Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Frank Bainbridge

Nothing further in the way of occupation, but birthdate should be 1890.  There seems to be a connection to Birkdale in Lancashire.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Frank Bainbridge
« on: Saturday 23 July 11 22:54 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping someone can help me with a lookup:

In 1913, Frank Bainbridge married Ella Schofield.  The marriage was registered in Whitby in March 1913.  I am searching for the family of Frank Bainbridge and was wondering if someone could try to identify him in the 1901 and 1911 UK census.  It may be a challenge as there appear to be a number of Frank Bainbridges in the region.

US Lookup Requests / Re: Roswell Ranney - Ohio
« on: Friday 17 June 11 21:05 BST (UK)  »
For anyone still following this search for the parents of Roswell Ranney, I have an intriguing possibility:
Joel Ranney (1774-1819) and wife, Polly Buck (1777-1858) moved from Connecticut to Franklin County, Ohio in 1817.  According to their son Joel's obituary, quoted in the appendix section of the Middletown Upper Houses (Ranney) book, he was one of 10 children of Joel and Polly.  So far I have identified five of the children and they are: Mary Ann (1800), Joel (1802), Sylvester (1807), Hatsel (1811) and John (1815).  Has anyone found any information identifying the other five.  From other clues I am finding, Roswell may be one of them.

That's interesting - I'll have to look into Smith Garner a little further.  It wouldn't be the first time somebody referred to themselves as single even though they had been previously married.

Also, thanks for looking Mirf.  With a first name of "Smith" he should eventually turn up somewhere in the world.

Thank you very much, The Mc.  When I look at the 1881 census I see that Smith Hitchcock had a brother named Garner, so I suspect Olive Garner is theirs.  Thanks again.

Hello all

Would someone kindly check the 1900 census for "Smith Hitchcock".  He would have been born 1872 in Clifton, York, and in 1900 should still be living in the Clifton area.  He would be listed as a widower, his wife Lucy (Atkinson) having passed away in 1896 at the age of 24.  I'm wishing to find out if they had any children.

Thank you very much

Hi Michael - it's great to hear from you, especially since you are talking about my Great-Great-Great Grandfather, William Parker Ranney.  I have traced his line back another four generations (William Parker Ranney's father was William (born 1759 in Great Yarmouth), his father was William Ranney (born 1731 in Yarmouth England and his father was George Renney (born c:1700); George's father was Thomas Renney (married Ann).  Here's a link to my chart on Rootsweb:

Contact me by email and I'll send you a genealogy report filling in all of the Ranney lines coming forward from Thomas and Ann.  My email address can be located on the top of the page on that rootsweb link above. (if I write it out in text here I would end up on all kinds of spam lists)
