Stockdale - look up
« on: Tuesday 21 November 06 13:01 GMT (UK) »

Is there anybody who would take pity on me and help me out. I am flying over to the UK tomorrow and was going to the NYRO but theyre closed for the week!!!!! :'( :'(  So I'm hoping somebody might have the parish records on CD

I'm trying to locate a John Stockdale according to the census he was born c 1811 Richmond N Yorks.
I've found one c 1806 but he died soon after. I'm trying to find John's parentage and I've hit a brick wall.
I've found him on the 1841/1851/1861 he's moved to Co Durham and married 3 times. I've got one his marriage certs but theres nothing on that, plus I've tried the usual routes IGI etc etc

I would be extremely grateful and wouldn't normal ask as I know how busy people are.

Thanks in advance   

Pipj :)

How annoying!     Try contacting the Upper Dales family history group - part of the Cleveland one.  Someone there may have the Richmond records and they also go to Northallerton regularly.  You probably need to get the other marriage certificates.  One of them must have his father on surely?   Witnesses are useful too.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you so much - I'll give them a bash.
I must say in fairness to Yorkshire Archives they did have a quick look for me for John  (2 Johns both of which died!!) so a great big thank you to Yorkshire Archives :D
I've applied for a marriage cert - nothing on that so I've now applied for the 2nd born birth cert (1st was born pre 1837) Watch this space!!

Best wishes Pipj
