Hi Margaret We had in our family a Thomas SHEPHERDSON who had married an Ursula SHEPHERDSON, a cousin of his.  We knew that there was a child baptised and buried shortly after that.  We also knew that when Thomas died, he left a will and no wife was mentioned.  So did she die or what happened to her?  Well, we found a marriage of an Ursula SHEPHERDSON a few years later to someone else.  Could that have been her?  We always thought it was likely her, with such an uncommon first and last name.  But then trolling thru the newspapers came across this gem: Saturday April 30, 1877Yorkshire In The Last CenturyOld History Retold July 22"Whereas Urslay Shepherdson, wife of Thomas Shepherdson, of Acklam, hath eloped from her said husband, This is therefore to caution the public against harbouring or giving any credit to the said Urslay Shepherdson, as her said husband will not pay any debts she may contract.  Witness my hand this 22nd day of July, 1777.  Thomas Shepherdson" This was originally posted in the newspaper in 1777 but a reflection on old history reprinted this in 1877.  So by chance of it being retold 100 years later, we found our answer.  She left Thomas for another man.

They are still published here in the Comox Valley papers quite often in the Personal's, same with requests for out standing debts by the executor of an estate.

I've been doing some research into the BARNBY family of York, initially using Find My Past's collection of York Parish Registers, and have found that in many cases it is the Bishop's Transcript images and their FMP transcriptions that have been added to the site, when the Parish Registers will almost certainly contain more information. I first realised this when I cross-checked on Ancestry for the baptism of Samuel BARNBY, on 09 August 1785 at St Sampson's, and found two transcription entries. The first, from a collection entitled "England, Select Births and Christenings 1538-1975" gave his birth and baptism dates plus his father's fore- and surname, and his mother's forename. This information is identical to that on FMP. The second, from a collection entitled "England & Wales Christening Records 1530-1906" gave the same information, plus his mother's maiden name, and the names of both paternal grandfathers. The latter is obviously invaluable when trying to confirm that you have found the correct ancestors for someone. I'm assuming that this is a transcription of the PR, so I now need to find and check a microfilm or digital copy of the original register. In other instances, I've found that the transcription omits vital information that is clearly visible on the original register image. It's obvious, but I'd recommend always to check the original Parish Register, if it still exists, rather than relying on transcriptions or BTs, both of which are prone to transcription errors or just omitting information, as the process of producing an Ancestry or FMP transcription involves a number of stages, at any of which errors/omissions can be introduced: 1. The clergyman writes information in the Parish Register, relying upon often illiterate parents, and sometimes without the diligence that might be expected 2. At the year end, he or another parish officer has the boring, administrative job of compiling the Bishop's Transcripts, so he may decide to copy just the minimum information needed, without necessarily being too bothered about accuracy, and also by possibly having to interpret someone else's scrawled handwriting 3. Years later, another person tries to read the BT (more scrawled handwriting, and possibly a microfilm copy of dubious quality!), and copy the information into a format suitable for being printed. This may be typed, or be yet another manuscript 4. The typesetter at the printers prepares the blocks ready for printing, and a proof of this is checked for accuracy, but maybe by yet another person 5. Ancestry, FMP etc. type their transcript (or maybe use an Optical Character Recognition program) into a computer to put online, possibly using the PR or BT, but possibly instead using the printed transcript 6. This information is put online to be lapped up by a sometimes un-sceptical audience Someone could probably work out the statistical probability of the information at step 6 being identical to that at step 1, but I bet it is low enough not to use it as the basis for, potentially, years of wasted effort researching the wrong family, for wont of reading the original parish registers. Don't get me wrong, I'm a great fan of the online information provided by Ancestry, FMP etc., as it saves a lot of time and effort if used correctly. But, as was said of the IGI years ago, it is best used as a finding aid, and cannot be relied upon to be accurate.

Hi Margaret Such notices were commonplace It had nothing to do with a divorce, it was purely to offset the liability of debts run up by a woman, whose husband would be liable for them If a bill was presented after the time of publication it could rightly be returned as not the husbands liability Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 26/01/2015 09:10, Margaret Harrison via wrote: > I have come across in a newspaper of 1881 a notice "Thomas Foster, farmer > of Tholthorpe, will not be responsible for the debts of his wife, Dorothy, > however caused, after this date". > > The family subsequently broke up. > Was this regarded as a quasi legal document and was the publication of such > a notice usually regarded as a de facto divorce ? > > Was the notice posted because the wife had usually run up debts or because > she had left with another man?

Margaret I don't think there was anything unusual in that kind of notice. Such notices even appeared in the 20th century more in the form of a personal advert but how effective they were I have no idea. It will all depend on people reading the advert and then who reads the paper.

I have come across in a newspaper of 1881 a notice "Thomas Foster, farmer of Tholthorpe, will not be responsible for the debts of his wife, Dorothy, however caused, after this date". The family subsequently broke up. Was this regarded as a quasi legal document and was the publication of such a notice usually regarded as a de facto divorce ?

Dear Chris I have the CD of Selby Abbey registers and the Dade bit covers the whole period from June 1777 to 1812. I think Selby were one of the few that kept it up as everyone else got fed up long before. I will look at Brayton registers for you on Tuesday as we have them in the York study centre.
