Hi List, I am looking for the right registration district so that I can obtain a copy of a birth cert. According to the 1901 England census James W HILLS's (mis-transcribed as MILLS) birthplace is recorded as the above parish - I have found 2 birth registrations for a James William HILLS both for 1899. 1899 Selby 9c 901 Q3. 1899 Gateshead 10a 127 Q4. As I am totally unfamiliar with this area could SKS please point me in the right direction? If anyone is able to view the census details the information is as follows:- Rg13/4060 Folio 5 Page 1 - please remember surname is MILLS, but is an error. TIA Best Wishes Yvonne Hills _________________________________________________________________ Feel like a local wherever you go. http://www.backofmyhand.com

List I would be grateful for your advice….. I am in Sevilla, and researching the SHEPHERDSON family, with considerable guidance, help and support from very distant relatives in Canada, the USA and Australia. The problem is that they keep asking me questions that I am unable to answer! and research in England is that bit more difficult than if one of our number was more local to Yorkshire…… My current task is that we suspect that some of our ancestors became Methodists, and consequently we cannot find them in the local church Parish Records. One of our number is asserting that the Methodist church has not published their birth / marriage / death records. Is this so? and if it is so, can their Methodist records be accessed? and how? Thanks in advance for any help Geoff

Hi Geoff, The BVRI has quite a lot of methodist records, so it might be of some use. I have just ordered the disks and they are twenty euros in Spain ( I live in spain also) There are addresses of where it can be ordered on the LDS website.

Hello to all on this list,I am trying to find out if the following is two separate men or one and the same. 1.) Thomas JOHNSON b. abt 1793 of Yorkshire, married 31 May 1818 at St. Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire to Mary WEBSTER (Widow?), d/o William MUSGRAVE and Fanney DENNISON. 2.) Thomas JOHNSTON b. abt 1795, married Alice WEBSTER 18 Nov. 1821 at St. Thomas, Liverpool. Both of these are from IGI and, of course, very doubtful. IGI has no PR's for this St. Thomas. I am wondering if he first married a widow in 1818 and then marry a sister/neice/cousin in 1821. The Thomas married to Alice are the parents of William JOHNSON (No 't'), who is my 3x grandfather. Is there an sks that is related to these families that could help sort this out, please? Mary B.

Hi Nick I hope you get the information you seek from the Council but I would also consider the local newspapers If there is an entry for his death/burial it will usually tell you where the service/interment took place, it may also have further details of use to your research (such as undertaker, sometimes family are mentioned etc) Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Can some good person tell me how I go about finding the last resting > place of a great uncle who died in Ripon, c.1940?

Morning Lists I am currently looking after 3 rather lovely postcards all addressed to Miss Hick (Mary). She was obviously an avid collector of a famous actress/singer of the day by the name of Edna May (and quite a beauty too - what I wouldn't give to have hair like hers..... <vbg>). The cards are dated from 1904-1912 and are signed 'mother', 'Ethel' and 'A Mc'. There are 2 addresses mentioned - the 1904/1910 cards were sent to an address in Scarborough and the 1912 went to Whitby. The postmarks are Leeds, Scarborough and the one from 'Mother' came from Whitby ( Nov 1910) as a birthday greeting. The lady who owns these cards is moving house and I 'rescued' them from a pile for disposal. The name HICK has no family meaning to her and as they have prices on them (12p - not d, and 15p) I guess someone in the family bought them for the pictorial content. I am going to ask if I may forward them on to a family member if found - if she would rather I didn't send the originals then I'll scan them and send scans through to anyone who can claim ownership to Mary. Not quite a p.s. but I did a quick look on the 1901 and did find a family of that name where several of the children were born in Whitby and there was a 12 year old Mary - maybe the same family. Who knows? Here's hoping I can reunite? Mandy in Windermere

From: Nick Wilson <nickwilson@shaw.ca> > Can some good person tell me how I go about finding the last resting > place of a great uncle who died in Ripon, c.1940? I am pretty sure he > was CoE.> 1) Do you have the death certificate and is there a private address for him on it? Even if he died in hospital, there should be an address for the informant, who may have been his widow or a son or daughter. If there's a private address, then this should tell you whereabouts in Ripon he lived and you should then be able to trace either the nearest CoE church or public cemetery. 2) Ripon isn't that big but you need to find out how many cemeteries and churches there are in the town. Enter "Ripon+cemeteries" into Google and you get the following website for Ripon Cemetery... http://www.harrogate.gov.uk/harrogate-1017 There are contact details and a link to ask them to search the burial records. The major CoE church is Ripon Cathedral but there are/were numerous other churches and chapelries in and around Ripon. Try and find a library that has the National Index of Parish Registers, Vol 11, part 3, Yorkshire West Riding (Ripon is now in North Yorkshire but was in the WR until 1974). This lists them all and tells you where the registers are. 3) Look at the website of the Ripon Historical Society and Family History Group at..... http://www.riponhistoricalsociety.org.uk/ This may be of help. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Hello, I had no luck on my first attempt two weeks ago so am trying one more time because I shall be leaving for the U.K. shortly Can some good person tell me how I go about finding the last resting place of a great uncle who died in Ripon, c.1940? I am pretty sure he was CoE. Thanks, Nick
