MIs Howden 1848/49

[silicondale]

Request for Jill - very kind of you to offer these MI lookups !

I'm trying to work out the family relationships of Hannah Boniston of Howden (died 1848) and Catherine Lawton of Asselby (died 1849), and wondered if either or both might have been buried at Howden Minster. Just a long shot that there might be more information than in the will or death certificate.

The big prize would be to find an MI for Jasper Boniston, died 1832, but I have no idea where he died. Could have been Selby or Howden or anywhere in between. Problem is that he is elusive and seems to have left very little trace in official records (I've found an alternative spelling 'Burniston' in IGI - a 1767 christening and a different marriage, in 1789).

Also (a bit cheeky) - if you have an index, I'm looking for any Dalbys from 1700 to 1850s.

many thanks in advance for anything

many thanks indeed, Jill - that's wonderful.

It does indeed fill in some of the blanks, though not the ones I was expecting to fill. Also gives me another Dalby line to work on, as I had nothing at all on William until now.

I have returned to this after many years, and there are still a number of gaps in the Dalby records, though I've managed to sort out the Bonistons and Lawtons. Maybe I'll need a day trip to Beverley to trawl through the registers!

Particular questions about the 3 Feb 1808 burial of Margaret Warner. If this was indeed Margaret, daughter of David Dalby, she would have been born in 1765 but I've found no baptism record. This was before her mother Elizabeth, a Roman Catholic, had been baptised in the Church of England on 2 Nov 1766. I don't know if that is relevant. Margaret's sister Ann was baptised on 11 Oct. 1766, and her brother John on 18th May 1765. All this doesn't seem to leave much time for Margaret to have been born in between John and Ann, though I don't have their actual dates of birth, of course!
Another question is when and where did Margaret marry Samuel Warner, and where did he come from? The only marriage I can find was 20th April 1800 at St.Mary's, Lambeth, LONDON!  Not quite as unlikely as this may sound, as from the early 1800s her younger brother Octavius was living in London where he was working as a customs officer.

So - I have particular lookup requests - birth/baptism of Margaret Dalby in Howden or Asselby around 1765, daughter of David and Elizabeth. And some information about Samuel Warner - was he a Londoner or a Yorkshireman? I haven't found any mention of him anywhere near Howden. He'd have been born mid-1700s and died late 1700s-to1800s. Could be that he was living in east Yorkshire all the time, but somewhere that the records haven't yet been digitised.
