HI
It would be great if you could look up a marriage of Samuel Lawson and Mary about 1805 Rawdon or Guiseley
Could you also check Thornton Bradford for a Joseph Robinson born abt 1851 the illegitemate child of Susannah Jackson
thanks

It would be great if you could look up the marriage of Samuel Blunt Dec 1858 St. Peter's Leeds.  Who did he marry ( he was my great grandfather and he seems to have had a lot of wives).  Also, can you find the baptism of Frederick Rayner Blunt around 1868, John William Blunt around 1862 and Harry Miller Blunt around 1871.  Any details, particularly who their mothers were, would be gratefully received.
Hope I haven't missed the boat!

HI KathyM,

Is it too late to request a look up?

If not, could I possibly trouble you to look up the baptism of Christopher DAWSON in Leeds in about 1779? I'm afraid that rough birth date is all I have to go on. It id calculated fro the 1841/1851 census, which is also where I got his birthplace from.

Many thanks.

Amy

Hi Amy
I'm going next Monday ..... I will take all these with me, and see what I can get through.  I usually go every other week - I am transcribing ! - but sometimes it's a nice change to do some research !

I will look in look in the Parish Church records for your Christopher Dawson -

do you have his parents names (it will most likely just give the father at that date!) ...and also, any siblings ?

Many thanks Kathy!!

This is a new line for me, so unfortunatly I can't tell you any more info. But I hope Christopher is unusual enough to make your search easy.

Hi Kathym,
I am not asking for a lookup but if during your searches you could just keep an eye open for an Oswald Sturdy baptism circa 1710 and a marriage circa 1734, I would be extremely grateful.
Although the IGI shows some Sturdy families at Leeds I have no reason to think there is a Leeds connection, in fact I have no idea where he came from except it wasn't Nun Monkton.
Oswald had four children baptised in Nun Monkton, Oswald & Thomas both on 21 Jul 1736, Susannah 25 Jun 1739 & Elizabeth 21 Nov 1743.  According to the researcher (paid) neither Oswald's marriage or baptism were found in Nun Monkton PRs.  There was no mention of the mother's name in the baptism entries.
Two Sturdy burials were found in Nun Monkton, Thomas 25 Jul 1726 & Oswald 6 Mar 1742, both were Gardeners.
Susannah Sturdy is my ancestor, she married William Adams at Gt Waltham, Essex in 1766.
Thanks.
Concentrating currently on:
Essex: Card, Harris, Stowell, Theobald/Tibbles & Turner.
Norfolk: Beale, Cork & Dalton.
Yorkshire: Oswald Sturdy birth/baptism c1708, Oswald where the devil are you?
