In 1881 Bryan is the son of John and Susannah ?elton (what is that first letter?)

No, in 1881 Bryan was a Ser(vant) to the SKELTONs.

Perfect, thank you for the proper interpretation.  That makes more sense.
Ruskie, in your answer re the 1841 census:
what do the letters Y, FS and MS mean?
and
you mentioned Scotland's People earlier and getting a credit.  What is the link for that?
CaroleW, in your 1901 reference you had Forest Road after Catherine's name, was that their residence?
Thank you again for all of your help.  This is being most interesting

That makes more sense.

The abbreviaions used in the 1841 census are given here - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~somtcen/1841instructions.html

Much more fun to check it yourself

1901 actually had Forest H^d - Forest Head (her birthplace) - see http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CUL/Farlam/Bulmer1884.html

I'd just finished answering all your questions and lost the lot .... 

Thanks for helping Geoff.

Good free sites include:
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ (all records not complete for all areas)

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0bq/ (this is the IGI) (not complete. Submitted records need to be treated with caution but extracted records are usually accurate)

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ (Scotland's People) (You need to register and purchase a minimum number of credits)

Ruskie, Thank you again.  Your leads have been most helpful and assistance much appreciated.  Too bad you lost your previous answers, I am now curious as to what they were.  The response to my query has encouraged me to file another query on James Greggains.  Have a great day

[Ruskie]

(I just lost a longer version of my previous post - partially answered by Geoff).
Forgot to mention that IGI extracted records have been taken from the parish records so should be accurate, whereas submitted records are sometimes just a guess by a member of the LDS Church and may or may not be accurate.

Ruskie, good to know, thanks.  Do you think that I will getting any more hits on this query or should I close it?  The person in charge of the site sent an e-mail concerning closing sites when one is completed.  Is there an index of surnames in closed queries?

[Ruskie]

If you think your original question has been answered (ie deaths of Bryan and Josephine) then you can modify and add "completed" to your heading. I believe that anyone googling your Atkinson names will still be able to find this post and reply to it or contact you. I don't think there is an index of names.

 Have come late to this site whilst researchings GREGGANS family from Liverpool, England. Have established link with James Greggains as follows:-
James Greggains, born Brigham 1879? His father James Greggains, born 1833 in Broughton, near Cockermouth. That James was one of 9 children born to William and Jane Greggains.
The oldest of William and Janes children was John Greggains. John had 4 children one of whom, Joseph , moved to Liverpool. Joseph is my Great Grandfather, but the name has been corrupted to Greggans. There are a large number of Greggans in the Liverpool area.
