WALTER HINDLE WAITE & Family in Bradford 1901 Census.Does anyone have a connection to this family ? Hello Listers, My great grandfather Joseph Hindle had a sister MARY HINDLE married to JOSEPH JOHN WAITE on 5.2.1865 at St.Peters, Leeds. They had son WALTER HINDLE WAITE born 1866, at Bramley. Mary Waite died and he remarried.Their son,Walter Hindle Waite is found in the 1901 Census at 10, Fernley Street, St.Peters, Bradford with family as follows :- Walter Hindle Waite 33 yrs born Bramley, Cloth Tenterer Martha Waite (nee Strike) 32 yrs.born Ireland Lily Waite 10 yrs born Bradford Elsie Waite 9 yrs born Bradford Harry Waite 7 yrs born Bradford Florrie Waite 5 yrs born Bradford. If anyone can see any of this family in their tree, pleased to hear from you for mutual discussion, as we would definitely be related. Kindest regards, Derek Hindle in Tasmania, Australia.

If you ever get back to the early 1800s, I have a couple of minor connections to RAISTRICK from SKIRROW. And my SKIRROW ancestors were in the Idle area. I have a Martha Ellen RAISTRICK, nee SKIRROW, born 1876 Her parents were John Marshall SKIRROW and Anne WILLIAMS; further details back to 1841 if required. Plus, from marriages at St Wilfrids, Calverley: 1838 10 14 SKIRROW, Timothy married RAISTRICK, Mary And 1839 07 14 RAISTRICK, James married SKIRROW, Ann (Notes: father Bannister) NB: Don't quite understand the Note of 'father - Bannister' - I guess that this says that the bride's name was given as: Ann Skirrow, but her father's name was given as Bannister. I don't have anything more on these RAISTRICK references. ####### Stephen Smith Researching SKIRROW, SMITH, WOMERSLEY in Bradford and Bingley c 1800 -----Original Message----- From: west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of CHRISTINE Sent: 02 July 2007 23:28 To: lancsgen@rootsweb.com Cc: west-riding@rootsweb.com Subject: [WRY] raistrick Henry Raistrick was born in 1884 in Bradford, he was married to Annie Elizabeth Tetley. They had their daughter in 1909 in Bradford. They were married in Bradford on the 20th June 1908. They lived on Silk St in Manningham for a number of years, however when Annie Elizabeth died, Henry then had a new partner (wife?) and produced a son. My mother in law had a photograph of this half brother. She left Bradford when she was old enough and came to Manchester and attended Elysian St School. ( not yet proven) She was married from Openshaw and married at St Barnabas. I have found another member of the Raistrick family marrying at St Barnabas, he was Herbert E Raistrick and the date was 1899.I am trying to connect these people but as yet have been unsuccessful. I believe the names Jonas, Henry, Robert, William, Beatrice,Clifford,Charles, Alfred, Nellie may be connected. Rhoda was another name that featured. Rhoda was the name of the young Raistrick who came to Manchester and married! my father in law. I am unlucky as my mother in law was reluctant to talk about her early life and I should really have pursued the subject as now none of her children know much about her early life or indeed their relatives. I know that her grandparents were Henry born 1846 Bradford and Elizabeth born 1848 in Shipley, Henrys parents were William born 1807 and Grace Laycock born 1809.

Hello Christine I don't know if there is any connection but in one of the families that I am working on there is a Walter Raistrick ARCHBELL. He was the son of Jabez Samuel ARCHBELL and Sarah Jane TURTON. Sarah Jane was the daughter of Josiah TURTON and Jane Elizabeth RAISTRICK. All these families were originally from Yorkshire and came to South Africa (more specifically Natal) in the 1840s. My main interest is in the family of James ARCHBELL and his wife Elizabeth HAIGH who came from Tadcaster and Leeds. And in their link to my own HAIGH family from Huddersfield, but I do have access to information on the TURTONS and possibly the RAISTRICKS if you are interested. And while I am about it if anyone could help me find John HAIGH ( probably Rev.) who married Elizabeth TEMPEST in 1779 I would be eternally grateful! I have her father as Hugh TEMPEST (possibly of Brasfeild Hall) who marries ?? EDMONDOSON in 1750. The Edmonsons come from Barnoldwick but seem to have been a huge family. I have Elizabeth HAIGH living at Elmwood Place in Leeds before the 1841 census but then she disappears so I guess that she died before 1841. All the best from KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

Chris As far as I can see, Raistrick was quite a common name in Idle and Shipley in the late 1800's. I have however, a Rhoda Raistrick born c1888 in Baildon, daughter of Hartley Raistrick (b c1865) and Mary Mumby (b 1868). Because of her remoteness to me, I have no info on Rhoda after the 1901 Census, but must admit that I have not looked too seriously. Hartley was the brother of John Raistrick (b c1856), who in 1889 married Isabella Scott (b c1861), with one of John and Isabella's descendants being the grandfather of the husband of one of my directly related aunts....... and her daughter is one of my best allies in researching our family history. So possibly a very tenuos connection, but no knowledge of any Raistrick's in Manchester....... Let me know if any further info might be helpful, and I'll send you what I have off-list Regards Geoff in very hot Sevilla >From: "CHRISTINE" <CHRISTINE.SHELMERDINE@ntlworld.com> >Reply-To: west-riding@rootsweb.com >To: <lancsgen@rootsweb.com> >CC: west-riding@rootsweb.com >Subject: [WRY] raistrick >Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 23:28:17 +0100 > >Henry Raistrick was born in 1884 in Bradford, he was married to Annie >Elizabeth Tetley.

Hi Maureen, Many thanks for coming back to me. Thank you very much for looking at the 1851 census for me. I think I have now found him in Norfolk.

Robert is described as age 29, a timekeeper of Knottingley on his marriage certificate, the son of Robert Miller, farmer. Elizabeth is a spinster, aged 20, of Hensall, the daughter of John Terry, farmer. Witnesses were Joseph Tasker and Alice Terry (I believe this to be her mother).

Hi Maureen, Many thanks for coming back to me. Thank you very much for looking at the 1851 census for me. I think I have now found him in Norfolk. I have a Peter MILNER in my tree who married Dorothy Margaret ALDOUS in the mid 20th century. Best wishes, Paul Hi Paul, good of you to let me know you may have found ROBERT. My MILNERs came from Thorpe Willoughby in Yorkshire. Most stayed in around the village but one son moved to Brotherton & two to Pontefract mid/late 1800's (all very close to Knottingley) Where did your PETER come from? good luck, Maureen Pontefract Liquorice Festival 7th - 15th July _http://www.pontefractliquoricefestival.co.uk/_ (http://www.pontefractliquoricefestival.co.uk/)
