Hi Mary,
That is interesting information. I have a birth certificate of one of Daniel Burgess Hall's children, his children have the Burgess in their name. I seem to recall reading about a Elizabeth Matsey born Rawcliffe not sure if this is a clue.
I visited York register office and purchased Daniel's marriage certificate, his father is listed as Thomas Burgess Hall (Hawker)
Daniel married Elizabeth Brown daughter of George Brown (Hawker) Elizabeth was born a Scullacoates Lane, Hull.
Witness at wedding is James Swales and Jane Holiday. Residence at time of marriage is Walmgate, York. Thankyou for your help,
Regards Jan
