Hi Brian, A "Monthly Nurse" would look after a woman for up to a month after childbirth. She was often also the midwife or "Confinement Nurse" hence the "C".

Hi Folks, Please find below the Genuki Yorkshire updates and additions for the past few weeks. These are mainly Church photographs, as I have been given very few transcriptions over this period.

Hi all I have been chasing down some more of the PERCIVALs in my tree. They are based around Carperby/Aysgarth/Askrigg for much of the 19C and I have got one Eliza Percival, a widow aged 59, whose occupation according to the 1881 census is "Monthly Nurse and C". Has anyone got any suggestions as to what this means (I am guessing that the "and C"might be "and Carer") Brian Scowcroft --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi, I have a death certificate for a James CALVERT. It says an inquest was held and the coroners name etc. Would someone be able to tell me how I can find out more about the inquest. Also newpapers around 1901 for Egton. Thanks Margaret rita292@wn.com.au

The marriage certificate would give the bride's father's name and his occupation - from this you should know her maiden name (unless she was illegitimate). It won't give the date or details of her previous marriage. If the certificate gives her age (sometimes it just says "full age"), then this may enable you to find her via Familysearch or Free BMD.

Hello all, Among the Northallerton cemetery inscriptions which are online, I noticed the following names, all on the same headstone: John Gibson SIMPSON died 2 November 1918 aged 8 years Mary Ann SIMPSON died 2 January 1943 aged 65 years John SIMPSON died 1 May 1944 aged 69 years. Fred & Sarah GIBSON of West Hartlepool. Would anyone have further information on these names, please? I would like to confirm whether there is a connection with one of the families I am interested in. Ailsa Petrie -- Hamilton New Zealand

Hello Ruth, Thank you for your reply. It's the second I have had and you both say the same thing! Looks as though I need to think again. What I need is the date and place of her first marriage and the GRO Index has not turned up anything definite to date.

Does anyone have a copy of Vol 8 of the above, which contains the Yorkshire East Riding Regt of Foot, as well as the Bedfordshire, and Leicestershire, and Royal Irish Foot regts. If so could you do one look up for me please in the Royal Irish [18th ]regiment? Dorothy in Dunedin NZ

Ailsa The information will include her former married name and her maiden name but not the date of her former marriage or its end date. It will include her father's name and occupation (as and if known to the bride), and if he was deceased, will usually say so. It will have no details of her mother - other than her name/signature in the slightly unusual event she was a witness (and even then it will not identify the relationship of the witnesses to the couple).

G'day from Melbourne. Researching Gdad Joseph WALKER b MIDDLESBROUGH 1873 his no.3-8525 pte Walker YORK R. Being a good yorkshire lass can any point me to finding him without it costing an arm and a leg? He has 3 medals from WW1 and I believe he was in the Army before WW1. Any help would be wonderful Regards sunny Melbourne (we had some well needed rain last night) Wendy

Hi Ailsa, I have the marriage certificate of my g.grandmother. (Had great difficulty locating her because of it being a second marriage). The certificate gives the name of her father and occupation but no details of the first marriage. Hope this helps Regards, Ruth

G'day Wendy Have you looked at http://www.middlesbrough-indexes.co.uk/search.htm He doesn't seem to be listed in 1873. I hope that Mandurah, nr Perth has some rain. We spent three months there and returned home a couple of weeks ago. Lancelot Howard Barron Middlesbrough U.K. LBarron Associates U.K. Web Page http://www.barron40.fsnet.co.uk/New_Web/Page_1x.html

All Is there a kind someone who could help with a look up pls? Jane WARING b1828 (give or take - based on age recorded in census) at Sedbury, Gilling West, North Yorkshire. I'd like to check her date of birth and any information about her parents which may be recorded. (Her place of birth is given as Sodbury, Yorks, in the 1901 census, but since there doesn't appear to be such a place Sedbury seems likely, especially as she married a Thomas COULSON from Hartlepool) Thanks for any help. Kind regards STC

Is anyone who has easy access to the 1861 Census willing to check an address in Middlesbrough? Many thanks. Jo.

I was told many years ago that there were many BALMER graves in Yarm churchyard. Is it worth a trip to try to find them, or has the graveyard been cleared? There are many other churchyards which may have Balmers, including Great Ayton, Stainton in Cleveland, Lythe and Loftus. Local knowledge on which have been 'improved' would be welcome. - or can one buy the book, save the petrol and miss a great day out?
