COMPLETE Parish Records Look up for Holme upon Spalding Moor

[jillruss]

Hi Carole,

I checked this out at the East Riding Records Office today.

As I thought, the Holme on Spalding Moor parish records are held at the Borthwick Institute.

The ER office had a microfilm of the Bishops Transcripts. I took a look but, strangely, couldn't find either John Holt in 1770 or Richard in 1772.

I don't really understand this - I see the IGI has both baptisms and that the source is the Bishops Transcripts!! Either the film I looked at wasn't complete, or I missed it - and I don't think I did!!

I think you'd be best going through the Borthwick Institute. Their website is:

Good luck.

Hi Jill
Thanks so much for all the trouble you have gone to, there are not many left like you!!!

It is strange like you say that the IGI records came from there but you couldn't find them - maybe they have been borrowed or filed in the wrong place!! Is that possible? I don't know as I have never been involved with anything like that.
I am going on the website that you sent me and will keep you informed of any development. Thanks once again
Regards
Carole

Hi Alison, Thanks for getting in touch. I haven't worked on my tree for a couple of years now, I thought I had gone far enough. If there is anything I can help you with just let me know.I have just been looking through my files and found Martin and his descendants until 1908.
My tree is on Genes Reunited but I stopped using them and it costs quite a bit to get back on so I have to rely on my written files.

Hi Carole,
I haven't been able to find the marriage for Swithin Holt & Jane.  Was her name Jane Burton? 
Do you know what became of Swithin & Martin's brothers, Robert b.1784 & William b.1789?  Also his half brothers, John b.1770 & Richard b.1772?
Martin's eldest son William, came to Australia with his wife Ann Cook in 1853.  Do you want their family?
Don't suppose you have done a DNA test?
Sorry for all the questions.  I'm loving this & have a lot of gaps to fill in.

Hi Alison
I have just had a quick look at my files, but there is so much to look through, it will take time and as I haven't a scaneer I will have to try taking photos wih my phone or type them out and print them. Things are a bit hectic at the moment, coming up to Xmas but I will do what I can.
I have Swithin's partner as Jane Holderness, I have a photo of their gravestone. There is no record of them being married, but it does say she is his wie on the stone.
Give me time and I will find something for you I hope!!
