Family History Beginners Board / Mary Bradshaw
« on: Wednesday 06 December 17 16:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I’m trying to trace any decendants of Mary Bradshaw born in 1883 in Hull, East Yorkshire.
I have discovered she married a Christopher William Jordan in 1903. In the 1911 census they were living at 749 Hessle Road Hull. They had one son, Laurence William aged 7 years and one daughter
Amy Lillian age 3 years. This is were the trail has run cold. Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Nick Uebel

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Family of the late Harrold Selle of Hull

Hello,
I know very little of my mothers side of the family other than my Grandfather's name. My late mother, Jessica Selle had an unusual middle name ( Bradshaw) and I'm intrigued to know the significance ( if any) of this name.
Both my mothers parents died when I was a child and my mother hardly ever spoke about them or where they came from. All I know is that I'm fairly sure my Grandfather was born in the Southcoats  region of Hull.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Family of the late Harrold Selle of Hull

My grandfather Harrold Selle of Hull was in business as a Coal merchant around 1900. His premises were at Witham. He later changed career and worked on he Docks eventually becoming a Superintendent. He and his wife and daughter ( my mother Jessica Selle) lived in Nornabell Street off Holderness Road. Later when my mother married they moved to Hull Road Anlaby. I would be interested to know if there is anyone alive who has any knowledge of this family.

Yes I suppose that could be true. Sorry if I seem a little slow but this detective work is a little new to me. Fascinating though,

Thanks,

Nick

Hello Michael ONeil,

Just had a thought regarding the son, Henry Carl whom you think may have died. My father's name as he was known was Charles Henry. Maybe his father, my grandfather Christian originaly called him Carl Henry? My father Charles was born in 1905 so that would tie in with his fathers naturalisation in 1907. All very intriguing.

Dear Genealiza,

Also my thanks for your help with my research. I have been trying to discover information about my family name for quite some time and it is only recently that I have had sufficient time (retirement) to properly address this research. Thank you so much,

Nick Uebel

Dear Michael ONeil,

Thank you so much for this information.....fantastic! I was aware that my father had siblings that had died in infancy ( as did Ludwig later) but not that there was another sister, Hannah Sophia. When they were alive I had three Aunties, Elsie, Anne and Laura the youngest. I had. No knowledge of my Grandfather living in North Sheffield! But his co-lodger's name crops up in family stories. Thanks again
Best wishes,
Nick Uebel

Hello,
I'm still a little new to all this so bare with me. During my research I discovered the Grandfather, Christian Friedrich Uebel travelled over to the USA. It would have been somewhere about 1890-1895?  He was a Pork Butcher by trade and family stories tell of him working for a time in Chicago which I believe was at that time the main meat distribution area for the United States. Via various sites I have found the family name ( Uebel) pops up in the surrounding area of Chicago and as yet been unable to find any means of finding addresses.
I was always under the impression that he went over there with a view to staying but decided to return to England. He eventually settled back in Kingston upon Hull on the North East Coast of England. I am intrigued as to why he returned, maybe he was just visiting relatives already there?
Any ideas or help would be most welcome.
Thank you,

Nick Uebel
