Hi Louise, Perhaps the father's name on the certificate was a mistake.  I have had that happen before.  Maybe you should just bite the bullet and buy the certificate and see if the witnesses will give you a clue.  Or you could wait and see if it eventually shows up on Ancestry.

I have no idea where they could have married, and there only seems to be one possibility, which i have been told is not mine, not unless Williams father was not Richard but actually William, which i doubt since William was named after his grandad and i have Richard's birth cert, marriage cert and grave stone details, he was 100% Richard! I look forward to hearing from everyone. Kind regards Louise Wortley On 18 Feb 2012, at 08:01, west-riding-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > >  1.

I know Williams wife was Sarah Annie, but the family knew her as Annie. the 1901 Wednesbury and 1911 census show annie as born Tedbury Herefordshire. > > The 1911 shows they have been married 11 years so approx 1899, the only entry that matched was for Wortley West Riding for a Sarah Annie Smith. I presumed this was Leeds so applied and they told me they located the entry and the father was not Richard they put it was for e.g william? so is that an eg or were they giving me a hint. then the letter said that i should try Sheffield. > > On Free BMD it says Wortley became part of Sheffield in 1974, so that has nothing to do with 1899. I dont understand what the registry office are saying, are they saying there is an entry for sheffield and it must be mine and they couldnt find one for Leeds Wortley when they said they had? > > Im really confused what Wortley in Sheffield has to do with my family, it is hard enough trying to understand how it could even be Leeds Wortley when my family were from Sowerby Bridge and Manchester area. > > Is anyone able to run a search for me and tell me what they think? There is only one entry that matches either that or William who was definatelly william was not william. And is anyone able to find a birth for William approx 1872 Sowerby Bridge parents Richard and Ann Scott. > > I thought it would be easy with Parish records on Ancestry but i can not find anything. > > Kind regards > > Louise Wortley > > > > > > > On 11 Feb 2012, at 20:34, west-riding-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:11:13 +1100 > From: bill <nomads71@bigpond.com> > Subject: Re: [WRY] WEST-RIDING Digest, Vol 7, Issue 20 > To: west-riding@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <4F3EFAB1.2050805@bigpond.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Hi Louise > William Born 1872 at WARLEY which is close to Sowerby near Halifax > father Richard mother Ann both born in Lanc's This is from the 1881 census. > can send you image of line. >                                                  Bill >                                                  Avoca Beach >                                                  Nsw > > > ------------------------------ > > To contact the WEST-RIDING list administrator, send an email to > WEST-RIDING-admin@rootsweb.com. > > To post a message to the WEST-RIDING mailing list, send an email to WEST-RIDING@rootsweb.com. > > __________________________________________________________ > 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 > email with no additional text. > > > End of WEST-RIDING Digest, Vol 7, Issue 21 > ****************************************** Some useful websites - FREECEN - http://www.freecen.org.uk/ FREEBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ FREEREG - http://www.freereg.org.uk/ Want to know where a place in Yorkshire is - Try Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ ------------------------------- 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
