Hi, I am new to this list and hoping that someone is able to help me. I am looking for information regarding my g.granddad THOMAS WILLIAM MARKHAM. He was born in Hull in 1863. He was a Blacksmith and I am told by relations that he won prizes at the Harrogate show for blacksmithing. Will there be any records surviving giving such information? I believe that he left the marital home and any details of his whereabouts other than Hull would be greatly appreciated. I also believe that other generations of MARKHAM'S were blacksmiths in and around E. Yorkshire - such as Wressle, S. Cave and other places - any information regarding these also very welcome. Many thanks in anticipation Freda Good Malvern, Worcs.
