Hi Russell, Thank you for the information, it's hugely helpful and has filled in gaps and confirmed lots of grey areas. I'll be resuming my research in earnest once again! Your Skelmanthorpe project is very impressive, I will enjoy  taking time to study it. Thanks once again.

Hi Patrish, I've not quite got my head round navigating the BMD. Any reason why Charles, Matilda and Clarissa are on Bradford records? I found Charles Edward Firth - Huddersfield 1859 9a-261. I thought I'd just check before ordering Charles' birth certificate. Would appreciate your opinion. Thanks

Hi everyone,  Thanks for your help. I'm going to order Charles' birth certificate and see if that helps. I noticed the disappearance and reappearance of Clarissa and Thomas as well. Elizabeth Berry was married before, I think to a Micklethwaite. Sarah is a Mickle thwaite in  both the 1841 and 1851 census. The family are all recorded as Feith in 1871. I wonder if she used Berry or Micklethwaite when she married ( or possibly she didn't marry at all). There is also a Daniel Heap? that lives with the family (or next door)sometimes recorded as a lodger other times as the son of Elizabeth Berry? Heap? I wonder where he fits in? I'm baffled!  Jane

Hi, Sorry I'm still a bit new to this, so not making myself very clear. No I've not sent for a birth certificate for Charles. I wasn't sure I had enough information to order it. I would appreciate your advice.

This is the 1881 census

Hi, Yes I think so. I think Sarah 's mother was Elizabeth Berry. She also had a daughter, Clarissa born 1855. The 1881 census lists her as being a widow. She was a shawl fringer.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me find the father of Charles E Firth? He was born in Skelmanthorpe 1859/60, married to Sarah A, with children Minnie, Thomas B and Harold (1901 census). His mother is Sarah Ann?  (a widow in 1861 census), Micklethwaite? Berry?....possibly??? Thanks. Jane

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Dobby

Thanks for your continued help, I'm really stuck! It makes sense that Thomas and Ellen Milward are James' parents. The trouble is, it says quite clearly 'deceased' underneath Thomas's name. Residence at the time of marriage for both Hannah and James is given as Woodside, Horsforth. The witnesses were James Pickard and Maria Pickard, their neighbours. Could a family fall out account for the word 'deceased'? Is this bound to be accurate? They married at the Register Office of .........difficult to read. Is this unusual for the time? or significant?   Jane

Hi Suz, I took your advice and ordered a marriage certificate for Thomas Dobby. This confirms that his father was James Dobby (boot finisher) living in Leeds. I am fairly sure now that the first marriage certificate I bought i.e. for James Dobby and Hannah Foster, is correct. This would have been good news if it hadn't thrown up the next major hurdle - James' dad was another Thomas, a farmer, I presume from around Kirby Malzeard and recorded as deceased on his son James marriage certificate (1859). Complicated this ancestry business isn't it !- but also annoyingly compulsive. Thanks for your help so far.
