that William and Dorothy like others used their family names being :      John Ann William and Thomas, being 4 of the 6 of their children named from these families.           As yet I have been unable to find any family for William and Ann but maybe Dorothy and Williams other 2 childrens names are the clue. WHAT DO YOU THINK?    Do you have a connection with the  Tyson or Southward families .                       Regards yhout.

Hi All,

I have downloaded death certificate of Peter Simpson, widower of Marian Dickson, he was aged 73 on 6th November 1880, (so DOB approx. 1807) He was a French Polisher, which agrees with census details. His parents were Andrew Simpson(Sawyer) and Elizabeth Paxton. The certificate was signed by his son, Andrew, who I don't think he knew his late grandmothers first name.

many thanks for the reply on Robert Simpson and margaret Myles but after researching after such a long time on George Simpson and Ann Myles and therefor their children it turned out that my ancestor Peter Simpson father was Andrew Simpson and Elizabeth Paxton who was a sawyer in Galadsmuir so unless George Simpson was a brother of Andrew Simpson they are not related to me.My fault completely as one should never take other peoples info as gospel.I take this opportunity to add that anymore info on Gladsmuir on the family of Andrew Simpson and Elizabeth Paxton would be more than welcome as i have drwn a blank on the Paxtons and also the Simpsons.
