Emma Report 4 Dec 2009 01:43

I'm trying to trace my grandfathers family who come from Roberttown, Liversedge, Yorkshire, England.

All the info on the family I have is thus -
George Stringer b c1795 Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England
Hannah ?
Richard Stringer b 1837 Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England
Mary Stringer b 1838 Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England
Thornton Stringer b 1839 Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England
Emma Stringer b 1839 Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England
Charles Stringer b 1843 Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England

I would like as much info of the family when they lived in Roberttown, Liversedge, Yrks, England as I'm finding it difficult to find any family connections other than the info I found from the 1841 and 1851 census records.

Ideally I would like to find marriages for the children and the decendantsd from these marriages.


Any help is greatly appreciated
Emma

Hi Emma

If you search the family tree's submitted on this site you will find that there are matches to this family. You can then email the tree owners and hopefully find out the information. I quickly entered Thornton Stringer's details and got three matches.

Hope this helps you.

You cbviously know more about the family than what you have put here or you would not have been able to get back to George & Hannah.

However, I will give you all census records that I can find for the children
