Hello listers Does some kind person have the YORKS FHS West Riding burials CD or fiche covering the period 1795-1801. I would be very grateful if a search could be made for burials of any children with surname PICK aged infant to 6 in this period anywhere within West Riding. I am trying to find three "missing" children of John PICK and Ann PICK nee HANSON, married St Peter Leeds 1795 and were known to be living in Bramham/Boston Spa in 1802.

There is no such thing as a Yorkshire FHS! Most counties do indeed have just one family history society but at the last count Yorkshire had 17 of them - or is it 19, I forget? The county is so vast that there are Yorkshire family history societies all over the place, many of them in the West Riding. Nor is there any such thing as a Yorkshire FHS West Riding burials CD. There is the National Burial Index 2nd edition which covers England and Wales, including more than 1 million entries from Yorkshire, and some Yorkshire societies have their own burial records which they have transcribed and put onto fiche or CD. If your ancestors came from Leeds they would come under the Yorkshire Archaeological Society's family history and population section, so why don't you look at their website and see what is available? Use Google sensibly - that is, or should be, always the first starting point, rather than asking vague questions here. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: 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."
