I'm looking at records for the West Riding area just northeast of Doncaster. For several people, I find a cause of death as "A Wearing" or just "Wearing". The people who die of this are males and females of all ages. Other causes of death are specific and usual: small pox, fever, child-bed, decay [old age]. Does anyone know what "Wearing" is??? Thanks. Brenda

Hi I would be interested in attending if I was free at the time. Not much of a speaker but a good listener. Stewart

Hi Roy I'd love for you to come along.

Sorry I only just got onto this. I have a lot of Scholes as in Cleckheaton-Scholes connections. Is that the one you meant? I visited the parish church there last year. The graveyard is sadly unkempt due to lack of funding, but they have a lot of parish records. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 23 February 2010 08:03 To: [email protected] Subject: WEST-RIDING Digest, Vol 5, Issue 60 Today's Topics: 1.

It will produce a list of parishes in any County or a list of parishes within a given radius of any other parish and also allows Import and Export via "csv" files. It is possible to plot the location of parishes to either the screen or the printer. The latest version also includes a number of corrections to errors found by users. The parishes listed were those in existence at some during the period from the mid 1500s to about 1837 when civil registration started but see section 2.2 of the Manual for full details.

Hi Sue, I have a lot of information on the Genuki Yorkshire site that you will find helpful. If you look under "Maps" on the main Yorkshire page for instance, you will find maps showing parishes for each of the Ridings and a map showing nearly everywhere in Yorkshire, but also using colour coded dots to show you which parish any given place is in. There is also a piece of software called Parloc around, however be careful using this or you may get very confused. Despite its claiming to use only the ecclesiastical parishes, it does in fact contain a considerable number of civil parishes and may therefore have you looking in the wrong place for registers.

Hi.  I would not mind attending a Conference in Leeds/Sheffield, but don't know about giving a talk, I am not used to that sort of thing.

May I send a big thank you to everyone who has so kindly helped me and paved the way for me. I have learnt 3 new things One) I am rubbish at Geography, or as Jean put it "geographically challenged". Two) I never knew that you could gain so much more information from a census page just by clicking on the ED Number as Jenny explained. Three) There are so many knowledgeable people out there who are more than pleased to pass this knowledge on. Again a big thank you to you all Kind Regards Sue  ________________________________ From: Jenny De Angelis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, 21 February, 2010 0:19:24 Subject: Re: [WRY] Help please with Scholes Not a stupid question at all, we all had to start somewhere. A search of the 1901 census for Harold Laycock living in Yorkshire born 2yrs either side of 1901 with a father called Joseph brings up just one result, this shows the mother as Annie, so I assume this is the family you mean in your message. The 1901 census entry shows son Harold born at Cleckheaton Yorkshire. The family are living at Cleckheaton at the time and the top of the census page shows that this is in the Urban District of Scholes.  The ref. for this census entry is RG13 piece 471 folio 109 page 10. Looking at the page giving the description of the Enumeration District which is No. 7,  this shows that the Registration District is North Bierley, Sub District Cleckheaton. If you look at the census image on the Ancestry site at the top you will see it says Cleckheaton District 7, you can click on that District 7 which will take you to the description of the Enumerators walk that he took around District 7 collecting the completed census schedules from the householders. The heading on these description pages shows the Registration district etc., for that area. Searching on Free BMD for a birth of Harold Laycock in North Bierley Reg. District betwee 1895 and 1905 shows the most likely birth for your Harold. Sept. Qtr 1900 Harold Laycock North Bierley REg. District volume 9b page 152. Harold is shown in the 1901 census entry as age 8months, which would be about right if he was born between July -September 1900 and the census was taken on 5th April 1901 then he would between 7-9months old by the time of the census, dependant on the month he had been born during that September Quarter of 1900. Is it in the 1911 census that you have found him with his birth place shown as Scholes? Hope this helpt to get you on your way with Harold Laycock. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain. <<I am new to this list so please bear with me if I seem to ask a stupd question. Is Scholes part of the West Riding? I am searching for the birth of Harold Laycock born about 1901. Cenus returns show his birthplace as Scholes. His father was Joseph and his mother Annie(maiden name unknown as yet) . There are a lot of Harold Laycocks in Yorkshire and I need to narrow it down a little to be able to find his birth record.>> Some useful websites - FREECEN - http://www.freecen.org.uk/ FREEBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ Want to know where a place in Yorkshire is - Try Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi guys I am thinking about organising a genealogy unconference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference), It would be hosted in Yorkshire (probably Leeds or Sheffield), and I'm thinking late summer. This would be a grass roots family history event, the event is organised on the day and the people who attend would be the ones to give talks (it's not compulsory though). You could give a talk about how you record your data, how you overcame a particulary complicated brick wall, have you researched a particular area or industry that would be of interest to others? Would anyone be interested in attending? Steve

Hi, I am pleased you mention this as I thought of Scholes as being on the outskirts of Huddersfield but I am geographically challenged as we had little time for moving around when I lived there as I had to work and catch buses to get anywhere, didn't have a car. I have been watching "escape to the country" and learned more about the geography of England than I ever did at school. By the way we have LONGBOTTOM in our ancestry. Jane LONGBOTTOM from Morley married Frederick SPENCE in the late 1800s, She was my husband's great grandmother and our grandchildren had hysterics when I gave them her name, they had never heard anyone called that before.I even have a photo of her. Frederick became a borough policeman and they moved to Huddersfield. They had several children and lost 2 sons at least in WW1. I've never got round to doing any research on this side of the family as I have been kept pretty busy with other branches. Jean in S.
