Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: priestley/clayton family of wibsey, clayton and edge end o
« on: Saturday 04 August 12 10:03 BST (UK)  »
my gt gt gt grandmother was sarah priestley who married a james priestley in 1811 in newington surrey, she was born in 1787 in wibsey to jonathan and hannah priestley nee clayton.  she had several brothers and sisters.  Her parents married in 1773.  dont know the age of her father when she was born or his date of birth, but he was a weaver who lived at edge end/wibsey area.   guessing that he was married for 14 yrs when sarah was born, he may have have been in his 40s when she was born he may have been born in the 1740s, two were found in 1747 and 1749, any help would be appreciated

that is so great.  Sarah b 1787 had several children amongst them a jonathan, sarah, hannah, obviously named after her mum, dad and herself (she also had children named benjamin, thomas james, amelia, maria louisa and nancy) her husband was james priestley, so may have been a relation or just a coincidence.  everything matches up sarah's mge in 1811, her birth in 1787, her brothers and sisters and parents and the pob.  thanks so much - I really appreciate all the trouble you have gone to.  people have been so helpful on the various sites - one strange thing though, sarah's pob was clayton and her mum's maiden name was clayton?

can someone do a census look up for me, I am researching my priestley family from newington nr london and I find the bride in an 1811 marriage there, was born in wibsey, york in 1787, following is a copy of the birth someone on rootsweb found for me "Sarah Priestley, Baptism 14 Jan 1787  at Wibsey, York, England  - Father Jonathan Priestley " - I would appreciate it if someone could look up the nearest census after this birth, or before, or both so I can find more about this family.  On the 1851 census in surrey/london, it said sarah priestley was born in clayton and apparently that is close to wibsey.  I am in new zealand so don't know much about these towns.  Help would be appreciated.

the porirua library is a great place, its closer than hataitai, and I can get the actual photocopy of the parish record for 10 cents, I think the morman one in hataitai you have to pay so much per visit per day.
for the birth you found, I will for sure get the both parents, I have johnathan as the dad so it will show the mum as well, all for 10 cents.  wonderful value.  Thanks for suggesting hataitai though, I really appreciate all the trouble you have gone to.  Is there census at that time for wibsey where I may find the family of sarah.

hi

I am valerie aitchison and live in wellington, I know wanganui well.  Sarah and James' two eldest daughters were Nancy b1812 and Maria b1814,  I found two mges one in 1811 for a james priestley and sarah priestley, and one in 1814 for a james priestley and sarah stead, the last couple were married in bradford but the first couple, both priestleys were married in st marys newington which was where the children were all christened.  so that would be the right one.  the census for sarah in 1851 said she was born in clayton and the wibsey you found is pretty close and with the names of jonathan for both her father and son all tie in.  our local library in porirua has a genealogy section manned by volunteers.  A genealist there found the 1811 mge on line thru their resources and printed out a photocopy (parish record) of the actual mge for 10 cents.  I cldnt believe it.  Just have to find James birth now.  Will get the genealogy  lady to print out a copy of the birth of sarah next weekend.  so exciting.  Regards Valerie

thank you crisane, yes all the children I knew about, thanks so much for looking, the census was very helpful as was the birth you found for sarah, she had a son jonathan and thats not that common a name so that entry for sarah with the father of jonathan is highly likely.  Thank you for doing that.  Benjamin and johnathan died as babies.  How would go about looking for the birth of the husband, James Priestley, all I know is that he was born around 1791.  Its hard being far off in NZ not knowing where the places are.  I know counties in england but towns dont mean a thing, as I dont know where they are located.  where is beds or bedfordshire in relation to newington or london?

I am from NZ and all our family were christened and married at St Marys Newington since 1811.  We visited london for the first time in 2008 and we went to visit St Marys, its definitely worth a visit, it was so sentimental.  We saw the steeple/tower and the main doors.  It was so sad thinking my gt gt gt grandparents stood by the same doorway over 200 yrs ago.  They were the Priestley family of Newington.  I took a lot of photos of the church to take home.
