Hi Pauline,
                 thanks, I didn't have the 1861.That has been one of the problems
with tracing George, he was always on the move. He was in London, Durham, Bradford, HULL, Chester, Middlesex and he ended his days in Manchester. And those are just the ones that I know about. He is listed as Tailor and then Travelling Showman, so I wonder if he was perhaps  employed as a costumier for a Circus or Show. He also, it seems, was never legally married to Ann as I have never been able to find a Certificate and as for his birth!! I employed a researcher in his place of birth ( Frankfurt Am Maine) but they couldn't trace him, even though he was Roman Catholic and there are "masses" (pun) of documents available from the 1825-1830s. So thank you and indeed thank anyone who turns up some info on George, I greatly appreciate the help.

Bye for now,
                  Lister.

Hi,
    my ancestor came from Frankfurt about 1840. He was described as a Tailor, however in a later Census, he is described as a " Dealer in Phither".???
Any idea as to what that is/was? In later Censuses he is a Travelling Showman and finally a Hawker. It is definitely spelt PHITHER and not Feather.
My local Library/Heritage Centre is stumped.

Can U help??

Bye for now,

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: James ELLIS, b.1713?, Bolton By Bowland
« on: Sunday 29 October 06 00:06 BST (UK)  »
Hello Ticker,
                    FINALLY, I have a bit more info on my quest for the birth of James Ellis, he married a lady named ANNA LISTER. However, I still need the name of his mother. Also, I think he was born in 1702, not 1710.

Hope someone can assist,

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: my ellis family again
« on: Monday 09 October 06 13:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi Janet,
             could you do me a favour? When you are searching for your Ellis's,
could you keep an eye out for any info on a family(s) with people named Lister Ellis, James Ellis, Francis Ellis and William Ellis possibly in the same family c.1780. My Ellis's were from Dewsbury, Bingley and Bolton by Bowland areas.

Many thanks,
                      Lister

Hi Chris,
             many thanks for the offer. Could you look for the marriage of
John WILDE to Betty PENNY at Cheadle Cheshire on 18 November 1805?
I have them on the IGI, but it gives no further information.

Thanking you in advance,

                  Steve.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / James ELLIS, b.1713?, Bolton By Bowland
« on: Friday 05 November 04 10:11 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please lookup the Birth of James Ellis c.1710-13, in Bolton By Bowland? According to the IGI his father was Robert Ellis c.1680, but no mention of his mother. There are a number of Roberts and James's, so I'm stuck 'till I find Robert's wife.
I would really appreciate assistance with my brick wall .

Thanks, in advance

Ireland / PRONI Marriage Lookup Please :-)
« on: Tuesday 02 November 04 10:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hello folks,
                can sks please do a lookup in the 'BURKE Collection' for me?
Under 'GAVIN' there should be something about Catherine GAVAN marrying
a Patrick McCARTHY in about 1852. My family tree has reached Ireland in nearly every branch, but this is the only information I have that is actually in Ireland. For all the other branches I have only their names and D.O.B's.
I would be so gratefull for the lookup and also any suggestions as to where
to begin tracing my others, when I have no County or Townland info.

Hope you can help,
                                Lister.
