« on: Sunday 08 May 11 20:08 BST (UK)  »
My wife's ggfather ,John Hickman is shown as living at 'the boat', Wolverley in the 1871 and 1881 census.  Does anyone know what this refers to could it be a canal boat or perhaps a pub

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: What cemetaries are in Bramham?
« on: Saturday 20 March 10 15:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there I was born in Bramham and although I no longer live there I visit my Mother in law who still lives there.  The only graveyard in the village is that of All Saint's Church (C of E).
Next time I am there I will have a look around the churchyard for you, although if the grave marker was wood it may have been destroyed in a fire as this is what happened to the marker on the grave of my wife's grandmother.  She died in the 1920's.
I notice you are interested in Morris from Clifford, there was someone called Morris who lived on Tadcaster Road Bramham in the 1950's and 1960's who kept bees. As far as I can remember it was a father and Daughter.

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism Lookup Please - MILES - Redisham

Thanks Anne for looking at the records for me.
This family had a habit of having children baptised sometimes years after their birth so I guess this could have been the case with Walter.

Hi everyone who is trying to figure this one out it has been taxing me for some time.
Amber 39 the birthplace is definitely Redisham and I have found this parish in Suffolk and the church is St Peter's
I also thought that Maria was the illegitimate child of Sarah Miles who married
Charles Kemp as there is a baptism of Maria Miles 'illegitimate daughter of Sarah Miles' at St Mary Magdalen,Pulham, Norfolk.  Walter Miles later in Life changed his name to Shanks but I do not know if John Shanks was his natural father.  That is what I am trying to find out ! hence the request for ahyone who can look at the parish records

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Baptism Lookup Please - MILES - Redisham
« on: Thursday 23 April 09 13:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Can anyone help with this problem.

I have the birth certificate for Walter Miles born Redisham 16th March 1859.  The mother is Maria Miles but no name for the father.

Does anyone have access to church records for Redisham where there might be mention of the father if Walter was baptised there?  Might there be bastardy records somewhere ?

Hope someone can help.

Dave

Durham Completed Look up Requests / Re: 1851 Routledge in Castle Eden area

Hi
Thanks to both who looked this up, Barbara has got the right one. I know from later information that William was a shoe maker and the children were born in Heselden.
Many thanks for another piece of the jigsaw
