Hi List: Does anyone have any Edward Dunns on their tree? These are my Edwards: Edward Dunn b: London Married: London Elizabeth b: London Parents of: Edward Dunn b: London 1813, Christened: 15 July 1813 at Faith Under St Paul, London. Married: August 1836. Town of Hedon, parish of Augustine. Hannah Wilson b: 1816 Roxby, England. Moved to Scotland shortly after 1836. Most of these great-great and great-great-great grand parents and descendants were associated with the glass and china sales business in London, Hull and Scotland. This is where my saints on the family tree descend from.----Jim

Regular readers may know I have been trying to track down my great- grandmother Ann Eliza PARR. According to the 1881 census she was born at South Kilsey (sic) Lincs. She said herself she was born 12 May 1857. I know from her marriage certificate that her father was John PARR, and in the 1881 census he is living at Welton with his wife Lissey and his grandson. I knew my (great) uncle Charlie was named Charles William after her brother, so I looked for a Charles William PARR and found one born 14 August 1854 at West Rasen. The father was John PARR, and the mother was Sarah (formerly SHAW). I then found a marriage at Sculcoates registry office on 01 August 1877 of Charles William PARR and Eliza BASSETT, both living at North Ferriby (where my grandfather was born). Charles William PARR's father is again John PARR, and Charles gives his age as 22, which fits in with the birth certificate. One of the witnesses is my great grandmother, by then Ann Eliza TINDILL. I then looked in the BVRI and found John PARR (f William, PARR) m Sarah SHAW (f John SHAW) 31 Jul 1853 Goxhill, Lincs. So this looks like Charles' parents, but where is Ann Eliza? I wonder if anyone could please look at the Parish Records for North Ferriby to see if Ann Eliza PARR was baptised there rather than at South Kelsey any time after 12 May 1857? Then I only have to puzzle out where Lissey fits in to the picture! John -- John Rouse, searching for PARR and TINDILL in Yorkshire.

Dear One and all I have recently found that a relative was residing at The Tudor House in Cottingham as shown in a Bulmers listing for 1892. I wonder if anyone could help me by advising which road in Cottingham this is likely to have been so that I can check it out with the newly released 1891 Census. This Census on CD's is excellant but I have only used 5 of the 31 discs. David

Hi List, I have just thanks to whoever posted the address of the IGI batch numbers site found someone I have been looking for for ages (Plus another 3 rellies that i didn`t know about) It`s been a really good way to access the information that I couldn`t previously get to. Just thought I would post my interest in case someone else is researching the same family or might have come accross some in their travels. I have an Alice Craven who married John Lightowler on 25th sept 1815(Elvington,Yorks) Alice born in 1780 / 81 (Malton) Cheers, Dawn (from Boiling Yorks !!!!) ;o))

Dear Chris Thanks for your research which is interesting as it contradicts what I found in Websters Unabridged Dictionary of 1913 which is on the web: Stang, n. [OE. stange, of Scand. or Dutch origin; cf. Icel. stöng, akin to Dan. stang, Sw. stång, D. stang, G. stange, OHG. stanga, AS. steng; from the root of E. sting.] 1. A long bar; a pole; a shaft; a stake. 2. In land measure, a pole, rod, or perch. [Obs. or Prov. Eng.] Swift. To ride the stang, to be carried on a pole on men's shoulders. This method of punishing wife beaters, etc., was once in vogue in some parts of England. I like the last bit but definition 2. fits my context very well. The deed I have says '3 acres and 3 steng in East Field' at Tunstall. It does look as if 'steng' is just an alternative spelling of 'stang' that that it means 'rod,pole or perch' presumably in the local Holderness vernacular. Regards, Peter --- "C. J.

Hi Mary My ancestors (HARRISON and HICK) lived in Wheldrake. HARRISON'S moved there by 1840 and were still there in 1881. I've got printouts of a couple of pages from the 1861 and 1881 census for Wheldake and the booklet for the EYFHS booklet for MI's for the church there if you'd like me to look anything up for you. My sister lives not too far from the village and we visited the churchyard before I'd done any research into my family history. Best wishes Val in the West Midlands

Peter, The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary does not give 'steng' but gives 'stang' as simpley 'a measure of land'. How Heavy,How Much, and How Long?' by Colin R Chapman, Lochin Publishing, 1995. ISBN 1 873686 09 9 defines a 'stang' as equivalent to one acre, though the exact area would vary according to the type of soil, since the definition is 'the area that a team of 8 oxen could plough in a morning. Regards, Chris Watson

Is this the correct list to be subscribed to for Wheldrake (Weldrake?), just south east of York? I had been subscribed to Yorksgen. It was extremely interesting, but I know so little about my family at this time, that I found it a bit overwhelming, and thought I should concentrate on a smaller area. Does this make sense, or should I belong to both? Mary

Dear Listers, Could SKS with the 1891 census look up Rosanna/Rozanna CROFT born approx 1860 in Brookhouse. I requested her birth certificate from the ONS but they could not find it. I need to find her before she was married. Thanks Lyndsay

While looking at Alne parish records, the father at a christening was listed as "Royal Ascaseras Sherrif". I am not sure of the spelling of the middle word. Does anyone know what it is? Regards Noel Flower
