Yorkshire (West Riding) / Clegg family Halifax
« on: Thursday 09 September 10 17:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for info on the family of John Clegg, 06/1813 Ovenden, Yorkshire - 1896 Halifax his wife was
Sarah Ann c1816 - 1871 Halifax Yorkshire. There children were:
Walker Clegg c1844 Halifax
Adah Clegg c1841 Halifax
John Clegg c1847 Halifax
Ruth Clegg c1851 Halifax
Ziplah Clegg c1839 Halifax
I have found baptisms for all of the girls, Adah, Ruth and Ziplah, but none for the boys. Looking at the Hebrew names, there is obviously a Jewish connection and I would like some help trying to find it??!!!
Many thanks in advance

Buckinghamshire / Prince Risborough Gas Works
« on: Wednesday 24 March 10 13:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for any information at all on the Gas Works in Princes Risborough. I know that it opened up in 1862 and closed in 1960. My ancestor John Bunce was the manager there on the 1871 census, and also lived there with his wife and children. Although he was born in Bucks, on all the other census' and records I have on him he lived in Oxfordshire after his marriage. He was a Coach smith on all other records. I am trying to find out how and why he went from coach smith to manager of a gas works and then why he left to return to his previous occupation. Also why he moved back to Bucks and then returned to Oxon again. Also any other information on the gas works such as location or pictures would be most welcomed.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi
Many thanks for the help! Will visit the headstone and try washing it gently. I may even go down the 'pre-technology' route and take a few rubbings from it as well. Thanks for trying, Ive got a little more to go on now I have a rough date!
Many thanks!!!!

Hi

Was wondering if anyone could possibly try to bring out the writing on this headstone. It belongs to an Eliza Bowden. I am looking in particular, for any dates that can be found?

Many thanks!!
