Managed to get this far......!!! I hope that death record is the correct one....

Evening all

I have been trying to find my uncles records but so far I have drawn up a blank......I've now found 3 marriage records all for West Riding which would place him in the right area.

I wondered if anyone could find some more information for me to see if they are the right records please....

Thanks Brian! Very interesting!!!! 

Hi All

My family are all originally from Lancashire but it appears that some moved back to West Riding.

My Great Grandmother (Mary Hardaker) was originally from Armley, Yorkshire. She married Job Wilson BOWN in 1899 in New Wortley before moving to Lancashire.

They had 3 children - Florence Ada, James & Eliza.

Florence & James were born in Manchester (Peel Green / Trafford) but Eliza was born in Morley in 1910.

On the 1911 census I have Job W BOWN living / working in Stretford but Mary and the kids were in Mortley.

This much I have already discovered

I have been trying to find out what has happened to these children but there has been nothing coming up in the Lancashire records....so I changed tack and looked on Yorkshire BMD and come across 2 possible marriage records for Florence and Eliza.

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1928
Surname   Forename(s)   Surname   Forename(s)   Church / Register Office   Registers At   Reference
BOWN   Eliza   KENWAY   Harold   St Lawrence, Pudsey   Leeds   CE133/B/467
BOWN   Florence   KELLY   Samuel   Leeds Registered Building   Leeds   RB/253/179


Would anyone be able to assist in getting more details with these records please?? I wanted to try this route first before I go and order certificates and find out they weren't the right ones.....

As always any help is very much appreciated

Many thanks
Nicki

I've just found this too Radcliff ...... also looking at the Baptisms John's mother was Ann....not Mary as indicated on the 1841 census....

Oh well....perhaps we shall never know....
