Hi Jean and Freda, I have all the records of my grandfather who served in the Boer War from 15 Nov 99 to 7 Oct 02. The papers his recruitment including physical details and previous experience (he was in the Militia at the time of applying). It is availabe from the Public Records Office and if you know the Regiment it should be fairly easy. But I think you have to go to Kew to get it It is certainly worth the effort and and very nice to have the records. Gill Smith In cold and snowy Ontario, Canada

Hi Jonathon and Richard, My wife has LAMPLOUGH / LAMPLUGH / LAMPLEUGH ancestors (spellings seem to have been interchangeable) in two branches of her tree: one lot based in Langtoft and Kilham, the other around Leven. The Jonathon LAMPLEUGH Richard refers to was her 5x GGrandfather. Phillis LAMPLOUGH had three older siblings: Mary (c24 Nov 1745), Sarah (c 21 April 1751) and Jonathon (c 25 Feb 1753) plus two younge ones: Jeremiah (c24 April 1762) and John (c12 July 1768). David Brown Lancashire Claretnut@aol.com

I am interested in any information on the Lamplough surname in the Skipsea/Dringhoe area of E.Yorks. Particularly the ancestry and family of Jeremiah born 1818 at Skipsea.

Hello East Yorks List As a new arrival on the list I would like to declare an interest in the BELL family originally of Sculcoates. In particular, my wife's gx2 grandfather was one John Richard BELL, bap. Sculcoates 1806, son of Thomas & Sarah BELL. John was a Cunard Line Captain in the 1850's & 60's. He married a Christina BREMNER from Wick, Caithness. Among their children were: 1) James Richard BELL b. Wick 1841. He was en engineer on the Indian State Railways, and died in Kent in 1913. I know little more about him than that. 2) Thomas Alfred BELL b. Liverpool 1843. He married an Elizabeth HOWARD of Liverpool, became a JP and died in Liverpool in 1923. 3) Christina Sincliar BELL b. Liverpool 1845. She married Henry Griffin WATSON, a merchant, b. Constantinople circa 1849; and lived all her married life in Marseilles where she died in 1946.

Hello to all, I am hoping that there is someone out there who may be able to help with William WHITEHEAD born YORK c1840. He later moved to HULL. He was by trade a Master Boot Maker and somewhere in the depths of my misty mind I seem to recall someone giving me at least 2 WHITEHEADs either from the 1851 Census for YORK ot a Trade Directory.By what I recall, they were Cordwainers or Bootmakers. I am actually trying to trace a different (I think) WHITEHEAD to mine. I have promised an elderly friend that I would try to trace her WHITEHEAD family for her. Any clues or help on this one would be gratefully received because I have no records for YORK. Kind regards. Jean Garforth Researching: HUNNEYBELL - Suffolk & W.

Joy I forgot to say that you might find him in a trade directory. Richard Dawson

Joy A wheelwright is a specialised joiner and is a highly skilled trade. Your gt-grandfather would be most unlikely to attain the level that he did withour serving an apprenticeship. He would have his indentures, which he would guard with his life, but I think it unlikely that his apprenticeship was uregistered. Richard Dawson

Hi My gt grandfather Joseph Pyke/Pike in 1841 Census for Gt Driffield has occupation as Wheelwright In the 1851 Census his occupation is Joiner-master In 1861 Census he is classed as a Joiner In 1871 Census he is classed as Master Joiner (Landowner) Is there anywhere that I can find out if he was registered as a Tradesman for these Occupations? Does Landowner mean that he owner his own business property or home? Any help would be appreciated. Joy Cole joy_bill@optusnet.com.au Gold Coast Australia

Hi all, On the subject of occupations does anyone know what a colour manufacter is? A colour man is someone who mixes or works with dyes. Given this, would a manufacturer be someone who makes the dyes? Regards, Karen

Coul SKS please lok up the 1871 census for Driffield. I am looking for William Clark wife unknown. They had a son James born about 1861, Regards Sandra Matheson Australia

I would appreciate it if anyone with access to the 1891 census would look for me Peter Cranswick son of Henry Cranswick and Edith Annie Gray. TIA Ken Holmes

I found a John Fenwick, 25 years old, born in, Kirton, Lincoln in the 1881 census for Kingston Upon Hull, living at 44 Lansdowne St., and married to a Susie L., 30, born in Hull, York. I am curious if anyone is researching this family. I think the Susie L. maybe Susannah Morrell, daughter of Elizabeth Bates and Joseph Morrell. Joseph & Elizabeth Morrell were living at 45 Lansdowne St. in the 1881 census for Kingston-upon-Hull. Just looking for a possible connection. Jackie
