Family History Beginners Board / Re: Looking for Many Familys in The Area

Thank you everyone for the help on where to start looking again.  I have found that people have moved around so much and so often that a ten years span has the person in different countries or different states if they are state side.  I decided that I was going to throw up some of the Hugill information that I have for those that are in england.  As far as my Parker line I only have the father being listed as being in England on the census and it was listed as Yorkshire.  No dates or names. 

So Hugill's:

John Charles Hugill - b. July 25 1878 in Batersby, Yorkshire  ..  d. Marion, OR, USA.     
 -------Father- Joesph Hugill - b. 1850? Kildale, Great Ayton, Yorkshire .. d.  ? Dec 16, 1933? Marion, OR, USA
                                               Father-  Thomas Hugill - b. 1819 ? Kildale, great Ayton, Yorkshire
                                                Mother - Mary ??   b. 1822 ?? Little Ayton, Easby, Yorkshire   ..  d.  1855 Yorkshire
--------Mother- Mary Wrightson b. 1853 ? Ingleby Greenhow, Carlton, Yorkshire  ..  d. Jan 02, 1936 ? Marion, OR, USA
                                                Father- Charles Wrightson  b. 1829 Rainham, Norfolk, England   ... d.  Jan 29, 1917 Marion, OR, USA
                                                Mother- Hannah ???  b 1827 Alnham, Ingleby Greenhow, Yorkshire  ..  d. Aug 19, 1910 Marion, OR, USA

Thanks all, these Again all areas of Yorkshire that I have never even heard of and then I look at it and I cant make sense of it.  Here in the states, You can find people by city, state, and some times the county that the city resided in.  But to someone else that is not from here, I am sure that it is a pain in the rear as well and doesn't make sense.  LOL.  Anyways any thoughts, Ideas or other areas to look at please let me know.  I have a Huge thing going on Ancestry.com and If you think that you might want to look at all the information that I have or cant make sense of any of it...  have a look at ....  Hunt/Wright Family Tree. 

Thanks all ...  If any one needs any help looking for anything here in the states, let me know.  I am great at finding things here, and I know and have traveled the states a lot and know or can find out about most areas.  Anyways, again thank you all for your help.  Any Advice is welcome.

Thank you all so much for getting back to me so quickly.  I guess I should have posted more information on here about the family members that I have, I was just so excited to have actually found something that might help.  LOL.  Sorry.  Besides I wasn't sure exactly where to put this bad boy and how to ask the questions that I have.  I Know very very little of the England stuff, just as I have said very confusing. 

"Michael "Mark" Foley, was believed to have been born in 1871 month is unknown and the year is only a guess with the date of death that I have.  He is listed to have died Oct 3 1924 at the age of 53.  He was married to a Sarah Teasdale born in 1873 in "Redcar" near some place called Stockton on Tees, and died May 4, 1940 at the age of 67. Michael is believed to have had siblings named Tim and Mary and a Half sibling that they called "Paddy".   It is believed he was born in or around Middlesbrough, near South Bank, and that his father and mother might have been from Kilkenney Ireland.  Sarah Teasdale was the youngest daughter of a William Teasdale and Jane Hogg.  Both William and Jane are believed to have been born in Stockton on Tees, but no dates are Known or are even guessed at as well as deaths.  I am guessing that it would have been in the 1840s or some where close to that.  Sarah had four brothers and sisters, Robert who moved to Canada, Louisa (no information), John and it was said he was a train driver, and then Alice who never married.  Sarah was the youngest and it was said that he father William died when she was a very small child.   Micheal and Sarah married and he worked in the shipyards in Stockton on Tees, then they moved because lack of work they moved to Dalton in Furness where Michael went to work for the Vickers-Armstrong  Shipyards in Barrow in Furness as a Crane operator.  He and Sarah remained there until they died.  They Had 7 Children, Patrick "Percy" 1896-1972  and he served in the British Army as a Career solider, Mary "Jane" 1898-July 2, 1946 and she Married a Mr. Clegg and their family some how ended up in Canada, William (my great grandfather) went to work for Vickers-Armstrong Shipyards at the age of 15 and then later came to the states and Married into the Taylor family those of whom they had been friendly with in England, but were not related, Louisa 1903-1990, married a Mr Simpson, but never had any children, Jack "John" 1907-1973 married Anne Doran and had 3 children,  Ellen "Nellie" 1909-was still alive in 1992 and I don't have a death for her, though I am sorry to say that I am sure she has passed on, and Doreen was the baby 1914-1988."   

I have most the wedding dates and the grandchildren names or great grandkids and their dates and stuff, but when my grandparents traveled over there, they didn't get into going through the records and such and there were a lot of UN asked questions.  My Grandfather "William Foley Jr, has now passed on and  He had hopes that one day someone would find something."  If you have any more Ideas on what to look at or you want to know more please let me know. 

I am sorry I have written so much here, I got really excited that someone might have found information that I haven't been able to.  Thank you for the hints tips and others.  As Far as the Hugills and Parkers...  if I didn't over step with this long post then I will through some known names and dates for those lines tomorrow. 

Thank you so much

I have been doing research on my family for 16 years now, have finally come across more names in the same area.   I have about 10 Family lines that all land in Yorkshire, England.  But then there is the areas like Dalton in Furness or Barrow in Furness, or Stockton on Tees or South Bank.  I am not sure how these all fall into the Yorkshire area.  It is all very confusing to me since I am across the pond.  LOL.  Anyways if anyone can help me undstand this a  little more that would be great.  As well as if anyone might have information on some of the following names or think you might ... please holler at me.  I am looking for a Michael "Mark" Foley that was Married a Sarah Teasdale, and he worked at the Vickers-Armstrong Shipyards.  Only one of their Seven childern came to the US.  I have no paternal information on Michael Foley, just that he was born in England and his parents came from Ireland.  Also looking for Any Hugills, Parkers (that might have been disowned or have the story of disowning the son that came to the states.) Spelling on Hugill or Parker might be different as well, that is just the spelling that we have now and the spelling that I have found we carry from England.  Any help or advice and if you think that you might have any information or you want information on what I have put out please contact me.  There is much to share and talk about.  Thank you all for your help and information I am grateful.

Hi sorry to jump in here and ask questions, if I am not supposed to, but I am looking for a relative that Worked at Vickers-Armstrong Shipyards as Crane operators.  This would be my great great grand father and my Great grand father.  Micheal or Mark Foley and his son William Foley.  I don't know anything about the line beyond Micheal and it is very limited what I know about him.  William was the only one out of all the Family that moved to the US.  And from what little I can find everyone was born and lived in the area of Dalton in Furness, Barrow in Furness, and Stockton on Tees.  If anyone might know or think they have something, I will be grateful for any help.  My dad says that he doesn't think that anyone can help me on here.  I know better, I have been researching family history for 16 years now and find the communties very helpful in all areas.  Thanks All. ;D
