Aah! I didn't realise there was such a thing.
No, no-one has listed them as an interest.  :(

Yes, there were a LOT of Howrams around Knottingley and Pontefract in the C19th - I have all the ones I'm interested in pretty much sorted out, it's just this Mary Swinney who's giving me trouble! thanks for looking them up for me, though.

Yeah, I've been really struggling to find any Irish records at all from that date; I asked on the offchance someone might know of a Mary Swinney who vanished off to England.
I know she married John Howram in Pontefract on 16th March 1834 - so she might have already been pregnant with their first son, who was baptized on 9th November of that year. She appears as John's wife on the 1841 census; Neither of these records give any more clues as to where she was born.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / The Owram/Ouram family of Wragby
« on: Wednesday 07 October 15 20:19 BST (UK)  »
I've managed to trace my ancestry back to a man named Henry Owram who was born in Wragby, Yorkshire, in 1630. I know that his father was also called Henry Owram, and there was a couple called Nicholas and Johanna Ouram who were having children in Wragby in the 1580s and 90s, though I can't find a birth record for Henry Snr.
I have found a legal document dated 1633 that names a Henry Owram and Nicholas Owram (among others) who seem to be involved in some sort of dispute over land near Ryhill: http://mss-cat.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqCmd=show.tcl&dsqSearch=%28RefNo==%22Ga1%2F9201-11846%2F9746-9789%2F9751%22%29
Does anyone know any more?

Ireland / Mary Swinney, b.1800.

I'm looking for information about my 4 greats grandmother, Mary Swinney, who was born in Ireland around 1800. I know that in the 1830s she was living in Knottingley in Yorkshire with her husband, John Howram, who was a sailor. Their children were John Hanson (1834-1897), George (b.1838) and Sarah (b.1845).
I'd really like to know where she came from and who her parents were - it's even possible she'd been married before, or that she and John had lived in Ireland together.

Hello, cousins - I'm another descendant of the Swaledale and Heptonstall Cherries.
Someone mentioned earlier that there was a father and son named Thomas living in Heptonstall. The father was born in Grinton in 1787, the son of John Cherry (b.1761) and Ginny Broderick (b.1765). He married Betty Nowell (1792-1866) and they had 9 children:
Simon (1816)
John (1818 - 1852)
James (1820)
Thomas (1822)
Jane (1824)
Broderick (1829)
Cornelius (1830-1833)
Jeremiah (1832-1872)
Sarah (1837-1892)

I know that Simon married Grace Uttley, and they lived in Halifax for a few years before eventually moving to Burnley with their children.
