Hi Folks, Is there a Pudsey Family History Fair planned for this year? Jill

Hello Lists Just a reminder. I'm still trying to generate interest and support for http://barcamp.org/Family-History-Camp-2010 If this is something you would be interested in attending, or if you know someone who would, please add your name to the wiki. (email address is optional, but I'll be able to keep you updated. Putting your name down does not commit you, I'm just trying to see if there is enough interest. Steve

Hi Folks, In case you didn't know, Google went live yesterday with the "full" version of UK Streetview. See maps.google.co.uk select the place you want then choose streetview.

Hi, I need the advice of you knowledgeable folk of Yorkshire ancestry. Well, no, not really. But as it concerns a distant family branch, served by a distant mailing list, I can ask the question here without risking embarrassment to a distant relative. This relative has sent me a professionally commissioned genealogy done almost 20 years ago, and into which an extra generation has been squeezed on the basis of what I believe is an incorrect assumption. These are the basic details. Jane Smith's father was a John Smith. There were two John Smiths and the only reference differentiating the two is a description of one as 'the Elder' on their respective burial records. Jane Smith's mother's name is the same as the elder John Smith's wife's name. There are no christening, marriage or children records for the younger John Smith. Although possible, it would be a tight squeeze for the younger John to fit in the gap between the elder John's wife's birth, 1683, and Jane's birth, 1726. And the only marriage record for a John Smith, in 1708, makes this more unlikely. Yet the family historian states 'The description ('the elder') almost certainly identifies John the elder as the father of John, the father of Jane'. I have always believed that Parish Record descriptions such as elder/younger, or senior/junior are used purely to differentiate between two people of the same name, in just the same way that two similarly named people might be described as being from Uptown/Downtown. The two might very well be father and son, but THAT IS NOT THE INTENTION of the description. What d'ya think? Should my relative ask for her money back? Dom.

On this day in 1801, 1st British census is held, revealing a population of approx 10 million people Kind Regards Mike Kostiuk Family Tree Folk Bringing genealogy to life * E-mail: [email protected] ( Office phone: 01977 791657 : Website: www.familytreefolk.co.uk

There is a biography at: http://www.officialmolliesugden.co.uk/biography.html which names her parents as Willie Sugden and Mary Shackleton and supposedly takes her Sugden ancestry back to 1811, assuming it's accurate. She had a brother John Paul born in 1908 and if the biog is correct, then both her parents were over 40 when she arrived. Actually, I was interested to see her mother was a Shackleton since I, too, descend from the Keighley Shackletons (as did Sir Ernest Shackleton), so quite possibly I was distantly (very) related to her. Thanks for the prompt! I may now check out her ancestry myself. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer 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 Janet let me know more about your Sugdens as I have some from Silsden though not directly related. Re the post about Mollie; my parents knew her in Keighley but I wish I'd known she worked at the munitions factory ... .......(which was probably in Steeton and not Keighley) as my father worked there as well in the war; it would have been nice to have contacted her to reminisce. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the factory in 1942 but the link to the report seems to have vanished. My father is in the background of the photo taken at the time!

Only this, which would serve as a starter: but you'd need her marriage certificate to get her father's name. Mary Isobel Sugden was born in Keighley in Yorkshire on July 21 1922. Her father ran an iron and steel company. Mollie Sugden was educated at the local Grammar School, then worked during the war in a munitions factory in Keighley making shells for the Royal Navy. When she was later made redundant, she enrolled at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Away from showbusiness, Mollie Sugden enjoyed gardening, cooking and driving fast cars. "I used to speed about in a Porsche," she told an interviewer in 1995. "But seven or eight years ago I was done for doing 92mph on the motorway, so now I drive a Mercedes." Mollie Sugden and her husband had identical twin sons, born when she was 41.She confessed that when they were very young she had to keep them labelled so that she could tell them apart and that "more than once I bathed the same one twice". Her husband died in 2000. The TV star, best known for playing Mrs Slocombe in long-running BBC sitcom Are You Being Served?, died at the Royal Surrey Hospital after a long illness on 1 July 2009. The Yorkshire-born actress's twin sons, Robin and Simon Moore, were at her bedside, agent Joan Reddin said. Sugden, who lived in Surrey, was married to fellow actor William Moore, best known for his role as Ronnie Corbett's father in sitcom Sorry! It was while treading the boards in 1956 that she met her husband. They married two years later, when she was 35 and he was 39. Their twin sons were born six years later. cheers Maggie
