I'm afraid I couldn't bring myself to wade through the millions of syrupy words in the papers today about Prince William and Kate Middleton, However, the only aspect that interested me is Kate's ancestry which, on her paternal side, is from Yorkshire, as many listers will probably already know. The Middletons were a prominent Leeds legal family, her great-grandfather Richard Noel Middleton (usually known by his middle name of Noel) being a solicitor born in Leeds in either late 1878 or early 1879. His father and grandfather were also Leeds solicitors. Noel Middleton married Olive LUPTON at Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds, in 1914. Olive was of the even more prominent Lupton family, who played a considerable part in the business and social life of Leeds in the 19th and early 20th centuries, building up textile mills and an engineering business and becoming city councillors and holders of various public offices. However, three Lupton brothers, Kate's gt-gt-uncles, all died in World War I. I won't bore you with all the details but those interested in seeing whether they may have a connection will find a full family tree back to gt-gt-grandparents at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Middleton and a link on that page to a story in the Yorkshire Post in 2006 at: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/features/The-Leeds-connection.1760281.jp Perhaps when - or if - she ever becomes Queen Kate and has a family, she will sing "On Ilkla Moor 'baht 'at" to her kids!

This message is for Doug who wrote the following on Oct 24th. I would like to know where you ordered the CD with old Yorkshire maps.

I had now idea that those locations were so close to each other. I've since ordered a CD with old maps of Yorkshire. Some of them show what I would imagine to be wagon trails and hiking paths. It's very interesting when I use "Google Earth" to look up some of the locations and see what they look like today and try to imagine what the living conditions were like back then. Again, thanks for your input and if maybe I can be of any assistance to you in the future drop me a line at keefed@hughes.net<mailto:keefed@hughes.net>.

Hi Greg, If you use the IGI Family Search and Enter Clatworthy you will see the number there are in the South of England Devon & Cornwall in particular which may link one of the southern Pickards in Devon to your Clatworthy.

Yes we had also noted the Devon pocket of Pickard's but as we were talking about Yorkshire I thought I had better not cloud the issue. The answer we feel that would be the most likely is that they were fishermen or sailors and stayed in Devon with a lovely lass for company therefore producing many more "Pickard's.

Good morning Lance. I am sure I wont be able to help you but being a "Pickard" researcher myself I know how hard it is to pinpoint them. Our William Pickard we can trace back to Leeds/Bradford area in 1811 a Wool Comber. When we checked the geographical area the majority of Pickard's came from the West Riding but more so the northern part around Bradford. My husband whose line this is has a theory that the "Pickard's" came over with William the Conqueror or at the later date when the Cistercian Monasteries were founded as shepherds etc looking after the sheep that belonged to the Abbey's i.e. Fountains, Kirkstall, Riveaulex to give you a few. Coincidentally I now live in Ottawa Canada. I am from Sheffield myself and I know at the time period your Frederick was born there were very few churches for you to search in that area. As Sheffield is at the southern tip of the West Riding I can say there are NO Pickards in that area in that time frame. Maybe if you could check the Leeds & Bradford Parish churches out as a start but it is a bit like looking for a needle in haystack. What did he call his firstborn son. And do you have his baptismal records from Quebec? Good luck. Elaine in Ottawa. Canada. -----Original Message----- From: Lance L.

In Search of Frederick PICKARD from Yorkshire, England. According to his biography Frederick PICKARD was born 04 Jun 1799 in Yorkshire, England. He served with the 68th Regiment of Foot Infantry at the Garrison of Quebec. He married Mary McGREGOR there 14 Jul 1823. He was listed as a deserter 16 Apr 1826. He wife and child settled in Cayuga County, NY, until 1836 where he relocated to Ottawa County, Ohio. He died there 16 Jul 1861, never knowing the hero that his son became in the American Civil War. I have not been able to make a connection back in Yorkshire. Regards, Lance

Hi folks I have recently found a reference on Ancestry to the death of a David Wilby, who appears to have absconded to the US following bankruptcy proceedings being taken against him in 1821/1822. WILBY,David, “a strain in a ship,” [buried] June 22, 1822. (Medford, Massachusetts) Could anyone offer an explanation to the cause of death 'a strain in a ship'? With regards Raymond Wilby Morley, West Yorkshire

Dear List, I am wondering if SKS would be able to lookup a burial record for the above person. I have found on FreeBMD a Lily PORTAS on FreeBMD buried 1912 in District Pontefract, Yorkshire Vol 9c Page 199, but it doesn't tell me any more when I view the original image. I don't know what parish she lived in only what I have above. I would like to know if this Lily PORTAS was the wife of Andrew PORTAS. Lily was married to Andrew PORTAS from Lincolnshire. She was born in Weigmouth, Dorsetshire abt 1850. They married about 1890 in Sculcoates, Yorkshire. 1891 census they are in Kingston upon Hull / Holy Trinity - Andrew is a licensed victualler. 1901 census they are in Lelley, District 3, Yorkshire and Andrew is still a a licensed victualler.

Hi, good day to you all. I would appreciate some help please with the 1891 Census. I have a subscription with the Genealogist, but am unable to trace a specific family and feel that they may have been mis-transcribed. The family in question are to be found on 1901 Census, (with a surname of SHERNAM), they are:- Henry SHIMMAN, born Northumberland 1859, Ada SHIMMAN(nee Wilkinson) born Hull 1864, (married Hull 1886) William SHIMMAN, their son, born Hull 1887, their daughter Mabel SHIMMAN is living with another family on the 1901 Census(shown as SHIMMIN), I have tried searching under the obvious, but am unable to find them, any help would be appreciated, thanks in anticipation, Maurice H....

Shimman: Elizabeth and Henry were in North Shields. Mabel was in Hull.

It is possible Sarah Hunt died in 1904/4367 age 90. Francis Hunt died 1900/2083 age 95. You can order online but get the death entry and not the death certificate. At best it will be a guess that these two are the right ones but then you can search yourself. I have searched from 1/1/1840.
