Dear LIst Members. My name is Margaret, and I live in New Hampshire in the States. I took a couple of years off from my research but am trying to get back into it. I used to belong to this list way back, and it seemed a lot busier then. Anyway, this is my problem: my ancestor, Thomas WINDOW was (according to his military discharge record) born in Tickhill, Yorkshire in 1784. I have not been able to find any record of his birth, but the IGI shows births of Richard WiINDOW in 1807, and William WINDOW in 1810.in Tickhill. The father of these two was John WINDOW, and there was a John WINDOW born in 1777 in Todwick, Yorkshire. I am speculating that Richard and William are the sons of thisJohn, and this John could be a sibling to my Thomas. whose first two sons were Richard and John. Can anybody tell me where Todwick is in relation to Tickhill? Thanks for any help Regards Margaret.. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello Margaret & List, welcome back after your sabbatical Margaret... just lately I received more information re the Webster connection which we both have in common. It relates to the fact that one of Eleanor's daughters was living in London with a probable sister of Eleanors. She was running a Boarding house. She was single as her last name was Webster. I'll send you the details tommorrow. She was born in Glasgow??? and as you may remember Eleanor was born in Berwick on Tweed. I did find a marriage of a Joseph Webster to an Isabella Rule in Berwick on Tweed which may be a lead... Re where is Todwick? It is a Parish Town , in the upper division of Strafforth and Tickhill; 7 miles SE,of Rotherham, 7 and 3/4 from Worksop Notts 10 1/4 miles from Sheffield. Population 210. Church is a Rectory dedicated to St Peter and St. Paul. This information was taken from Genuki West Riding Parishes. Where is it in Yorkshire... The Link is on the Sheffield Genuki. Let me know if I can be of any more assistance, Kindest regards, Josephine, Ontario. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Downes" <maranjon59@yahoo.com> To: <ENG-SHEFFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 7:09 PM Subject: [SHEFF] Where is Todwick? > Dear LIst Members. > My name is Margaret, and I live in New Hampshire in the States.
