Anyone want a grave finding in King Cross methodist graveyard let me know, i will gladly search for them, as some of you  have said, you need a machete and stout stick in place to get through the overgrown jungle.

Regards,
Andy
I've cancelled the request to you Andy as I've further searched and found he's not my line of ancesters.
Thankyou
Lynda

Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Newmillerdam Deaths

I was determined to sort this out and found that there's only one church and it's less than 2 miles away. He's not where he is as stated but Section 4C, plot 24.

That's the family Libby. Great work!

 It appears that Ann also used Hannah as he first name.

Thomas Gawthorp and Harriet had ten children (that I know of) and he was from Chapelthorpe and baptized 17 January 1813 at Sandal Magna, St Helens. Of those children only one became a Goldthorpe

Harriet and Mary were sisters. When Harriet died Thomas married Mary who was a widow.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Newmillerdam Deaths
« on: Sunday 02 March 14 19:00 GMT (UK)  »
My fourth great grandfather, George Gawthorpe  died in Newmillerdam in 1872. He was 104 years old and Robert Prowde was the curate. At the top of the burial register it says Sandal Magna, St Helens. I also have his death certificate and it says, Newmillerdam, Sandal also.

I can't get a handle on the churches in the area and I've been using maps and other sources but without any success. I even found one church that had a master plan of the graves and there was a G Gawthorpe, no date given, at 4C, plot 9 but from the blurry image I saw that didn't appear to be correct. I'm not sure if there are two churches with similar names too - Sandal, St Helens.

Where do you think he would be buried?

Thank you in excited anticipation

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Joseph Rogers/Edwards
« on: Wednesday 21 March 12 23:13 GMT (UK)  »
Got a bit further and it's getting interesting.

Joseph Rogers was not Joseph Rogers as he was Joseph Edwards on his marriage certificate. I found him marrying Dorothy Waltho in St Albans January 12, 1924, aged 31 and he says he's living in Cudworth and working as a Leading Shunter. Was he born in 1892 or 1893?

They then have three children that I have found on BMD and also their baptism records and all are named Edwards.

I also have his death certificate and there are actually two records (same reference) and the one I got says, Joseph Rogers otherwise Joseph Edwards. I imagine the other one says the same. The witness is J.W Rogers, his son. Hmmmm. It says he was born around 1893.

I have the birth certificate of George Edwards (my late father-in-law) and I also have his marriage certificate from 1951 and he's George Rogers.

On reading I find that anyone can call themselves anything but not on a legal document but it appears that summat happened in order for all the kids to be Rogers later in life.

What do you think of this mystery?

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Joseph Rogers /Edwards 1922 Cudworth, Barnsley
« on: Saturday 20 August 11 19:52 BST (UK)  »
I have been doing family research for many years now.  I left England in the early eighties and sometimes I get rather challenged trying to trace recent ancestry more than the last century  being in another country.

I am now on my ex-husband's tree and his surname is Rogers, his father was George Rogers (who married Edna Wilby in the early fifties) and Joseph Rogers was the father of George. George was born between 1924 and 1928 but again I cannot find any records.

All I have found is Joseph Rogers in November 1922 as a leading shunter with Midland Railroad in Cudworth near Barnsley - and I know he did work there as a shunter.  Joseph may have been married to a Dorothy but I am not sure and I'm not sure if they came from down South. 

I am just plain old stumped on this one. Can someone please help or point me in the right direction please. I don't want anyone to do my work but I definitely need help gerring over the threshold with this one!!!

Thank  you

Family Bibles / UNWANTED: Bible of Charles Henry Read
« on: Wednesday 26 May 10 03:37 BST (UK)  »
Bought at an auction in Texas, January, 2010.

This is a bible that was given from Richard Read to his brother Charles Henry Read, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on January 29th 1878. 

Charles and his wife, Elizabeth were married in Essex, England on 30th August 1856.

I have scanned all the relevant pages to this family bible (it is in terrible condition seeing as it's been around a while) but now needs to find it's way back to loved ones.

Is there anyone in Australia looking for your Read family?
