Debbie What is it that you are looking for? You can find the names of the two fathers by buying the marriage certificate (about 14 USD - 7GBP). It will also tell you where the marriage was that might help locate where Ruth was from (Huddersfield registration district includes many towns and villages). I looked, briefly, on the 1851 and 1861 censuses and couldn't find a trace of them - a longer search might turn them up. But if not easily found on 2 successive censuses then that might suggest they emigrated fairly soon after they married. Have you looked for them on the US censuses of 1850 and 1860 - or later? That may help to narrow down when they left UK by finding the places of birth of the children - eg if the youngest was born England and the rest in USA then you can narrow the dates down a lot. Ancestry.com is the place to look. Findmypast has shipping info from 1890, but this is probably too late for your couple. There are 3 Ruth Dawson's in "Almondbury" in 1841 who were born in 1826+-10yrs, but until you have the marriage certificate then you won't be able to narrow them down. Overall, to find their families you need to have the marriage certificate and search the 1841 census and the parish registers of where they were from. To find where/when they went you need passenger lists/immigraiton records and US censuses Jack -----Original Message----- From: west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Ned Gibbs Sent: 11 August 2007 18:09 To: WEST-RIDING@rootsweb.com Subject: [WRY] (no subject) List Please forgive me if I don't post thei correctly as I am very New to finding ancestors in England Also are their any genealogist one can pay that are reasonable and good ?
