Hi Carol - I am new to this chatroom so unsure what PM is. (mesage put on from moderator).  If you can let me have your email address, I can scan the death certificates that I have for both Frederick and Ann.  I currently live in Leeds but my mother still lives in Halifax.  Part of the original John Street still exists - it is near the old Nat West Bank and would have run up past the old bus station.  I am happy to give you my email address if you want it.

Hi Carol,

Frederick and Ann's daughter Rose married Henry George Ravenhill in Bradford on 13th April 1869.  They had 10 children, the fifth of which was Edgar Frederick Ravenhill.  He married Eliza Scholey in Doncaster on 28th October 1899 and my Nan was their daughter, Lily Ravenhill.  You probably have copies of the censuses which show that Frederick and Ann moved to Halifax (coincidentally where I was born and brought up) and Frederick is listed as a Publican in 1861 - I have been trying to find out which pub he would have run as they were living in the town centre (St John's Street).  Do you have anything else - I know that Frederick died in the workhouse - Rose had been in Halifax with him and her siblings until her mother died but moved back to Doncaster after the death of her son.

Hi, I'm new to this list.  I too have this certificate as Frederick Lent was my 3 x great grandfather.  I have the fathers as James and Henry but have not been able to progress any further back at this stage!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
