Can anyone recommend family tree software for iPad please?

Hi Jill I'm wondering if yours and my Smiths are the same family? I have a Wm Smith b. 28 Jan 1824...his father was Isaac who married Sarah Robinson 1817 at Deeping St. James. Cheers Linda B.C. Canada I have been told that the gravestone of my ancestors William and Ann Smith is at the front of Cowbit church just over the wall at the front of the church. They died 1853 & 1851 Would someone be so kind and photograph this and email it to me.

Good morning from sunny Perth, I have wanted to find this marriage for many years, on Parish Film or now on the Lincstothepast site. I'm not sure how but I do have 4th Aug 1852 as the marriage date. where I saw that, or who gave it to me I'm not sure. I have tried the Marriage Locator site for many Lincolnshire marriages where I haven't seen the entry on film or received it from the GRO but for many I get a message like below. GRO Index: 1852 quarter 3, volume 7a, page 1029: Sorry, we cannot locate the church for this marriage. The entry is located between entries for Hilbaldstow (RD: Glanford Brigg) and Gainsborough All Saints (RD: Gainsborough). I can never work out how a entry is between to different Registration districts. Can anyone tell me where this marriage took place and will I find it on the Lincstothepast site. Thanks Chris

Don't worry, Chris. I always find it very difficult to explain. It's only because I've done it myself a few times that I can remember!

And if you look on North Lincolnshire council online BMD index you will see that they did indeed marry each other in 1852 http://www.northlincs.gov.uk/AF/an/default.aspx/RenderForm/?F.Name=Qp4DtkaVADP The reference is RO could mean either Registry Office or non conformist i.e. Chapel, using information I have from known places of marriage.

OK, here is how Marriage Locator works Below are the marriages from Gainsborough All Saints, and Gainsborogh Holy Trinity, two consecutive parishes, alphabetically, from the Gainsborough Registration District. These marriages are from the 2nd quarter, April to June, 1885. There is only one marriage for Holy Trinity in this Quarter. Gainsborough All Saints 1885 05-Apr Wray John William 1529 1885 07-May Fotheringham John 1529 1885 11-May Evans Robert 1531 1885 14-May Pearson Audas 1531 1885 18-May Hall Edward Thomas 1530 1885 25-May Tinker John Charles 1530 1885 01-Jun Waterlow Arthur 1532 1885 07-Jun Turner Sam William 1532 Gainsborough Holy Trinity 1885 10-Jun Ward Joseph Harrison 1533 If marriage locator had the Gainsborough information, which it hasn't, and you put in 7a 1529, Gainsborough All Saints would be the result. If you go to FreeBMD and do a search for marriages, choose Gainsborough in the district list, and Jun 1885 to Jun 1885 in the date range boxes you will get all the marriages that took place in the June quarter of 1885 in the Gainsborough registration district. The page number is shown after each marriage above. You can see that Gainsborough All Saints has page numbers 1529 to 1532 and the Gainsborough Holy Trinity marriage has page number 1533. Each parish will begin with an odd number and as there is only one marriage for Gainsborough HT in this quarter page number 1534 will not be used at all. I have not included the names of the brides above. They will of course appear on the same page as their grooms, making four names for each page. There will of course be only two names on page 1533 as Holy Trinity only has one marriage in this quarter. It is possible to extract the entries on FreeBMD into a spreadsheet and sort on the page numbers. This is useful if you know which numbers belong to some of the churches and want to find out which numbers the churches that have not been transcribed will have. Parishes are numbered alphabetically, and Blyton has one marriage in the June quarter of 1885, Herbert Dibble, whose page number is 1523. If there are any marriages in Blyborough parish, which is the first parish but not transcribed, alphabetically, in this RD, it will be on page number 1522. In order to get the data for Marriage locator, the above procedure has to be followed for each parish, and for each quarter, a long job. The first and last marriage in each quarter is noted; these are called "cardinal points" and show which page number(s) is/are appropriate to that parish in that quarter. The last alphabetical parish in the Gainsborough RD (not yet transcribed) is Willoughton. If the page numbers for Willoughton for the June 1885 quarter were known, it would then become clear which numbers apply to the registrar attended and register office marriages, that is, the marriage that took place in non-conformist churches and the Gainsborough Register Office. These always come at the end of the number sequence. I hope that is clear. The little chart I have done at the top will probably be all over the place when this gets onto the list as I can only use plain text - apologies for that.

Chrissie, Firstly, there are no marriages after June 1837 (when civil registration began) on the Lincs to the Past website. Marriage Locator is obviously not complete for the Lincolnshire marriages, although information is being taken for that website from the Lincolnshire Post 1837 Marriage Index where your marriage has been found by Patricia. This should be the fist port of call for all people looking for marriages after 1837 in Lincolnshire http://mi.lincolnshiremarriages.org.uk/ Please be aware that the above website only contains marriages from parishes that have deposited their post 1837 marriage registers at Lincolnshire Archives as that is where we are doing the indexing.

