Many thanks Ailsa Petrie Hamilton New Zealand -- Hamilton New Zealand

I have been trying to trace Grace BATEMAN. She was born about 1753 She married John MORRELL by licence at Aberford on 23 Mar 1777 They had four children baptized at Thirsk, when she was described as "of Aberford" She was buried at Whitby Aug 1815 I have failed to trace her parents or her birth place. Any help or suggestions will be very welcome Frank Harris

We celebrate the Fall Equinox, saying goodbye to the long Summer days and greeting the approaching shorter days of Fall, with a bumper crop of 44 new names submitted to the database. Perhaps a kindly Druid might guide the Powers-that-Be to continued success with our research! Only one submitter removed this week because of a bouncing email address: Whiteley (2) erw@lineone.net Now, the list of new names. Surprisingly, despite the large number of submissions, not one name has been submitted by more than one person: ASQUITH, AUCKLAND, AVEYARD BARRACLOUGH, BARSTOW, BETTS, BOOTH, BOYLE BROADHEAD, BURNETT CLOUGH ELLIS, ELSTUB GAVAN, GIBSON, GREENWOOD HALLAS, HARROP, HARTLEY, HILL, HUDSON IBBOTSON JACKSON, JENNINGS MARSHALL, MUTTITT NEWSOME OCONNOR PEARSON, PENITENT, PENNINGTON RAMSDALE, RAMSDEN, REED, RHODES, ROUTLEDGE RYNDER SHAW, SQUIRES, STANBOROUGH/STANBRO, STANNARD, STAPLETON THRESH WOMACK Happy researching, Magdalena -- Magdalena Gorrell Guimaraens List Administrator INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING NAMES and Home Page: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/ PLEASE ADDRESS ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO: ykssurnames@yahoo.com

The Family History Department in Salt Lake City has developed a new research support tool <www.FamilySearchWiki.org>. This resource has been developed to help make family history research advice easier to find and share. There are two ways to search the site; Keyword search or Browse by country. FamilySearchWiki is intended as an online community for family history researchers and those interested in learning how to be more successful in the search for their ancestors. This site includes all research outlines published by the Family History Library and many other articles never published such as the wiki material for Japan, China and India.

Michael BELL wed Ann SUMMERSGILL on 18 Oct 1834 at Burnsall and I am trying to find out if he is, as I speculate, one of my BELLs. I've tried everything I can think of to discover more but without success. If anybody knows ought about them please let me know. Thanks Norman.

Thanks Nivard for the information. It is much appreciated. I will see about purchasing a copy. Thanks again.

Hi Peter, I apologize for being so slow in replying but having a darn job sometimes gets in the way. LOL Thank you so much for your generous offer to go and have a look around St. Aidan's.

I live in Skelton Green, the next village to the north of Boosbeck. I have no family connections with St.Aidans so have never visited it.

Hello Listers, I am relatively new to the list and was wondering if anyone had access to MI's for St. Aidan's, Boosbeck? I am looking for my great grandparents who are supposedly buried there. There names are John Henry and Sarah "Jane" GOODRICK. I don't have any more information as to burial date. I believe the burial date would be in the early 1900's. I would also be interested to know if there are any other GOODRICK's buried there. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sheryl Wilson British Columbia, Canada

Hi J Hennessey: My great-grandfather William SAWDON was buried in Larpool Lane Cemetery, in 1923, which seems to be the most likely place for Whitby burials. You can contact the Scarborough Bereavement Services for any details. Martyn Naylor Superintendent & Registrar Bereavement Services Scarborough Crematorium Dept: Environmental Health Services Scarborough Borough Council Tel: 01723 372652/354393 Fax: 01723 377374 email: bereavement.services@scarborough.gov.uk www.scarborough.gov.uk If you give the name, date of death and place of death, they will probably be able to look up the burial. The Whitby Gazette may have an in memoriam notice. You can find them at: editorial@whitbygazette.co.uk You may also find it helpful to look at the Whitby Yahoo Groups web site (and join, if you want more information from a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful group) at: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/thewhitbygroup/ HTH Martin Willcocks Taylorsville, UT, USA.

Hello Listers - Parish Magazine key data for this village (now Newton-under-Roseberry) from 12 magazines between 1897 and 1905 is freely accessible at www.originaldatabases.co.uk - GHD Database - search by surname only. You might learn a little more about an ancestor here! SB/ODUK Project.

Hi Terry.....in the "nearby places" section of the Northallerton Genuki page, there is a place called Maunby 4.7 miles SSW of Kirby Wiske which is 6 miles from Northallerton. Could that be the place you are looking for? If you click on Maunby, it will bring up a map of the area. _http://www.genuki.org.uk/cgi-bin/places?NRY,SE370940,5,Northallerton_ (http://www.genuki.org.uk/cgi-bin/places?NRY,SE370940,5,Northallerton) mary lou ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hi Terry, > On 12 September 2007 16:44 Terry King wrote... > ... it looks like Moarsby Ferry to me, but there no such place in my Gazetteer. I've had a look at the 1851 census image and I agree that the name does look like Moarsby Ferry or Moaraby Ferry. I'm wondering if this is an instance of the enumerator struggling to read the handwriting on the original household return. Could it originally have been Thornaby Ferry? Thornaby is on the Tees and in Yorkshire and in those days there almost certainly would have been at least one ferry there. Just a thought for you throw into the melting pot with all the others! kindest regards, Peter Appleton

Hi, Thanks to all who helped with my STAINSBY query, it was very helpful. I subsequently found the family in the 1851 census with John, b: ca 1792, but cannot read the place of birth. It is transcribed as: John Stainsby Age: 59 Estimated birth year: abt 1792 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Eleanor Gender: Male Where born: Mounby Gerry, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Darlington Ecclesiastical parish: St John Although it looks like Moarsby Ferry to me, but there no such place in my Gazetteer. The names are slightly different, Ellen Snr is Eleanor, Hellen is also Eleanor, Jane would not have been born on the 1841, Johnson is Jonathan. There ages are very close and I am sure this is the same family. Thanks, Terry.

You are very welcome.

Hi Terry, One way in which you could find John's parents is to get the birth certificate for his brother Johnson c.1838. I think that this was the only child born after 1837 when certificates were issued.
