Oh how I wish I'd asked more questions, I remember sitting with my granny who I adored and her saying gt uncle Jack was going to visit. I've never heard of her having any sisters, do you think they meant my aunty's Minnie,  Kathleen and Lena  x

Hi there, Helen was my granny and her son Gordon was my dad.
He told me about his gt grandad Thomas that he had cut his throat in the Irish fields in Otley as his wife had died and he couldn't cope.
Helen Hannah Burley Ruddock was sent to an orphanage in Harrogate.
I was born in Otley hospital and know the street they lived in as my brother drove me past it once.
I contacted this group as Helens brother Jack came for a visit about 30/40ish years ago .Linda x

Oh don't worry, this is only one of my great grandfathers I have been chasing the other one all over Victoria in Australia for several years. He seems to have run away from his family too although he had gold fever. Both are named Thomas and both have been giving me a hard time for so many years.

I have managed to go back on their lines and find their families, but of course they are the interesting ones because they have chosen a life of mystery or lived outside the family circle.

I have ordered that certificate so will wait patiently for it arrival. (Waiting, waiting - are we there yet?)

Yes I know why we all do it - it's the thrill of the chase - like a dog chasing cars - what will we do when we finally catch it?

Yes we already know - we help other people solve their problems, cos we can't help ourselves.
While I waited for my certificate to arrive I did some further research and found my Thomas Ruddock listed as Burley in the 1911 census. He was living with relatives and had a sister with him who I didn't know existed her name was Nellie - I believe her to be
 
Helen Hannah B Ruddock b 1903 
I also found another child who only lived a year
Edward Ruddock b 1906 - d 1907

When Emma Blown (married name Ruddock) death cert arrived, the cause of death were all related to infections of child birth, she died in 1906 it would appear the same time as Edward was born.

So now I have another great aunt to add to the mix, I believe that she married Willie Armitage in 1919 and had 6 children. Perhaps this will give me some new information.

Cheers
