Wondering if anyone has the 1851/61 census for York, I am looking for a Christopher Crump and his daughter Elizabeth, she was born about 1843 and according to the 81/91/01 census she was born in York, she married in St George's Church York in 1868. Many thanks in advance Lynn Keane

Hello Ruth, Thank-you for the reply. Some-one else said the same thing. Then again, another lady said people felt that if they received a congratulatory card, they would then be obligated to write a thank-you letter to each one. My thought was, that maybe it was a religious reason, where people may have felt it was too frivolous to receive fancy cards, as per. Quakers. Its a puzzle !! Regards, Pam.

Thankyou Roz, that answer certainly is possible. Some-one else said some people did not want cards of congratulation, as if they did they would have to write a letter of thanks for every one. Have a feeling most people are like us, and just making a guess, but no-one seems to know for sure. My original thought was that some people felt that fancy cards were frivolous and refused on religious grounds, as in Quakers. Its a puzzle !! Regards, Pam in Arizona.

Hi, My twopennorth for what it's worth. I am inclined to agree with you Roz about the wedding cards. I remember after our wedding we sent cake and cards to all who had been invited/sent gifts but could not attend. The boxes were about 3" x 2" nicely lined with doyly (now there's a word!) type paper that folded over the cake and the card which gave details of the date, our new address and my maiden name was placed on top. All very proper! Does the custom still exist? Regards, Ruth

Hi Pam, 1864 is a bit early for greeting cards, I should have thought. Is it possible that the cards were the opposite: small cards announcing the details of the wedding to friends and relatives and sent with a tiny sample of wedding cake, i.e. the wedding cards would have been rendered unnecessary by the announcement in the Malton Messenger. We have a number of tiny wedding cards sent to my mother-in-law, mainly in the 1930s and 1940s (some later), giving the details of bride's parents and address, bride and groom, and date of the wedding. They are a standard format (quite elaborate, decoratively embossed rectangular cards, about 2" x 1", in a small purpose-made envelope). Might the "no cards" announcement have been a notice of intention not to send these? However, I am open to correction! Best wishes, Roz

Hi Listers, I am new to the list and would appreciate it if someone could confirm that Whitby is located in North Yorkshire. If anyone has any MURGATROYD or DONAWAY interests in Whitby prior to 1827, I would be interested in hearing from you. Maybe we will discover a connection between our lines. My 3rd great grandfather, Jeremiah MURGATROYD married Mary Ann DONAWAY in Whitby in 1807. I "believe" that Jeremiah was the son of William MURGATROYD.

Hi All, Please find below the list of additions etc. to the Genuki Yorkshire web-site for the past 3 weeks. These are again mainly photographs of churches, but with transcriptions for Aldby Park, and street name indexes for Leeds, Halifax, Huddersfield and Bradford. Those of you who have explored the 9,000+ pages on the Genuki Yorkshrie site will be aware that there are a lot of transcriptions of names from War Memorials, lists of vicars etc., on the site. Most of these have been done by Patricia Hayward, but I have a lot more photographs of Yorkshire WMs etc. yet to be transcribed that Pat doesn't have. If you have some spare time and are interested in doing some of these, please drop me a line.

John Stephenson married Mary (Tomlinson) Hardy in Whitby, North Yorkshire on December 25, 1798. It is currently unknown how old John or Mary were at the time of their marriage or where either were born. However, it is known that Mary was a widower who was previously married to William Hardy and had one young child, Mary Hardy, whom she brought to the union. Since Mary's daughter added the Stephenson surname to hers, it is currently thought that her mother Mary was 18-20 years old and that John was approaching his mid twenties. However, it is unknown whether John formally adopted Mary(Hardy)Stephenson. I need some help here. John Stephenson and Mary Hardy had four children, all of whom were born in Whitby, England. These have been identified as follow. Ruben Stephenson was born in Whitby on June 20, 1799. Ruben subsequently married Jane Hull in Whitby on March 01, 1819. The couple had five children who are recorded as Christopher Stephenson (05-26-1820), Elizabeth Hull Stephenson (09-26-1823), Isabella Stephenson (11-23-1825) and her twin brother John Stephenson (11-23-1825) and Jane Stephenson (11-30-1828). All of Ruben's children were born in Whitby. It appears that Ruben died prior to the 1841 census as Jane , Elizabeth and Isabelle are living with her 76 year old father Christopher Hull on Tate Hill. In 1851 Jane is recorded as a widow living with her widowed daughter Elizabeth Reynolds at 19 Church Street. Jane is on parish relief and her daughter Elizabeth is taking in laundry to help support her 3 children: Martha Reynolds 10, Elizabeth Reynolds 6, and John Reynolds 3. Any additional information would be appreciated. Daniel Stephenson was born in Whitby on September 18, 1801. Daniel married Mary Humphry in Whitby on January 31, 1826. The couple had three children all of whom were born in Whitby: John Stephenson (09-26-1828) and Thomas Stephenson (04-24-1833) and Mary Stephenson (12-09-1830). In 1841, the family was living on Church Street. Daniel was employed as a rope maker which is the same occupation as Ruben's father-in-law Christopher Hull. However, by the 1851 census, the family appears to have relocated and his sister-in law Jane Hull Stephenson is living in the house at 19 Church Street. Daniel and his family were not found in the 1851 census for Whitby and their whereabouts is still a mystery. I need some help here. Henry Stephenson (my gg_gf) was born in Whitby on August 27, 1804. Henry married Mary Ann Sanderson in Sculcoates, North Yorkshire on May 05, 1828. The couple had three sons in England prior to emigrating to Canada around 1835. These are recorded as Henry Stephenson (08-28-1828), John Stephenson (1832 ?), and Robert Stephenson (1833 ?). However, no records of birth or christenings for the English born lads have been located. Likewise it is unknown where Henry and Mary Ann settled after their marriage and prior to their departure to the US via Canada. Three additional sons were born to the couple after emigrating to the United States in 1837. These included Septimus Stephenson (11-16-1839), Lansing Stephenson (09-14-1843) and Sartial Stephenson (05-05-1846). All births of sons born in the US occurred in East Bloomfield, Ontario Co, New York. In 1856, the family relocated to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and settled on land which became Stephenson Farm. Stephenson Farm is currently farmed by Mark Stephenson a descendant of Lansing Stephenson. I need help in further defining the family's whereabouts after their marriage, places of birth of the English lads and date of departure for Canada. Sarah Ann Stephenson was born on August 08,1808. Sarah married David Widdop in Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kingston Upon Hull on November 12, 1824. The couple had four children, Sarah Widdop, Mary Ann Widdop, John Widdop, and David Widdop. No dates for the birth of these children have been found but Christening dates of 10-25-1826 for Mary and 02-18-1836 are recorded for the remaining 3 children. Sarah Widdop married a Butterworth and Mary Ann married a Liester. Nothing else is known of the family at this time. Any connections and assistance in filling in the gaps with the English history would be appreciated. Larry Stephenson lwstep@cox.net
