Find Ancestors

Hi Sue, Would you be able to have a look at 15 Hall Car Street in Sheffield for me on the 61 census to see if there is a Preen family there at all. They were there in 71 and headed by a Thomas Preen. Thanks, Matt

Hello, Sue. Would you be able to look for the Crowther family in Whitecote, Bramley area for 1861 Samuel Crowther about 51/52 years old, his wife Emily, possibly Isabella, John Richard, Tom, William and Mary. Thank you for your time. Susan

Hi Sue Can you please look up 81/91 for 3 Hatfield Street, Leeds? Also 81/91 7 Ascot Terrace, Leeds? Any help you can give is much appreciated- I am looking for all people at that address and their ages/relationships etc. Thanks Donna

Hi Sue I wonder if you could trace a Messenger family living in Almondsbury Huddersfield. In 1841 there was Francis aged 45(his wife Sarah was missing)Abraham(20)and James(20)and they lived in North Gate . There should also be another Abraham Messenger + wife Martha and son James somewhere in Almondsbury. Do you have access to West Ardsley too? Many thanks. Anne

Hi Sue, thanks for your offer. Please could you look up the family infomation from 1901 Census for SWINTON YORKS. I believe there were 2 TINKLER families there in 1901. Please could you give me ALL their details. I am keen to know the parentage of PERCY TINKLER who was 9 at the time. Thanks very much, Andy

sorry janet. i would need more info. is that her married or maiden name. when and who did she marry. names of children, etc. plus which census have you got her on, and which do you need ?

Hi Sue If you have any more time to spare I would be grateful if you could have a look for the THOMPSON family in BACK STREET, BRAMHAM in the 1961 census I would expect something along the lines of: George, Head, 39yrs, Labourer, born Spofford Ellen, wife, 32yrs, born Bramham Matthew, son, 10yrs, born Bramham Mary Jane, daughter, 4 yrs, born Bramham and possibly another son George about 1mth. I have them in the 1871 census and would be interested to see if there were any other children. Many thanks. Regards, Janet.

hi ellen/ janet, lol. i have found them. george/37 ellen/32 william/12 matthew/10 john/8 james/6 mary jane/5 george/2 i have saved the image, message me your e mail address and i will send you it, sue. judith have forwarded the image for you, sue.

WOW! If you answer all these queries you are going to be at it for days and days!!! IF you have time, do you think you could look for John Sharman in the 1851 census for Hollesley, Suffolk. It was only a small village, so there is no address. I expect him to be about 30 years old, married, a shoemaker and giving his birth place as Sudbourne, Suffolk. Thanks so much and enjoy the rest of your Easter. Trina Balharrie.

sorry trina- i only have the yorkshire census. sue.

Hi Sue Many thanks for your kind offer. Is it possible to look for a family in Brough, nr Hull in the 1851/61 census? Think it was only a small village in those days. Names are:- Henry Revell, born Hull 18223/24, his wife Elizabeth and son John. Many thanks Jenny

hi susan- the maiden names are not on the census. but i checked ancestry. a george richmond married a mary louise naylor. dec 1867. leeds-9b 659. the second one you gave- are the d o b's right. they seem to vary a lot. and the third i cannot find on ancestry- have you checked for these marriages on freebmd ? sue.

janet- sorry i thought this thread had not been added to since my last reply. do you still need the info you asked for, if not , let me know , and i will have a look, sue.

Hi Sue Is your offer still open? If so, would you mind looking for my rellies in Barugh Green, Barnsley in 1851 I would expect to see:- Elizabeth Cawthorne age 55 born Overton John Cawthorne age 29 born Cumberworth Sarah Cawthorne age 22 born Clayton West James Cawthorne age 14 born Clayton West I am not sure if Elizabeth's husband John was still alive then, but she was a widow in 1861 Many thanks, but don't worry if you can't manage the time Gordon

hi gordon- i managed to find the relevant area in barnsley. unfortunately the area you need is very badly damaged. i managed to read some of the pages- your family were not there. i could make out 'barugh' and 'gawber' on some of the pages , but not a lot else. i will look on the 1841 in that area, fingers crossed that they were there then. sue.

Hi again Sue, Help is very much appreciated. I have the birth certificate for for Ellen Cawthorne, Elizabeth's daughter, who was born 1839 and died 1840 and at that time the family were living in Clayton West, which I believe comes under the Huddersfield area, so I think they could have moved towards Barnsley later than the 1841. I have been unable to find out Elizabeth's husband John's year and place of birth and it must be on the 1851 somewhere as I am fairly sure he was still alive at this time. I have only been looking for this info on and off for the last 20 years!!! Really grateful for your help, although it's not good news that the 1851 is damaged!!!! Gordon
