Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / BIRTH CERTIFICATE- William Cass born 1865, Crigglestone, Yorkshire
« on: Monday 05 September 05 23:07 BST (UK)  »
William Cass was born 1865 in  Mould Royd, Crigglestone, Yorkshire. His mother was called Ann, maiden name unknown.  His father's surname was Cass. Ann was widowed at some point before 1881, so having difficulty tracing family back any further as do not know either parent's full name! Mother Ann was born in 1825/1826 in Frickley, York.

William had at least 2 siblings, John Cass born at Mould Royd in 1858, and Emma Cass born in 1862, again at Mould Royd.

Any further info would be HUGELY appreciated! Thank you!

~Can any kind person help me solve a family secret?~

In May/poss June 1921 Robert Twaddle and Jessica Sharkey arrived in England on the HMS Themistocles, complete with baby daughter Jean Twaddle born en route 18th May 1921.  Robert Twaddle went to Australia at some point before this, and returned with Jessica and Jean. During WWI Robert worked as deep sea diver in Australian army.

Unfortunately, a few links are missing:
1)When Robert went to Australia, and WHY? Jean maintains it was due to a family argument, but research discovers said argument took place in 1950's, long after Robert left and returned. 

2)When Robert and Jessica married, before or after the birth of Jean and arriving in England

3)If Twaddle was assumed in England. There is a possibility that the surname was originally Tweddle

Ship possibly travelled from New South Wales.

This is a family secret, possibly because something unsavory occurred, eg Jean is illegitimate, Robert was a convict shipped to Australia etc. This problem has been bugging me for years, and I would really appreciate it if anyone could help!Thank you!
