Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: streets in masham

I think it is now Cross Hill which is the area where the White Bear and Black Sheep brewery are.  If you follow the census descriptions at the start of the section describing the enumerators walk they seem to go from Cross of the Hill onwards in the direction of Marfield House and Low Mains.

1939 there is a Herbert Scaife b 1882 living at Cross hill Masham, sandwiched between the White Bear and Marfield Terrace. Not far away is Gun Bank; I am wondering if this was originally part of Cross of the Hill renamed?

Here is where to search for church records and civil registration records in the Polish archives. It would be helpful to know what religion Josephine followed. Some scans are available. Some of the records may be in German or Russian depending which Siedlec is correct. Use the search vital records button.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause of invalidity? 1917

Just reading Frank Muir s autobiography. He had this, probably from drinking unpasteurised milk and required surgery. This experience inspired the following quip

Years later during a panel game another participant accused him of being diabolical. “No,” Frank corrected him, “I am monobolical.”

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Hardraw Burials
« on: Sunday 16 March 25 18:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Probably Aysgarth as Hardraw was in it's parish. According to Genuki a small chapel of ease was built at Hardraw around 1770.

I seem to remember that there was a plan of the churchyard and a list of MI's you could consult held in Aysgarth church, but that was on a visit about 20 years ago!

Enjoy your trip. The Green Dragon is very characterful. As well as the walk up to the falls behind the Green Dragon,  there are nice walks around West Burton and Aysgarth falls too.

My ancestors (Butterfield) were from Thoralby, also in Aysgarth parish.

Found a site where you can search registration cards for Poznan, and Otto is listed with his wife and children, which confirms the My heritage information
