Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: HATTON - St. Peters (Bradford Cathedral) - Dead End. Single Mother ?
« on: Wednesday 30 July 14 00:01 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for your further work on this one Goughy. Once again, I appreciate the help and suggestions.  That IS an interesting theory and (as we all know) stranger things have happened. 
I like how it sounds and will keep it in mind and try to figure out how I can try to verify a little. (Maybe check for siblings of Mary and look for naming patterns down the line or something - ?)
Thanks.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / HATTON - St. Peters (Bradford Cathedral) - Dead End. Single Mother ?
« on: Tuesday 29 July 14 15:35 BST (UK)  »
Hello all.  I was hoping for some advice.  I am looking for the parents of my 3xs g-grandfather.

His name is Henry Hatton.  I have his baptism record from West Yorkshire, Parish of Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral) - born September 16, 1819, baptized on March 26, 1934 (15 years later).  Anyway, on the record it lists Thomas and Mary Hatton as his parents, but Thomas is crossed out and Mary is listed as a spinster.  I am wondering what "the RC experts" think - if "Hatton" was Thomas' surname prior to being crossed out (in which case I don't know who Mary is), or if Mary Hatton is his mother's maiden name (in which case I don't know who his father is).

As I am writing, I am wondering if ordering the birth record is the only way to shed some light?

Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Is there any way to gain access to the Barnhill Poorhouse Applications, other then visiting the Mitchell Library i person? (I am in NY).  I am looking for information on John McLean - died Oct. 13, 1915 @ 62 in Barnhill Poorhouse. (born 1853+/- Kippen?). Thank you.  McCann

I am searching for information on the Given Family, Kilaghtee Parish, Dunkineely, Donegal County - and how I can obtain more information.  I have  . . . 

Eliza (Elizabeth / Lizzie) Given(s) was born around 1851 +/- or 1855 /- and her parents are (possible) Robert and Jeanie (Downs) or Ann (Dane/Dean). 

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: ELIZA COOK - Death look up please
« on: Saturday 05 March 11 03:51 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you both very much. 

Shirl, I will order that one - looks good. Thanks again.

Carole W, thank you for the additional info, but I do believe the original age was correct - it is the same in previous census information.  Also, in the 1841 census she has a 7 year old so I dont think Eliza of Eliza and Amos is her. 

She was married to Daniel Cook (although I cannot find marriage info, I gather sometime between 1828-1941 (likely 1933-34 or so).   But I have been unable to find any information here either.  The marriage could have taken plce in Ireland -the cenus says she was either born in Renfrew or Ireland. ?????

Perhaps there will be some information on the death record ???

Thanks again.

Lanarkshire / JOHN MLEAN info help please.
« on: Thursday 03 March 11 03:54 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a wall with this line, but may have come across what I believe may be a sibling of my ggg gf, Alexander McLean. 

1881 Census.  John McLean 48 (general plumber) born Haddington, James 19 (plumber) born Lanark, Mary Ann Sloan (servant), 2 Huntingdon Place, Glasgow, Lanark.

Can someone help me find info on John McLean to see if I can connect the two.  (Alexander's grandson lived at 5 Huntingdon Place, and his in-laws lived at 1 Huntingdon Place and 4 Huntingdon Square - that is why I believe there is a connection with John and James above).

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
