Re: Amy Johnson, my grandmother used to be a cleaner for the Johnson family when they lived in South Lane, Hessle. I am not sure of what years she worked there but it was probably before the first world war. My grandmother died in 1949 aged 60. John Alderton also went to Kingston High School. Hilary

Hello I am new to your list. At present I have name interests in East Yorkshire, as well as West Yorkshire. I was born in East Yorkshire and am now living in Canada. I belong to the Sheffield mailing list, and I am fascinated that my family too are rumoured to have a connection to Amy Johnson. My cousins tell me that the connection comes in through Robert Johnson, who was born in Kingston upon Hull. He moved to Sheffield and married a Catherine McKay. My GGrandfather and GGrandmother. My Grandmother Mary Johnson married a Charles Frederick Dixon (Sheffield)I was told that Amy was a cousin of some kind. I found a wonderful account of Amy Johnson on the Internet and found that although she was born in Hull, she attended the University of Sheffield. She was known as the Worlds 1st woman ground mechanic, as well an excellent flyer. Tragically she died in an accident while flying a plane from Scotland to a Base in England for the R.A.F. in the early 40's. Her plane hit some Barrage balloons over the Thames River. A man who jumped in to save her also drowned. She had previously had premonitions of drowning...

Hello Listers, I have recently subscribed to the mailing list, as my paternal roots are in Humberside. My grandmother Fanny Beatrice CANHAM was born in 1885 Aldbrough, the fifth of seven children (6 of them girls). Her parents WILLIAM SPINK CANHAM and ANNIE ELIZABETH DEARING were married in 1876 at St John and St Martin, Beverley. William Spink CANHAM, baptised at Humbleton in 1841, was the son of John CANHAM and Elizabeth SPINK of Fitling.He had brothers Robert, John, William, George and Joseph, and a sister Anne. John CANHAM and Elizabeth SPINK married in Aldburgh in 1838. John CANHAM, baptised at Humbleton in 1816 was the son of farmer William CANHAM and Ann Carrick WRIGHT. Elizabeth SPINK, baptised in Aldbrough in 1812, was the daughter of Joseph SPINK and Ann Clark, who married in 1809 at Rise That's as far as I've got. The Humbleton parish records get very unreadable and although there's a Marmaduke CANNOM and Marmaduke CANNAM, I can't connect them with any certainty Has anyone got any connection with any of these families? The Canhams seem to come from a long line of farmers in Fitling, then for some reason between 1888 and 1898 they moved to Darlington to work in a laundry. The other brothers all left farming too, and on the 1901 Census Robert is a postman in Aldbrough, John is an Agricultural Labourer in Aldbrough, Joseph is a dock labourer in Hull, George is a bricklayer's labourer in Hull and I believe John went to America. In 1881 they were all farmers with land and employees (except George who was a grocer), so what happened? My Auntie Doris, the youngest Canham, who was born in Darlington in 1898 told me once that foot and mouth ruined the family. Was this the case? Dorothy E Smart Altrincham Cheshire getsmart@beeb.net

Hi to all, I think HULLSHIRE probably disappeared when Hull became the City and County of Kingston upon Hull. HULLSHIRE contained such areas as North Ferriby, Anlaby, Hessle, Kirk Ella, Dairycoates, Swanland and Willerby. It would have also have have contained other small hamlets within these parishes. Kind regards. Jean Garforth - HULL

Thanks Chris for transcribing and making these available to all of us. It's very interesting to see the distribution of names. I was surprised to find only 1 Dry(e), 1 Hope & 2 Ringroses. Perhaps others were living in the Kingston upon Hull area not covered in your transcription or were amongst the ones that got away. I know that Ringrose originates in East Yorkshire. Perhaps the Hope's & Dry's were incomers. Other names like my Hodgson's & Walker's I found in plentiful numbers. It really makes one think about their lives to find that a private individual would own a musket or a corselet & that these would be provided for those that couldn't afford them. I assume a corselet is a breastplate? Cheers Christina --------------------------------- With Yahoo! Mail you can get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs

Martin/ Gail For what its worth there is a statue of Amy in Prospect Street outside the Prospect Centre in what used to be the site of Kingston General Hospital. My mother used to know the Johnson family who lived in Cottingham. My mother used to tell me that Amy was always called Amy until she became famous and was told to address her as Miss Johnson in future. I do have a number of Johnson names on my train but the youngest on my list was born in 1887. Whether these lead to Amy only time will tell.

Dear Gail, One very small piece of information I have about Amy Johnson, which my mother has mentioned many times over the years, was that they went to the same school, Kingston High School in Hull, although not at the same time. The actor Tom Courtney was also a pupil there incidentally.

Extended to Swanland? That is the first I have heard of it. Being a Hessle lad the Hull boundary has always been on First Lane Hessle. Maybe it wasn't like this in 1890 but certainly was during the 20th century.

Hi Folks, Sorry to come a bit late in this subject - I've been ill with some awful viral infection and have been ignoring all but the most urgent emails. To try to clarify a few things: A quick look at the Genuki page for Hull would have told you that until 1897, Hull was a town and not a city, therefore any records before that date would refer to a town. The same Genuki page also tells you that Hull (or Hullshire) is a county. There are several expressions used in these circumstances: In the county of itself. In the county of its (own) name In the county of said town and others. It is therefore a reasonable conclusion (as has been suggested by several people) that the line reads In the county of said town. Dave: Sunk Island is the area of reclaimed land to the south of Patrington -originally extra-parochial, but later a parish.

Hi Bev I don't know if this is going to answer your problem but it is worth trying as it worked for me when I kept getting error messages when trying to use the FreeBMD site. 1 Open Norton Internet Security 2 click on "Options" across the top 3 click on "Internet Security" on the drop down list 4 click on "Web Content" tab 5 click on "Add Site" at lower left 6 a window headed New Site\Domain opens and the cursor will be flashing AFTER the "www." You need to DELETE the "www." and enter "freebmd.rootsweb.com" 7 the right hand half of the "Web Content" page that you are on should be open under the "Global Settings" tab, under the "Information about visited sites" heading uncheck the "Use default settings" box and click in the "Permit" hole. 8 click on "OK" 9 close Norton Internet Security. That solved the problem I had - hope it works for you. Don in Middlesbrough

Hi Hull was once the town and county of Kingston-upon-Hull, and is again really as we are now a unitary authority we are the city and county of Kingston-upon-Hull, but most people prefer to think of themselves as residing in the county of East Yorkshire, myself included. From Brown's Illustrated Guide to Hull, 1891, republished by Mr Pye books in1992: "Hullshire, or the Town and County of Kingston-upon-Hull, extends from the Hull westwards to Swanland, a distance of about nine miles in length, and from the Humber northwards to Hunsley Beacon Division - an average distance of two miles in breadth." I can't remember exactly when Hull became a city, but it was in the late 1890s.

Hello All, RE: COLLINSONs I have six COLLINSONs that have married into my family and would be pleased to pass on their decendant's details. Two of them married into one of my farming families who were well established over on the far east coast of the East Riding.

Hi Hilary How are you? It's a long time since we have been in touch! So you have Collinson's on your tree? So have I for that matter! I guess this could go the way of the Ward family when there was no link between our two lines. I have just had a quick look and my Collinsons are from Beverley, Howden, Hull and Anlaby. The one in Anlaby is Spence (maybe it should be Spencer?) Collinson born in 1838. Going further back I have Elizabeth born 1792 but I don't know where.
