    1. [ERY] William Mainprize of Brandsburton
    2. Martin Cross
    3. One of the pieces of information I accumulated when I was researching speculatively, and wills were 75p, was the will of William MAINPRIZE of Brandsburton. I now know he is not connected to my research, and would be happy to pass it on to anyone with an interest. He died 3rd Sept. 1875 at Bransburton. Other family members mentioned are his son Christopher, son William, daughter Ann RICHARDSON, wife of William John RICHARDSON of Beverley. William was a Yeoman, and widower at the time of the will, (6th Jan 1870). Other names mentioned in the will, who appear to be the tennants of his cottages are: Robert SIMPSON; David HELBECK, Thomas PERHIN (not very clear, could be wrong), Charlotte MALTBY, Robert BARNETT and Richard COLEMAN. One thing that interested me re-reading the will was that he left several cottages and money to his family, e.g. £200 to his daughter, and yet the value of the estate is given as under £100. Was he over optimistic, or perhaps his estate was sorted out prior to his death to avoid duties? Please contact me off list if you like the will. Martin Cross Brighton.

    1. RE: [ERY] Rugby - HULL F.C.
    2. Keith Smith
    3. Elizabeth Many moons ago (when I used to go to the local Rugby League matches), I remember a booklet being produced for the Centenary of Hull F.C. It included many pictures including some from the later years of the 19th century. You may be lucky and find that he is pictured in that. Photos of teams usually list the names of the players (although it may be just the initial for the first name). Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the booklet. Another couple of sources for you to consider is either (a) write directly to Hull R.L.F.C., or (b) try the Hull Daily Mail as they may have a photo in their archives. Best of luck.

    3. ALL published material is usually subject to copyright. As fellow genealogists we should respect the copyright of FHS publications at all times. These publication are brought to us solely by the unselfish volunteers of the FHS and breaches of copyright do result in the loss of sales and have a serious affect on the future publication of further genealogical information. You should always seek the permission of the copyright holder when offering to undertake look ups and usually such permission is freely granted subject to certain conditions. It is a condition of all Rootsweb lists that NO breaches of copyright are allowed and I would respectfully request that all list members abide by those rules when posting directly to the list.

    2. Hi Peter: At the very beginning let me make my stance clear. I do Not resent paying a small fee for information I receive if I receive that information. But damn the charlatan that says he will find information for me, takes my money and then tells me there is no information to be had about my family. This has not happened to me once but every single time I have hired one of these so called professionals. Not only in England but here in America and Scotland. And I haven't even begun to look for my knot headed Irish ancestors. One incidence that makes me very angry occurred in your area. This person had done research on our family and knew exactly how much information I had. (I made sure he knew.) He had charged one of the cousins for the info he had uncovered and they were satisfied. When I got in touch with him he assured me that he would find info on another branch of my tree. He named a figure of about 18 pounds and I sent it. A couple of days later he comes back with a message saying that there was no more info to be found and kept my money. Two weeks later I posted a message on a different board and found that my gr-grandparents were married just a few miles from that mans office. And What church they were married in. Cheated? I believe I was. This information didn't cost even a penny it came from a caring person who was searching his own family tree and was glad to share. I have all the admiration in the world for volunteers like your group who put in so much effort and have said so many times on message boards. But I cannot tolerate a person who defends these charlatans who have discovered a way to make easy money and give no return. Have you noticed that the majority of people who are searching their roots are usually older people who are retired and living on pensions? I am one of those. I receive a small monthly pension and cannot afford to be taken by these unscrupulous people and do not intend to be without fighting back. Enough said.----Jim Brasher

    1. [ERY] re: Family History
    2. Hi Bonny and all, I totally agree with you Bonny, someone did a look-up for me to begin with and told me about the booklets...since then i have spent over £60 at EYFHS. I have told now 6 people the address of the EYFHS...in order that they can purchase the booklets for themselves, therfore I believe a good response in favour of supporting the EYFHS. The booklets are mine, purchased by myself and the info is freely available to all anyway. I am not profiting from look-ups, merely helping acquaintances and friends in repayment for their help to me. Where does the line finish then?? Can I show the books to my family, husband, friends??? or is that also a copyright fraud?? In that case then ALL the lists for the different areas of the world are doing the same on a daily basis! Some people seem to have nothing better to do than moan, and at the end of the day helping each other is the whole point of the lists! BTW I would love to have some information about the volunteer work...especially with MIs...as I would be very interested in doing this in my spare time, I think it was Peter B that mentioned it.

    2. Hello Peter B and All I disagree with your theory on the MI booklets. A kind researcher did a lookup for me in the Beswick MI. I wanted to see the entry for myself so I purchased the booklet. Since then I have purchased 7 more booklets. I also did a lookup for a lady in England. Last week she purchased 12 booklets. Sometimes free samples are the best form of advertising.

    3. Hi Jim, Most of the family history societies who produce useful material for researchers are UK registered charities and therefore cannot make a profit. However they also cannot operate on fresh air. Tomorrow I will be making a round trip journey of 90 miles as will about 8 other people from various parts of East Yorkshire to record MIs that will eventually be published by the EYFHS. This will be the fourth visit to this churchyard that we have made. All of us pay our own expenses. The information is then checked against the PRs and return visits to the churchyard by other volunteers. It is then keyed in by a lady who has been doing this for the past 25 years, voluntarily. The information will then be checked again before being passed to the publications lady who will do all the other things necessary to get it ready for the printer, she also has been doing this voluntarily for 25 years. When the booklets are finally to hand we deposit free copies in local libraries and archive offices for people to view as they will. More volunteers at their own expense then at various times take the approximately 200 other MI booklets that have been produced in the same way over the past 25 years to various locations across Yorkshire such as the recent York Family History Fair and make them available at minimal cost to anyone who wishes to buy one. They do this to recover the cost of printing and to provide the money to be able to produce other things such as the indexing of the 1861 census that is currently well under way. Imagine then that somebody buys one of these booklets and then starts advertising that (they) will give the information away regardless of breach of copyright and the fact that it will undermine further sales of the booklet and the future projects that these charitable family history societies are willing to do. Pound for pound these booklets must represent the best value anywhere. The EYFHS even operates a system where all the MIs from the 200 burial areas published are indexed on a database which can be searched to see where a particular name occurs. After all that we do and the personal costs that we incur along the way we are not willing to pay the printing costs out of our own pockets just to save someone somewhere spending a couple of pounds or dollars. Check the EYFHS website www.eyfhs.org.uk for a full list of the MI booklets that are available for sale online all of which have been produced in the way outlined above. I think its called playing fair.
