There is a listing in the BMD for a John Bradley died September quarter 1886-Settle 9a/8 aged 77 years. The record is from Clapham a parish town in the wapentake of Ewcross, 6 miles north-west of Settle. How can I find his burial and if he had a will? Thank you, Caroline

Hi Listers, My first posting and I have a conundrum regarding Snaith Peculiar. Does anyone out there know the CORRECT spelling of Snaith Priory? We have St Lawrence and St Laurence. To date from the web I have St Lawrence from British History Online, Doncaster FHS, Medieval Genealogy, East Riding Council, Goole on the web, Selby today, Doncaster Council, Yorkshire History, York University, the Borthwick, 1857 and 1927 Trade Directories and Doncaster Archives. But St Laurence from GENUKI, the Churches of Britain and Ireland, Boyd's Marriage Index, Pager's Marriage Index, The Church of England, the Diocese of Sheffield, the Link Magazine (this is produced by the local group of churches and they insist it is Laurence) and all the registers in the church (I am going to view these at the Priory today so that should be conclusive!! - or should it? Bad enough our ancestors changing names or misspelling but now a church! Any views?

Hi all I have just found out that my Great Grandmother was a munitions worker & I suspect at Barnbow munitions factory. Does anyone have anymore information?? Or is able to tell me how I can confirm that she worked there??.. Many Thanks in advance Nicci - NZ

I have a vague memory that the Society of Genealogists may have a book of the Birstall registers from those dates. I seem to remember coming across it when I was trying to find my (still elusive) Wike deaths for John and Nancy Hanson. If Janet has no luck, I should be happy to do a quick check for you, but I shall not be back in England until mid-august. Let me know how you get on.

IF anyone is familiar with the following names, please get back to me. LILY LAVINIA MARY BISHOP was my great-grandmother. She was from Kent and married a THOMAS RICHARD VOUSDON in 1899. They had a daughter LILLIE LAVINIA VOUSDON in 1901. Whether or not Thomas Vousdon died, I don't know, but Lily moved from Kent to Yorkshire (PUDSEY/STANNINGLEY) with my great-grandfather CHARLES EDWARD RIPLEY in 1902 and she brought baby Lillie with her. My grandfather JOHN HENRY RIPLEY was born in 1903 in Pudsey, and QUEENIE RIPLEY born in 1904. In 1905 Charles Edward Ripley (then under the name of CHARLES EDWARD BARTON) moved to Durham taking only my grandfather John Henry with him. Lily later met and married JOHN HALL. LILLIE VOUSDON (Lily's daughter from her first marriage) married ARTHUR P BATTY in 1927 (registration district North Bierley). QUEENIE RIPLEY married LEONARD PARRATT in 1924 (registration district North Bierley) JOHN HALL and LILY'S marriage: 21 February 1916 at the Parish Church Pudsey. John (given age 44, occupation Soldier)lived at the same address (14 Park Square, Pudsey) as Lily (given age 36). John's father is given as John Hall (deceased). Lily's father given as John Bishop. Witnesses at the ceremony were FRED BARTON and LILY LAVINIA VOUSDON. Apologies to those I have sent similar personal mails to. Many thanks Brian

Hello I am trying to find details of JOSEPH WOODCOCK who married ELIZABETH JAGGAR in Mirfield 20/4/1726 and had a son JAMES WOODCOCK christened in Birstall on 2/2/1743 I am guessing that Joseph and Elizabeth were born about 1700 - 1708 period. There does not appear to be anything in the Mirfield or Hartshead registers so I am hoping that there may be an entry in the Birstall register but unfortunately neither the IGI nor Ancestry.com have the Birstall registers for this time. If anybody has access to the Birstall registers for this period I would be grateful for any information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dave Woodcock

LILY BISHOP moved to the STANNINGLEY/PUDSEY area in circa 1902. Her husband/partner (CHARLES EDWARD RIPLEY) left her leaving her to raise 2 daughters, LILLIE VOUSDEN (from a previous marriage), and QUEENIE RIPLEY. In 1916 she married JOHN HALL in Pudsey. She died in Bradford in 1934. If any of these names are in anyone's line of research, or sound familiar please reply. Thanks.

No worries Judith. I find that each country has it's pluses & minuses. I have reasearch in Yorkshire, Scotland, the US, Canada, South Africa, Australia & NZ. I am thankful that I have a few of my Yorkie ancestors living in Dade Parishes at ther right time. My experence that historical Scottish Statutory records are far cheaper ( 1 pound verses 7 pounds), and give a lot more information. For example an English Death cert tells you very little, at the cost of 7 pounds, for 1 pound a Scottish cert gives you all the spouces, the names of the deceased parents (according to the informat), the informants name & thier relationship to the deceased of the witness. One of the best things I find about Scottish records is the Scottish custom of women using both her maiden & married name in BMD's and baptisms. The Yorkish brances of my tree, generally go back further than my Scottish ones, but there are lots of females with just thier first name, or a question mark on the maiden name. Where as the Scottish branches are fuller and end because the parish registers run out. England parish records go back much further, but have less information (Dade excluded), the fact that there are Bishops Transcripts also means, there is a back up, the Scottish registers don't have this, so if part of the register is missing, tough. Another minus with Scottish Church records, there is hardly any burial records (the Kirk felt such things were accociated with popery). England is unsual that it's indices are widely avaliable and right upto date. Scotland, some Canadian provences and Aussie state, which have pay per view access to certs, all have a limit on access smilar to Scotlands, 100 years for births, 75 years for marriage and 25 years for deaths. British Columbia & some Aussie states have 120 years on births, due to privacy and identify fraud reasons. NZ in in the process of something similar, which maybe even more draconian. Our widely avaliable BMD indices end at 1990, you want anything later you have to go into the registars office. I suspect one England gets it's certs online, you may find similar restrictions. Good luck and Good Hunting with your research. cheers John Dods Wellington, NZ --- Judith Kettlewell <judith.kettlewell@btinternet.com> wrote: > Hi John > > Many thanks for your very detailed explanation of > how Scottish Records work > [in your first reply].

Hi John Many thanks for your very detailed explanation of how Scottish Records work [in your first reply]. You never know, I may need them at some time. This is my first foray into Scotland and it seems it is not as easy as researching in England. More expensive too! I may take a trip up to Edinburgh in August when the Festival is on and kill two birds with one stone. Thank you for your help.

Many thanks Gail. This is my one and only foray into Scottish records and it looks like we are quite spoilt in England compared to Scotland when it comes to ease of obtaining information.
