Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: RICE (Armley/Wortley - Leeds) - missing Jewish link
« on: Sunday 11 November 12 21:41 GMT (UK)  »
I have now found out the following:

Thomas Rice (baptised 5.3.1853 in Castledermot)

Father: Patrick Rice
Mother: Mary Germaine

Patrick and Mary's other children, Thomas' siblings, were:

John 1837
Catherine 1839
Michael 1842
Anne 1845
Patrick 1848
(Thomas 1853)

So - John, Catherine, Michael, Anne or Patrick COULD have moved to England and married into a Jewish family. That might be harder to locate.

It might also be Mary Armstead's siblings which did so - and I've found nothing on them so far.

Nightmare!

Any hope at all of finding the siblings and parents of Thomas Rice then?  :-\

Irish censuses from the mid to late 1800s seem hard to come by.

We know he was 48 in 1901, so born either 1852 or 1853 (in Kildare), but finding his siblings is proving very difficult.

Just found out he's her brother. That's one mystery solved... now onto the Jewish query. Might be a tougher nut to crack!

Hello all,

My great-great aunt Mary Rice used to mention that some members of her family (possibly cousins) were Jewish tailors in Leeds.

I was wondering, using the information below, whether you might be able to delve a bit deeper and unearth something for me?

Many thanks!

Here's the Rice family in 1901, living at Victoria Square in Leeds. The Mary in bold is the person who mentioned her Jewish relatives.

Thomas Rice (head) 48
Mary Armstead (wife) 47
Herbert Rice 18
Vincent Rice 17
Agnes Rice (my great-grandmother) 12
Mary Rice 8
Jane Rice 6
Thomas Rice 7
Joseph Rice 1

(Frances Armstead - relation to Mary? Can't read) 37

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Date and colour my great-grandad
« on: Monday 03 September 12 10:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

This is my great-grandad, who lived 1878-1928.

Assuming this is a military photograph, do you think it could be linked to one conflict in particular?

He would have been 36-40 during WWI, so this looks like it could be it.

Can you identify which forces he was in from the photo, and which rank?

Edit: found out he was with the Wolds Waggoners Special Reserves! Very interesting: "The Waggoners' Reserve was a volunteer corps of 1,000 local farmworkers who used horse drawn wagons taking supplies to the trenches in WW1."

Finally - could you please add some colour to him if the photo is not too small.

I'm afraid this is the biggest file I have of him.

Many thanks!

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Thomas Lawson (1809-1874) - Soulbury
« on: Sunday 02 September 12 18:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've hit a bit of a wall beyond my great-great-great grandfather, Thomas Lawson.

I believe his d.o.b is correct: 1809, in Soulbury, Bucks.

He died, I believe, in 1874 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.

He married Catherine Constance Smith.

I'd love to go back another generation though, but all the records I have found state 'NO FATHER, NO MOTHER' etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
