Knaresbourough, Askwith lookup

[unclenorm45]

Hi, Norm here from Canada and I am researching my wife's family tree, (she's a Harrogate native)
Anyhow I have some information on her Paternal Grand father. He is John Charles Askwith born c 1898, married to a Gladys Pratt. abt 1921/22
As far as I can ascertain, his father was a Charles William Askwith born c 1875 married to a Helen ? abt 1897 and I think he had 3 brothers, William, Norman and Arthur (mental hospital in Menston) and a sister named Mary. They were from Harrogate.
Thank you all,
Norm

Charles W Askwith; head; mar; 26; joiner carp; Harrogate
Helen do; wife; mar; 26; Bilton

Let me know what you need further back.

Hi Norm

I think Helen is really Ellen, but this could be checked with the marriage / father etc.

1891 census, Bilton - Quarry Lane, Bilton New Park?
RG 12/3521 folio 130 pg 18

Caroline Linfoot; wife; mar; 54; housekeeper; Aberford
George do; son;[blank for marriage status]; 23; painter?; Bilton
Ellen do; dau; 16; serv, domestic; Bilton
George Mathers; g'son; 10; scholar; Bilton


1881 census, Bilton cum Harrogate - Quarry Lane
RG 11/4328 folio 124 pg 20

Joseph Linfoot; head; mar; 43; coachman's labourer; Spofforth
Caroline do; wife; mar; 44; Aberford
George do; son; 13; Bilton
Ellen do; dau; 6; scholar; Bilton
George Mathers; g'son; 10 mo; Bilton
John Oates; lodger; u; 46; quarryman; Spofforth


Ellen Linfoot birth Q2 1874 Knaresborough volume 9a pg 114


Joseph Linfoot marriage to Caroline Mathers Q2 1864 Knaresborough volume 9a pg 171

There is only one Ellen Linfoot born 1874 +/- 5 years in Knaresborough but there are others in Yorkshire, so this is tentative, waiting on the marriage info.
Can't find a Helen at all - perhaps they were putting on airs & graces?

Hi Norm

With the Quarter, the Year, the Volume, the Page number & the Registration District, you can apply to the General Register Office in Southport.

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/order_certificates/index.asp#0

All of the information for Helen / Ellen & Charles W & their parents is there for you to get straight on - good luck!

This site is amazing. I posted my first request earlier this afternoon and thanks to Sandra C, I have gained 3 generations of my wife's ancestors. WOW
I just may become a pest on here.
Thanks again, Norm
