Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Sarah Ann Parkin
« on: Sunday 09 August 15 14:07 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for the information provided so far.  I didn't know about Sarah and George's burial so that looks interesting and I also was not sure about boundaries so that has cleared a bit up for me.  I am going to take an assumption that Sarah was born in Wortley in 1851 and with this in mind will order the birth certificate hopefully we are all right.  Thank you all.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Sarah Ann Parkin
« on: Sunday 02 August 15 20:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello and hope someone maybe able to help here.  I am looking for details of the family of Sarah Ann Parkin.  I know that Sarah Ann Parkin was born around 1851 where she was born in either Bradfield, Oughtibridge or Ecclesfield Yorkshire.  I have found her baptism record on 15 Jun 1856 at Wadsley Ecclesfield where she was baptised at the same time as her sister Mary.  Her parents names I believe are John Parkin and Martha.  From Sarah's marriage certificate on 21 August 1870 at St Philips Church where her husbands name is George Nortcliffe and Sarah's father was John Parkin.  What I can not work out is when Sarah was actually born and finding her birth certificate.  I think once I have that I might then be able to find her death certificate.  Can anyone help in getting me to achieve this.  I am happy to talk to anyone with regard to any other members of the family as well.

Thank you
Claire

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Old Occupation
« on: Monday 25 November 13 12:18 GMT (UK)  »
Firstly thank you for your replies that has clarified a few things.  Not sure if it is the same person but can not fathom anything else out so will park this for now.

My William Woolley was born on 15 Aug 1827 in Dunstall, Staffordshire and he died in April 1878.  His parents I believe were William Woolley and Jane though I need to now go to Staffordshire to find out lots more as there is no parish records for these areas online.  William married Harriet Simnett on 19 Feb 1849 at Tattenhill, Staffordshire where they had Henry (1855-1931), Eliza Ann (1858-), William (1860-1938), Abraham (1863-1917) and my direct ancestor Louisa Woolley (1865-1955). Does that tie into any of your ancestors?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Old Occupation
« on: Sunday 24 November 13 18:49 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor that in 1841 was living in Staffordshire.  I have spent some time trying to decipher his occupation but to no luck.  Could anyone work this out for me?

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / parish look up at Horninglow
« on: Wednesday 11 September 13 08:37 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out.  I am trying to verify my Great Great Grandmother and Father who lived after being married in the same house in Horninglow, Staffordshire.  I believe that they would have been buried at the local church there but I am not sure which year they died.  William Brown was born abt 1823 and died after 1891 (as he still appears on census records).  His wife Sarah Brown (nee Bird) was born abt 1827 and again died after 1891.  I also know they were married at Weeford in Staffordshire in 1848 but as yet I have not been able to get more information about their marriage.  I would be greatful for any assistance you can provide.

Thank you
Claire

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Sheffield Businesses Prior to World War 2
« on: Wednesday 31 July 13 10:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone

I have been doing my family tree for a while and though it is great getting information like birth, marriage, death, residence and occupations there is one person on my family tree that intrigues me more than any other.  My Great Grandfather Frank Dodsworth was born in 1893 in Cockermouth.  By 1911 he was a Pony Pit Driver in the coal mines in Sheffield before going to war in WW1 in the Royal Field Artillery (no records survive).  He then went onto become a Carter at the local Steelworks in Sheffield (you would class this as a modern van driver these days).  However, there are stories I have been told as I grew up that Frank owned his own haulage/transport business in Sheffield somewhere from 1921 until half way through the war when the business was requisitioned by the Government.  My question is, is there anyway of finding out business names and information on this from around that time and if so where might this be held?  My Mum believes the business could have been F Dodsworth and Son but she is not sure at all.

Thank you in advance

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 Census - Relation to Head states Mart Why?
« on: Sunday 28 July 13 17:31 BST (UK)  »
Never thought of that thank you.  Whilst I am on would birth places on census records slightly change from one census to the next?  Just curious with Sarah Brown nee Bird on this one

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / 1861 Census - Relation to Head states Mart Why?
« on: Sunday 28 July 13 16:59 BST (UK)  »
I think I have located someone in my family tree on the 1861 census but I am a little stuck why the Relation to Head shows as Mart?  Does anyone know why this might be?

The family in question I know from the 1871 census had two or three children by then but could have been more as William and Sarah were married in 1848 I think.

William Brown B.1823 in Lichfield, Staffordshire
Sarah Brown nee Bird B.1827 in Whittington, Staffordshire
George Brown B.1859
Charlotte Brown B.1860
Ann Brown B.1861, Lichfield (believe she was born after the census was taken)

I have them living at Victoria Crescent, Horninglow, Staffordshire, District 19, Ecclesiastical parish District Holy Trinity page 29 with another family or so Ancestry and find my past both show.
