HI You may be disappointed as UK marriages before 1837 do not name the father of the bride or groom Sharon June Wray <junew@adam.com.au> wrote: Hello Listers, Is there anyone out there who has access to parish reg. for Hemingbrough, please? I have found on the IGI a marriage between Mary Maskill and William Sims, which took place on 23 December 1826 at Hemingbrough. I am most interested in any other information on the marriage record, most importantly to confirm the name of Mary's father. Many thanks for your time.

Hi Marilyn I too was born in Acomb, but did not have much knowledge of the Nunnery Lane area, apart from Swann Street, where my grandmother had a flat, used to go and see her on a lunchtime when I was at the Tech College in Clifford Street/Castlegate. Lynda - York

Author: jgibson65 Surnames: Woodcock Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.yks.general/707.4548/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi Stephen Just read your post and thought it was worth a shot! My 4xg grandfather was James Woodcock, a master mariner who had lived at Whitby although I don't know if that was his birthplace. I believe he was born around 1783. I have found two baptisms of children to James and a possible first wife Mary (although I haven't found a marriage) - Mary Ann Woodcock, baptised at Whitby on 4 September 1805, and William Hinds Woodcock, baptised at Whitby on 9 August 1807. I believe that James may have married a second time, at Bishopswearmouth, to Mary Pinkney, in 1810, but returned to Whitby where their daughter Jane Woodcock was born, and subsequently baptised on 9 August 1811, followed some years later by a son Robert Woodcock who was baptised at Whitby on 28 September 1821. I don't know of any other children to either his possible first, or his second, wife. I don't even know if all the children were to Mary Pinkney and they just didn't marry until 1810, but thought that this was not so likely as him being married previously. I'm descended from his daughter Jane. I have seen all of these records on the IGI, plus I've seen the baptisms in a book of Whitby St Mary transcripts at Teesside Archives. All four children are said to be of James Woodcock, master mariner or sailor, and Mary. There doesn't seem to be a marriage of James and any Mary's in these transcripts that would fit so I'm assuming that the Bishopwearmouth marriage of 1810 is theirs. To confuse the issue, there is another James and Mary (nee Binner) Woodcock in Whitby who married in 1818 and went on to have several children. This James was a cabinet maker. I spent a long time assuming that this couple were the parents of my Jane Woodcock, until I found information that led me to believe that there were two couples with the same name, and then went on to find other things that substantiated this (don't want to confuse you with that info just yet!) It seems that my James and Mary came from Whitby to Stockton on Tees sometime between son Robert's birth in 1821, and 1828, when I've found entries for James in Stockton Poor Rates book (he's listed as Captain Woodcock). James died in 1843 in Stockton, of catarrh, aged 60, and his wife Mary died ten years later. They're both buried in the graveyard of Holy Trinity Church, which is now sadly a hollow shell after a fire some years ago. I can't seem to find any more information on James, such as a birthplace for him (he's not in the Whitby St Mary's baptisms). There are several possibilities on the IGI but I've nothing else to go on. Can you help? Best wishes. Janice Gibson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc- > thanks so much for your help, this information is fantastic. > > There's just one thing that confuses me about using the parish > records. If i find the name of the parents of one child, how do i find > out what other children they had?> It's quite simple. Having found one child, you will see in the bottom left- hand corner of the screen with the details a batch number. If it is an official extraction from parish records, as opposed to a private submission by an LDS member (which are often unreliable), it will probably begin with the letter C, although it could sometimes be a K, J or I. Just click on the underlined link with the batch no. and this automatically returns you to the search screen, but you will see that the batch no. has now appeared in the appropriate box. Enter just the surname and the parents' names and search again. All the children baptised to that couple in the parish will appear, although you may have to omit the wife's name since often they were not entered in the records by the incumbent. Mothers were not thought of as being very important in those days, only the father! There are pitfalls to watch out for. For instance, if it's a common surname there could well have been more than one couple with the same names in the parish, i.e. John and Mary Smith. Also, they might have had other children in a different parish, in which case you will have to take pot luck by entering the parents' names, the region, country and county (in this case Yorkshire) and approximate dates and leaving the main forename and surname fields blank. A number of possibles may appear but you will then have to use other methods to try and pin down whether they were the same couple as appear in another parish. Since you are obviously a beginner, why don't you take the trouble to read my Newbies' Guide (URL below)? There is a whole section explaining all about the IGI and how to use it. -- 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."
