Hi Listers, Would SKS be able to look up the 1901 census in Bradford Yorks for the addresses of a Rebecca Midgley born 1867/8 with son John Midgley and her family, also for Arthur Shackleton b1877 with wife Sarah E Shackleton and family. Regards Harry (Canada)

An intriguing tale is signalled by these little extracts. Who's Jane's father? How did Grace end up in the poorhouse? How did Ralph meet her? Seems they never wed - right? Any information from any Sherlock would be most welcome.

Scottish girl goes to Bradford, no doubt to find work as a weaver and hoping to better herself (or possibly her parents moved there and took her and they either died or she went off on her own), meets a man, has a child out of wedlock, can't keep herself and the child and ends up in the workhouse for a bit. She may have "floated" in and out of the workhouse with the child, according to whether she was in work or not - a very common pattern. Then she meets a man who offers her either marriage or a living-with relationship and has two more children by him. Even if you haven't found a marriage, there's no reason why she wouldn't have taken his name, or at least told the enumerator she was his wife. It happened all the time! How did they meet - who knows? Perhaps they met in the street, perhaps Ralph made deliveries to the workhouse, perhaps they met in a pub when Grace had a bit of money, perhaps they were introduced by a mutual friend, perhaps they were neighbours at some stage.

Dear All Thank you for your many replies,I will be giving them a go in the next few weeks. Thank You Alec

Hi Alec I can't claim to have really come to gripes with your story but I can tell you that any children born to Harold Johnson & Beatrice Gott in England should be easily found in the GRO birth indexes. By 1914, these indexes included the maiden name of the mother so it is just a question of running through 8 years worth. I agree with John that you should obtain your father's birth certificate which will, of course, give you the names your parents were using at the time. I would also suggest that you get their marriage certificate, which again would give you the names they were using, their ages & who they listed as their fathers. Perhaps it's also worth noting that people listed as lodgers on the census were often relatives of some kind. Good luck Rosemary Ackroyd -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Hi all, I'm looking for burial records for George HIGGINBOTTOM d 10/2/1841, his Unknown wife d 1831-1837 and their daughter Harriot d 1828-1837. Could SKS with access to the St Peter's listings run me a lookup please? TIA John Green Velp. The Netherlands

Hi Alec Thanks to Jack Earnshaw, it appears that your grandfather's birth was registered as James Albert B(axby) Hird (a copy of his birth certificate should clear this up). If you picked up some of your information from a transcription of the 1901 census, it's probably worth checking the original entries, initially for 'ditto' on James Hirst and the relationships and marital status of his mother Emma. I suspect that the medal could be a red herring, and that Harold is not your grandfather, but probably a relative. The gap in the births of the children suggests that James probably fought in the war, so it's probably worth looking for James Albert on the medal rolls, and maybe Harold (I think the regiment and his number should be on the edge of the medal). If he fought throughout the war, one would expect at least two medals if not three. It's worth checking the war graves site for Harold, because if his medal has passed down to your line there is a chance that he was killed during the war, although if he was married one would expect his wife to have received it.

Jack He was in WW1,but I still think he could have had family,hence the moving about as they did.

Thank you.> Here's a little tip that I can pass on and which I came across entirely by accident. Ancestry will probably kill me if they find out I gave it away but what the heck! If you buy a one-off voucher from Ancestry for £4.95 this entitles you to 10 downloads - in my case usually from the 1851 census and 1871 that I can't obtain elsewhere. However - and here's the interesting thing - even after you have used up your 10 downloads the Ancestry system enables you to get deep inside their indexes for 2 weeks until your access runs out, and very often you can discover who is in a particular household, etc, so you don't need the images. Just thought I'd mention it.

But no death of FreeBMD However, as for a "first family" as there was a long gap from 1914 to 1922 - have you considered that there was a war on from 1914-1918 so he could have been fighting for King and Country.
