Hi, Thank you once again for all you have done. On the 1841 census it shows Mary and her children living in Bank Bottom, Glossop, Hadfield, Derbyshire, Jonas was shown as living in Hollingreave, Yorkshire, do you think there could have been a possibility that some of the children could have been born in that area and perhaps baptised there.
from another family member, they have Jonas's father John marrying a Hannah Mellor, as yet I have not been able to find any record of marriage, Hannah was reportedly to have been born in Crossgatehead, Austonley, Holmfirth, with all but one of their children being baptised in the Wesleyan Chapel Holmfirth, with Martha baptised in Queen St Wesleyan, Huddersfield, mind you that is assuming that I have my information right
Once again many thanks
Cheers

Hi, I am trying to find birth/baptisim records for my grt grt grandfathers Joseph Gillotts family. Joseph, b abt 1830, as per 1851 census, was born in Holmfirth, Yorkshire, His father was Jonas Gillott, spelt as Jellott in IGI, I beleive his mother was Mary, I have found a Jonas marrying a Mary Peace 1813, Kirkburton, the oldest child that I have found so far was Lydia b abt 1824, I am sure there would have been some born before her. We have checked parish records of churches in and immediately around Holmfirth, with no luck.
Jonas & Marys children we have to date are, Lydia b abt 1824, Sarah b abt 1826, John b abt 1828, Joseph b abt 1830, Mary b abt,  1834, Henry b abt 1836, Emma b abt 1839, & Simeon b abt 1840. Most seem to have been born in Thurstonland. Any help would be greatly appreciated 

Hi, Thanks for that, yes it is the one in 1861, but not 1841, what I have found in and think maybe right, from the 1841 census is, the Jonas by himself could be the right one and his family were living else where, I did find an entry for a Jonas Jellott marring a Mary Peace 1813 in Kirkburton, on the LDS site, also found a Mary Gillot & children including Joseph, on 1841 census Glossop, Derbyshire. What I need now is to try and verify all this from parish records. Where would I need to look or get access to records from Holmfrith and Kirkburton

 Thanks Carole

Hi, Try this site http://www.aucklandlibrary.co.nz/, click on Digital Library, then History Genealogy, then search passenger lists, type in Helenslee, this will bring up a list of passengers that travelled on that ship. This site also has passenger list, but you will need to search through the dates, http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/, the paper you want is Sothern Cross, listed under Auckland publications, if you know the date of arrival, that will help you, and save time
