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 -----Original Message----- From: west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Maureenpontefhs@aol.com Sent: 26 June 2007 15:00 To: west-riding@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WRY] Robert Miller of Knottingley I have just discovered that my 2nd great grandfather, Robert MILLER married an Elizabeth TERRY at Pontefract in 1853. 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). I wonder if anybody else connects with this family. I am particularly interested in where Robert was in the 1851 census. Kind regards, Paul Manning Glastonbury, Somerset Hello Paul, sorry, not related to my family. (Mine are MILNER) I can tell you ROBERT or his father ROBERT were not in Knottingley or surrounding towns or villages (Pontefract, Castleford etc) in 1851 I have copy of what Pontefract FHS have transcribed & they are not listed. _www.pontefractfhs.org.uk_ (http://www.pontefractfhs.org.uk) There are some MILLER families as well as some TERRY families. Maybe he was in Hensall where he met his bride-to-be? good luck, hope someone can locate him from Ancestry for you, Maureen _http://www.yorkshirevisitor.com/exec/150514/14870/_ (http://yorkshirevisitor.com/exec/150514/14870/) _http://www.pontefractliquoricefestival.co.uk/_ (http://www.pontefractliquoricefestival.co.uk/) _www.pontefractus.co.uk_ (http://www.pontefractus.co.uk/) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEST-RIDING-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.
