Hello list i am having problems with finding a name, does anyone know if Molly was short for something else? And similarly the name Sally (like betty, lizzy or eliza are short for elizabeth)....i just cant seem to find this person who should be living in the leyburn area with parents william and margaret hardy. I am having trouble doing the look up probably because i am entering "sally" when it is short for something else, or a middle name. These are the only names and dates i have: William Hardy - father Margaret Hardy (previously stott?) - mother leslie hardy - sept 1891 - my great grandfather ralph hardy jack hardy sally hardy molly hardy william hardy annie hardy If anyone is researching this area and happens to have any information or look ups i would be very grateful! Many thanks Laura

I do a considerable amount of work with the US census. A transcription is always done exactly as written. When entering data in a family file, I will use the "shortened" or "pet" name if it's listed. If I come upon a second source with a longer or variant name, I will then use that as a primary with the pet name in quotes following. Brian Cartwright

Hi Margaret, Many thanks for your kind words. Surely living in Kent you went t hop picking?. Dinner was at noon, ran home from school, had dinner, rang back to school, no buses or cars in those days, still got an excellent pair of legs at 59 and five months old. Jam sandwiches were for tea time, after school, or home made pickled beetroot sandwiches, no meat only for father. but the bestest (ha Ha) sandwich of all was my Pan Yan ones, used to take them during my train-spotting trips, down to London, aged 10, just with one similar aged friend to go to the various other stations and see those different trains on different regions. Dad had bottled tea up at the allotment, scalding tea poured into an old pop bottle, wrapped around with an old towel incase it broke with the heat, (many times) then walk the mile to dad, with tea and sandwiches. Of course once there I had to do the weeding for hours on end, home to bed, bath was in a large tub situated in front of a roaring coal fire, as the eldest child, I was first in, followed by my two 'orrible sisters. don't forget going to nursery school, sleeping there in the afternoon and a camp bed and drinking a quarter pint of milk and the occasional orange juice, diluted, wonderful stuff. As for rain, here in Nottingham we lived and still do live at Sneinton. When the thunderstorms came, the water from the roads leading onto Oakdale road and then downwards on Sneinton dale, by the time it passed my house near the old Catholic school the whole road would be a raging torrent of white water, lasting hours. Aye duck, thee can write a book about it. regards John ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2006 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [SHEFF] More memories Dear John OH how wonderful.

----- Original Message ----- From: john.hume To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2006 10:32 AM Subject: YORKSHIRE ? 1950's. Hi All Whilst not in Yorkshire, I used to visit with my parents my favourite uncle who lived in Sheffield. In those days we knew when we were approaching that city by the huge fires that roared alongside the railway line, especially at night on our return home. In the late 50's my uncle was unwell, my dad a keen chrysanthemum grower grew a special one to be delivered from Nottingham to Sheffield general hospital where my uncle was residing. We had to take the plant, complete with its SEVENTY TWO blooms of perfectly formed yellow flowers, all out in unison. The distance from the allotment to Nottingham Victoria was about three miles. My dad had made a 'litter' from an old wooden banana box (those very long ones) and complete with two long carrying handles, my friend and I walked the three miles to the railway station where the plant was weighed and the cost was dearer than our tickets. Those coaches were non corridor and the plant was placed in the guards van. At every stop, and there were plenty, I had to dash out of the carriage, into the guards van and back again before the train moved off. After many miles (I'm sure we had been up and down the country twice,) we arrived at noon in Sheffield on a busy Saturday morning. Walking through the throngs of shoppers was a nightmare walking with the plant to my uncle's lock up garage on Eyre street. The end result was two broken blooms and for that, a clip around the ! ear. However the plant adorned the front of the hospital for many years afterwards. As for products, remember the following big tins of biscuits at woollies where you could ask for a selection. My mum wrote down Nice biscuits, of course I was in my element, I got all those NICE biscuits, custard creams etc, of course she actually meant NICE(south of France) biscuits. The Boy's Own magazine, London Illustrated, Pathe News with the cockle crowing at the beginning. The rush out of the flicks before the national anthem came on with the Queen on her horse inspecting the troops. The 3d rush on a Saturday afternoon to see Flash Gordon, Superman, and the Cisco Kid. And of course Zorro where we all came tumbling out of the cinema pretending to be the famous man himself with the legendary three stokes of his sword. Snobs and marbles, played in the gutters on the way home from school, and miniature racing cars. Playing cigarette packets against the wall, and 'chock' with marbles. Life Boys and Boys Brigade with little Pill Box hats and trying to play the bugle. 1d everlasting strips, tiger nuts and little black Imps, brought in a very small black and red box. Beechnut chewing gum, a free packet on every forth turn from the machine outside the shops, next to the fag machine dispensing domino cigarettes at 6d a packet. And of course as a ten years old going to the pub with an enamel jug for two pints of bitter for dad at home, or the local off licence for bottles of Indian Pale Ale. E by gum, kids don't know they'll born today, 'ecky thump. regards -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Hi everyone. I'm not entirely sure if York is in North Yorkshire and therefore covered by this list. If it's out of area, I apologise, just let me know. I'm looking into my Lonsdale branch of the family, in particular Alfred Lonsdale, born about 1856. I would like to get his birth certificate but cannot find him on any of the BMD sites. I have him on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census. He is easy to spot as he is a tailor. In these years he is living in Melmerby then Hebdenbridge. In 1902 he lived in Middlesbrough. On the 1881, his birth place is quite clearly Layerthorpe, York but I can't locate this town at all. Does anyone know where this is? On other census years, it says born in York. So I have a possible 1861 hit, living in Walmgate, York, father William, mother Elizabeth. However there seems to be no trace of him in 1871. Can anyone help me find him? I would be very grateful for any help Sue Tomkins (Hampshire) PS I'd love to hear from anyone who has a connection with this family

Hi, Don`t know if anybody interested in the Jacksons of Farndale know that there is a Jackson`s Rd.(path). It goes from the disused coal mines next to the road going up Rosedale Head to the Church Houses in Farndale. In the 1841 census a family of coal mining Jackson`s still lived in the Church Houses. It shows that many Jackson`s most have walked that way to work. If you want to check it Ordnance Survey (OS) no OL26 both sides. The Explorer Map 4cm to 1km (two & half inches to a mile) it also shows a track from Church Houses to Cockayne. Mary Lamport --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Experts will be on hand to answer your family history questions and BBC Radio York will be recording family history stories. Please come along and see what it's about. Nobody will be under any pressure to talk to the BBC, but if you do have an interesting story and would like to share it with the world, here is your opportunity. I don't think there will be any live broadcasting here, but they do hope to record a few stories. Please contact Vicky, the archivist at Northallerton, on [email protected] if you would like to be part of this event, or if you would just like to come and see what is going on - please don't just turn up, as this has to be done on a bookings basis, as they will need to know how many people to expect.
