Hi Margaret, Welcome back to Genealogy. To answer your question as to "Where is Todwick": rather than "hand you the fish on a plate", here's how you go fishing (at least for any place in Yorkshire: Go to the Genuki Yorkshire main page (URL in my signature), and take any of the links to "Where is it in Yorkshire". When you arrive on that page, there's a bit of explanation for you to read, and then there's a list of initial letters of places. Take the relevant letter's link (T for instance <g>), and it will take you to the list of all (or at least most) of the places in Yorkshire beginning with that letter. Those places in blue (or whatever you have your link colour set to) are the Ancient parishes. Find your place, click on the link and it will take you to the relevant Ancient parish page where you will find a description of the place and its location. You will also find on the main Genuki Yorkshire page a heading of "Maps" (among lots of other headings that may be of interest). Under the maps heading you will find a link to a detailed map of Yorkshire which you can download. This shows most of the places listed within the "Where is it in Yorkshire" pages. Make sure that you read the bit on the top right, as it explains what all the colour coding of the marker dots means.

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..
