Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Missing Will? - Francis Hobson Potts, Barnsley
« on: Sunday 10 July 16 19:45 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both for your kind replies. I suspected there was no Will but I know you are all very knowledgeable on here and I am always willing to learn.

There is another FHP he is the grandson of Francis died 1892

Thanks again.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Missing Will? - Francis Hobson Potts, Barnsley
« on: Sunday 10 July 16 14:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I have a Francis Hobson Potts, born 1810 Barnsley, Cordwainer who died 1892 Dec qtr Barnsley aged 82.  He had lived and worked all his life in the Barnsley area and appeared to own one or more properties.

I have not been able to trace a Will or Letter of Administration for him and wondered if I can not see the wood for the trees, or there was no will.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Staffordshire / Great Bridge which parish?
« on: Tuesday 05 July 16 07:56 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I have someone in 1873 coming from Great Bridge, Staffordshire. I do not seem to be able to find such a parish, and wondered what is the most likely church to have been used?

Regards

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / 1927 Barnsley Marriage
« on: Thursday 30 June 16 17:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am looking for some kind person to find a marriage between John Thomas Clarke and Nora Morris. I know it took place in the March quarter and it was in Barnsley - not just Barnsley district. I do not know which church.

I am tracing a tree for a friend and I need the information regarding Noras father and his occupation if I am to trace her back any further.

Many thanks

Rosalind

Essex / Re: Advice/guidance for marriage please

Thank you for this help.  Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees.  I had completely overlooked the fact that the elder children were born after registration.  The baptism of Sarah Jackson in Great Parndon makes the marriage more likely.  I will send for a baptism then sit back and wait.

Thank you again it really is great to be able to bounce an idea off those who know more.  :)

Essex / Advice/guidance for marriage please
« on: Tuesday 21 April 15 09:09 BST (UK)  »
I have always wanted documentary proof before taking information as gospel, however, I have a situation that has me unsure.

I have a George Conyers Parish baptised Waltham Holy Cross 1804 father Edward Parish. He married a Sarah c 1824 which is when their first child, also George Conyers Parish, was baptised.

The only marriage I can find which looks likely is George Conyard Parish to Sarah Jackson 2nd June 1823 St Mary Whitechapel.  One of the witnesses was a Catherine Parish - Georges elder sister was a Catherine.

I can not find a baptism for a George Conyard or many Catherines that would have been old enough to be a witness.

I would appreciate any views.

Thanks

Hi Mark he was baptised on the 18th April 1886 at Waltham Holy Cross (page 77 entry no 613) son of Anthony Adam and Emma Parish and in answer to your earlier question Emma was a Clements.

His full name is Bertie Parish. He was baptised and married with this name, his children were baptised with Bertie as father and his death and Probate had him as Bertie. He was my husbands great grandfather - but where is he? Thanks for looking.

Essex Lookup Requests / 1891 Census - Bertie Parish
« on: Friday 17 April 15 17:37 BST (UK)  »
I am having trouble finding Bertie Parish born 1886 Warlies Park Farm near Epping.  His father died a month after Berties birth, mother Emma Parish (born 1849 Copped Hall Green) had 15 other children. Maybe transcription error, either way, help would be very much appreciated. 

Thanks

Regards
