Hello List, My name is karen, I am new to this list and I live in Australia. I have just recently learnt that part of my family is from Pudsey and surrounding areas, and I am hoping to find others out there that are also searching for the same families. The families that I am looking for are: PROCTOR sometimes spelt PROCTER, from Pudsey, Morley and Gildersome areas. GRAY, Thomas from Aberford around 1800 and up SENIOR, from Pudsey CARR from Pudsey Anyone who has connections to the above families and is willing to share information, I would love to hear from you. Thank you Karen Australia

In 1881 RG11 4449/20 Page 34 the family are at 6 Victoria Ter, Bradford Ann Rankin Wife M 43 Ireland Mary Eliz Rankin Dau UnM 16 Bradford Ann Rankin Dau UnM 14 Bradford Catherine Rankin Dau UnM 7 Bradford Jane Rankin Dau UnM 2 Bradford In 1901 RG13 4154/74 Page 17 the family are at 319 Bolton Road, Bradford, living with Mary Elizabeth who has by this time married Fenton Dunne and has a family of her own. When she marries Albert Mitchell Wood on 30th July 1904 she is living at 235 Wapping Road, Bradford. I just can't find her on the 1891 Census, any ideas greatly appreciated. Anne

Do you have any information about the rest of her family, Anne?

Nah then,lads an' lasses,it's Yorkshire Day sithee. And that's as far as I'm going with the language my Grandad Oates spoke fluently. So,in ordinary English,the warmest of good wishes to all who were born and bred in God's Own County----from Teesmouth to Humber Estuary,from Flamborough Head to Trough of Bowland,and all points in between. And the same warm wishes to all those who are elsewhere in the world,but who are lucky enough to have a Yorkshire ancestry. Fly your Yorkshire flag,and wear your white rose,with pride for all things Yorkshire. Tuck in to Whitby dabs,York Ham and Yorkshire salad,Yorkshire pudding,Yorkshire parkin and Yorkshire curd tart.In other words,enjoy the day thoroughly. Best Wishes to You All------Derek Barraclough [a true Yorkshire surname,if ever there was one] ps.The eating of Morecambe Bay shrimps, Lancashire hotpot,Manchester Tart and Eccles cakes is strictly forbidden on this day !

Seller's description: Real photographic postcard of what would appear to be signallers serving with D Company, 16th Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment [ Bradford Pals ]. On the extreme left of the card is 16/1029 Pte William Crane Booth, killed in action on 6 July 1916. Son of Benjamin & Martha Booth, 70 Southampton St, Otley Road, Bradford. Postcard in good overall condition, though corners and edges a little worn. Charles

I can account for Sally Ally in every census up to 1901 but Tricky Dicky is an enigma. After the wedding he appears to disappear, or doesn't appear, apparently. If anyone can help locate him I would be very grateful. Norman G.

Hello..I was trying to find a family in 1891 census by a residence 48 King Charles Street, Bradford.It was not there...so I downloaded the census image page for no. 50.... Now No.48 was on the page as well but on checking the address it was for (or at least it looks like ) King Charles COURT..So is there a King Charles Street AND also a King Charles Court......or is it a mistake..(mine or the census writer?) I seem to remember seeing King Charles Street in Otley Road when I was young......Regards and Thank You Bernard Porrelli

Hi Bernard The Alan Godfrey reproduction of the 1908 street map shows King Charles Street running westwards from Otley Road to North Wing. Going north up Otley Road it's the second on the left, between Paper Hall Street and Cavalier Street. I'm pretty sure King Charles Court would have been off King Charles Street - on the map all the houses in that area look like back-to-backs, and most of the named streets have a small entry leading to a courtyard (= xxx Court?) for access to the inner houses.

If there is anyone who is near Addingham I wonder if it is possible to get a photo of a grave in St Peter's churchyard please? It is the grave of Margaret HASTINGS who died 11 July 1934. The grave is marked by a marble cross and is " the first on the left of the far gate from the Rectory entance to the churchgrounds". It is thus described by a cameraless vistor there in 1966. The grave is that of my aunt and I'd very much appreciate a photo if this is possibl;e by anyone on the list.

I'd appreciate a look-up for my g grand uncle William MASON aged about 29 in 1871 in - I presume - Bradford. There does not seem to be an obvious or very likely 1881 entry for him. There are some plausible marriages - an Elizabeth, a Mary and a Hannah who may turn up in 1871. (Alfred is my g grandfather.)

Chris, Thanks so much for your interest. I would like to get the certificate and would appreciate your giving me the online site. Also I have the date of my other set of grandparents marriage who lived in Durham. Would I send to the same place for a copy? or do I have to get a site in Durham?

Christine, Thanks so much for the recent marriage info. Did not know when they were married but this seems to be them as Zillah was born 1878-1879 (their first child). Would there be additional info if I got the certificate? Would that give her father's name? Whatever info you've come across on this family would be appreciated. I'm pretty well overwhelmed with all the info you have located that I need to take time to sort it all out. As for the change in the Stephenson to Stevenson spelling or the name of head of household from Samuel to Benjamine Benn, I haven't a clue. I know that Margaret had a brother William who also came to the USA ( mentioned in her obit) but so far have not tried to locate any of his decendents. You are a GEM and I can't thank you enough. esther __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Martin, Thanks (I think) for information on Benn's of N. Bierley. You were right that you need lots of time to peruse it let alone digest it, but I'll work on it. Really at this point not sure what my line is as I'm just starting to search them out. Need to get my grandmother's birth certificate to see who her parents were. Thanks again for sharing. esther __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