The answer from Phil, and the one from Patricia, emphasise just how important it is to provide full and precise details when posting a query. Phil and Patricia assume Chris means the marriage of Mary WOODLIFF (no 'e')and William Blackburn GRASSBY which was in Louth registraion district but with a volume/page number reference of 7a 913. I assumed that Chris meant the marriage of Elisha GRASBY (one 's') and Rebecca Woodliffe. The GRO Index gives no proof that these two people married each other - they are merely on the same page in the GRO Index in September quarter 1852, Glanford Brigg registration district, with a volume/page number reference of 7a 1029. However in the 1861 census there's a Robert Mumby born 1832 with wife Ann and two children, the eldest aged 7, living in Barnetby le Wold, so they are probably the other couple from the Glanford Brigg page. Robert says he was born Barnetby and Ann says born Elsham, so they *might* have been married in either of those villages. (Added just prior to submitting message: Finally found Elisha and Rebecca Grassby in the 1871 census. Living in Elsham - where Elisha says he was born.) The wonderful Lincolnshire 1837+ Marriage Indexes http://mi.lincolnshiremarriages.org.uk/ currently only list marriages for those two villages for 1837-1850. (See Glanford Brigg introduction.) Patience may bring its own reward when further years are added. Otherwise Chris will have to assume that the marriage took place in either the district Register Office or in a non-conformist church/chapel. In which case the only way to find out where the couple married is to order the marriage certificate from the GRO. One very important thing to note is that post 1837 marriages are not at present on the Lincs to the Past website, and I understand that (certainly at the moment) they are unlikely to be.

Hi Chris   This couple were found on the Lincolnshire Marriage Index (Louth) and were married in Welton le Wold.  We are so lucky to have this site and of course it is well worth placing in your Favourites!  It does show the marriage took place on 26th August 1852.   Regards, Pat               ________________________________ From: Phil at Angelic Aromas <phil.gresham@hotmail.co.uk> To: Chrissie <acdods@iinet.net.au>; Lincs Genealogy <eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 27 November 2011, 9:07 Subject: Re: [LIN] Marriage Locator Woodliffe/Grassby they were married in Louth RD, have you tried the Lincolnshire marriage index?

Hi Elaine, Peter & LIsters !

Hello, Phil: I don't think I have any clues for you, but maybe you have one or two for me if you have Johnson or Younger connections to Sussex. 1. My Grandmother was Charlotte JOHNSON, b.1876 to Edmund and Ellen in the Fittleworth area, near Pulborough. She and my Grandfather WILLIAMS moved from Sussex to Sturton-by-Stow, near Lincoln, where they lived for about two years before emigrating to Canada just after the turn of the century, so there is a connection with Lincolnshire. I have had difficulty finding Johnson parents or ancestors and have taken to these "shots-in-the-dark", contacting people on this list who have the same names and/or possible geographic connections. 2. The second reason for this e-mail is the YOUNGER name. Family anecdotes, completely unverified, suggest that the parents of my Grandfather, Henry WILLIAMS, b. ca. 1867, location unknown, were Stephen Williams and his wife, a Younger, but I have had no success finding them. Either they are hiding in plain sight or I am looking in all the wrong places! If there are connections, however tenuous, I would appreciate hearing from you. Cheers, Gordon Calgary, Alberta In politics stupidity is not a handicap. -- Napoleon Bonaparte On 24/11/2011 6:41 PM, Phil Johnson wrote: > I have several YOUNGER's born/baptised at Burgh-Spilsby, Burgh, Burgh In The Marsh or Burgh Le Marsh.

Hi Peter Just had time for a quick look, but found Elizabeth not Cornelius   1861 RG9/3527 (surname spelt Shephard) listed in Parish cottages in Reedness as Head (wife crossed through) and Married with 3 children. Hannah born 1852 in Whitgift Yorkshire, John Young Sheppard born 1855 in Sunderland Durham, and Godfrey aged 3 born 1858 in Reedness.  Elizabeth is listed as a field labourer   Elizabeth is listed in 1881 in Reedness RG11/4700 listed as a widow. John Young Sheppard is also in Reedness with wifes Sarah Ann and a daughter RG11/4703   in 1891 Elizabeth once again listed as a widower is living with her son john in Hook Yorkshire he is also a widower and working as a nightsoil labourer (this was a horrible job it was a man with a cart and a shovel who went round the city and shovelled up the "left overs" in the street and then sold them as compost makings to farmers to make a living.) RG12/3873   I will see if I can find anything further on Hannah or Godfrey but it would seem to me that Cornelius has left the family home probably deserted them, or perhaps gone overseas to make a new life and to send for them later, wasn't this the time of the gold rush?   hope this is a help to be going on with   Elaine Westaway Hampshire UK   ________________________________ From: Peter Evans <pev92491@bigpond.net.au> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 25 November 2011, 8:17 Subject: [LIN] CORNELIUS SHEPPARD Hello, CORNELIUS SHEPPARD born Reedness 1825, married Elizabeth Young 1850 Goole, she died 1904 at Keadby. 1851 Census  Reedness , Cornelius 25 a Ferryman.
