Hi Lawrence
I've just joined Rootschat and was interested to read your post about the Sizer family. I have traced my Sizer line back to Richard Sizer from Adel, near Leeds (though he may not have been born there) who married Eleanor Hague in Harewood in 1789. Have you been able to find out any more about your line? A bit of long shot, I know, but I was wondering if you come across my Richard anywhere? The information I have is that Richard and Eleanor moved across Yorkshire and eventually settled in Hull, though my direct ancestor (their son John b 1801) actually moved down to London in the 1820s where he worked as a mast and block maker by the Thames.

Many thanks

Lizzie

Are you aware of a Sizer Family Crest ? If so, your assistance would be quite helpful. Cheers

Burke's General Armory
Harleian Society's Grantees of Arms
Scottish Ordinary Vol 1
Fairbairns Book of Crests

Hello Lizzie.
Sorry Lizzie no, not much more on the Sizer family. 
The IGI have a Christening for a Thomas Sizer in Knaresborough, in 1763 Father Thomas and I think that this could be mine Thomas, he would have been born around this time.
There is also a Richard Sizer, Christening 1767 in Knaresborough Father also Thomas.  But need more infomation about this Sizer family.

Regards Laurence

No joy in;
General Armory II
Reitstap
Scottish Ordinary Vol 2
Gayre's Armorial Who is Who 1979-80
Crozier's General Armory

There is nothing similar listed at the Armorial Ancestors site that lists names from the Herald's Visitations.
