Hi To everyone I do look-ups for. Just because I can't find your ancestors dosen't mean they aren't there.There is a number of reasons I can't find them 1/ I can't read the writing 2/ The writing is that bad the World and his Wife can't read the writing 3/ I have missed them If the latter is the case I am very sorry, please accept my appologises. Good luck to you all in you search's Chris

Hi Chris, If you are still doing these lookups can I ask about my husband's GG Grandmother? Ellen LONSDALE born Dishforth, Yorks and would be about 14 in 1871. By 1881 census she had married (surname Pease) and was living in Tower Street, Richmond, Yorks with two children. If you find anyone likely I'd love to know who her parents and siblings were. Thanks, Linda

hi janet thanks for looking for me! Yeah they are my relatives! If you get a chance can u look for this lady for me, Ellen Jane Atkinson. She married Edwin Mitchell Merritt (the grandson that i thought may be living with David and Sarah) in 1875. I believe her father and mother went under the name of Botterill (thomas and Precilla) Thanks once again lou x

Does anyone have information about the Strong Family, they lived near or in Rotherham. I've got to Francis William Strong circa 1870's an Iron Moulder. I've just started so he is as far back as I've got. Mike

Hi Debbie C I would love to help you find Annie but I need a little bit more info if possible like a place in Yorkshire to start looking. This census hasn't got a name index and as there is 31 cd to search it would take me ages.The only thing I can do in the mean time is keep an eye out for her while I'm doing other look-ups. I hope you understand,Sorry I can't be more helpful.Hopefully someone else can be Chris

Hi,Chris, can you look up Thomas Philip Schofield b 28 sep 1867 Todmorden. I know nothing else except that. He emigrated to New Zealand but I dont know if he went alone or with his parents so some more names would be very useful. Thank you Gloria

Hi Chris Sorry to trouble you again but just before xmas you looked up Greenleys in North Burton and Flixton/Folkton for me.You found this entry:- Robert Greenley, Head 34, ag Lab, b.North Burton Mary A Greenley Wife 32 Elizabeth H Greenley, daur 10, b. North Burton John T Greenley, Son 7, b. North Burton Matthew H Greenley, Son 2, b. North Burton William W Lyons, Nephew in law 8, b. East Ayton Does it give an address at which they were living? This would help me enormously as I lose this family between 1868 when they were in N. Burton and 1881 when they turn up in Filey. Regards Jeanette

Hi Chris It is pretty definately Hodson though might have been spelt wrong on census. I think this is her family in 1881. 4 Court 1 Sussex St Sheffield. I am fairly sure as her father I know is John and she named one of her sons Emmanuel. John aged 51 labourer in steel works born Derby Mary 49 Newton Heath Sidney 29 Labourer Sheffield Emanuel 29 labourer Sheffield Ada 14 Sheffield By this time Emily was Emily Hanton living in Psalter Lane Kimberworth.
