    1. [WRY] Jane Laycock
    2. S.Hallett
    3. Hi I have been trying to find information about Jane Laycock born about 1803 in the Kildwick area. She had two illegitimate children to a Thomas Smith. Jane appears to have died in 1833 as in the Kildwick burials index, there is a Jane Laycock age 30 years, burried on 5 May 1833. If anyone comes across or is related to this mystery woman I would be very interested to hear from them. Her Children where Hannah Laycock born abt 1829 and Ambrose Laycock born abt 1829. Ambrose married and had a young son then seems to have left his wife and son and relocated to Victoria in Australia. He seems to have kept in touched with his son and wife in Yorkshire and remarried (in Australia) when his wife Ann (in Yorkshire ) died .

I see from Genuki that Skipton is only 4-1/2 miles south of Kildwick.

    1. Re: [WRY] FreeBMD and Ancestry
    2. Rosemary Ackroyd
    3. Civil registration for English & Welsh BMDs began in July 1837. From that time indexes have been compiled. Information based on these indexes on Ancestry falls into 3 categories -: 1. A database of electronic information which is now pretty well complete from 1837 to close to 1920. This is available because Ancestry links to FreeBMD although that's not clear when you do the search. If you look at the source information at the bottom of the Ancestry search, you will see that FreeBMD is credited. My understanding is that Ancestry sponsors FreeBMD so this is all quite legitimate. Ancestry does NOT have a separate or different database. Presumably Ancestry does not charge for this information because the transcription has been done by volunteers. That said, it is sometimes worth searching via Ancestry as well as FreeBMD because the searches operate in different ways. Ancestry imposes its seach structure onto the database - you can get different results. Although not if you ask EXACTLY the same question! Have a look at FreeBMD FAQ http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/FAQ.html And to check progress & for any gaps in the information http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progress.shtml They reckon that the whole of the indexes from 1837 to 1983 will be transcribed by 2011. 2. An ongoing electronic datebase compiled by the ONS. This began in 1984 & continues; the last time I looked Ancestry had this database up to 2004. 3. From 1837 to 1983, digitised images of the original indexes can be viewed. If you do a search, the result is a facsimile of the original index page compiled way back when. It's like searching on fiche at a library but easier & more convenient! For those who have never done this before, this gives you in excess of 100 entries in alphabetically order on a typeset page & leaves you to find what you're looking for. It has to be done quarter by quarter. The link I have to get to all 9 of these datasets - one of each type for births, deaths & marriages is - http://www.ancestry.com/search/locality/dbpage.aspx?tp=3257&p=3251&categoryFilterID=34&showPaging=true It follows therefore that from the most recent FreeBMD work, (somewhere before 1920) & up to the end of 1983, searches can only be done via digitised images, downloading each quarter. A more tedious & low tech procedure than interogating a database. Hope this makes it a little clearer for those who haven't used these datasets before.

    1. Re: [WRY] Evans's in Haworth
    2. Rod Evans
    3. Roy, you may be right in that Frederic Henry Evans was illegitimate and he had invented his parents because I've also had my Y-DNA analysed and have an exact 25/25 match with Eastwood(see QHMNK Ysearch.org.) There were Eastwoods in Haworth. I certainly place no trust on the IGI entries as they came from a distant relation who was a LDS church member and his sources were second hand. My first record of FHE was the birth of his daughter in Sydney in 1880 to his 'wife' Charlotte Kaye Kay. The subsequent births of his children give various dates and places for his marriage to Charlotte Kay (born in Pannal abt.1857), they being 17 Feb 1879 Pannal; Jan 1879 Horton; Sept 1876? England. I cannot find any record of this marriage. I have obtained three birth certificates for Frederic(k) Henry Evans's they are; Frederic Henry Evans to Alfred Evans & Maria Martha Pearson Lancaster 1857 Frederick Henry Evans born to John Evans & Sarah Barratt Whitechapel 1853 Frederick Henry Evans born to Thomas Evans & Sarah leappock Altrincham, Chester 1856. I notice there are some Gerard families in West Yorkshire. Also, after FHE died in Upper Hutt, New Zealand in 1920, a woman named Louise, came either from Canada or America looking for her father. No one knew of her existence. - The plot thickens!! -----Original Message----- From: west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Roy Stockdill Sent: Monday, 11 June 2007 7:54 p.m. To: west-riding@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WRY] Evans's in Haworth From: "Rod Evans" <totara.trust@xtra.co.nz> > List: I my g grandfather Frederic Henry EVANS marriage certificate to > my g grandmother that occurred in NZ, states that he was born in > HAWORTH about 1854-56 and that his parents were William EVANS > (overlooker) and Isabella GERARD. > > > > I cannot find any record of any of the above people: baptismal records > of St Michael's Church, Haworth have no record of any person names > EVANS; census records from 1851 to 1871 don't seem to help either. > > > > I have always assumed that since William EVANS was an overlooker, and > that he must have worked in a spinning mill, but since FHE was a > nurseryman could the title overlooker also apply to a nurseryman? > > > > I don't know what mills were in the vicinity of Haworth in the 1850's > and how I would obtain records of the employee's of these mills, or if > he were a nurseryman then what possible estates he may have worked at.> I note there are three IGI entries for him but all are LDS private submissions and therefore, unreliable. No doubt they were taken from the NZ marriage certificate by some church member. All give a birth date of Feb 19 1855 but there are two different death dates, one in 1893 and the other 1920. Since there appears to be no sign of any Frederic Henry Evans (or with similar variant forenames) at Haworth in 1861 (though they may have left for NZ by then) and I can find no marriage of a William Evans and Isabella Gerard, my suspicion is that he was illegitimate and "invented" a set of parents - not exactly uncommon when someone was marrying and wished to disguise the fact from their prospective spouse. You may have to face this fact. -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org 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."

I'm not complaining though, it saved many hours of trawling through the death records for many years when one hasn't a clue when to start looking.

I was told there that bmd records between 1900 and 1983 are available at ancestry.com, but not electronically searchable. They are available as scans of individual pages that one must search through. Seemingly they are organized in such a way that one can find the right page in the right district or whatever to search for each year. But I can't find how to access tehm on the ancestry.com site. Can someone please tell me where to find them. Thanks!
