As the list seems to be quiet at the moment I thought that I would post a query. The 1911 Census for Whitworth's Building, Rotherham gives the following details George Davis, 27, coal miner, born Normanton Yorkshire Susannah, wife, 24, born Darfield Susannah, daughter, 3, born Thurnscoe Florence May, daughter, 2, born Thurnscoe Susan Smith, Mother in law, married, 63, born Clay Hills Shropshire Emily Turton, adopted daughter, single, 19, born Jump Yorkshire William Hughes, boarder, 61, colliery labourer, born Black Heath, Staffordshire. I am trying to find the connection between Emily Turton and Susan Smith (nee Marston) to see if there is a blood relationship or whether it was just that Susan was a friend who adopted Emily and her sister Florrie (legally or not). In 1901 Emily and Florrie are with their father Thomas Turton, who is a widower. I've checked their mother's maiden name which is Charlesworth. Am a clutching at straws trying to find a connection or is it more likely, as I am thinking, that Susan took in the child of a friend and 'adopted' her. Thank you. June

To Lin and all my friends on Yorksgen (that's all of you): It is now 11 minutes into Boxing Day here, but would still like to pass on my best wishes for a very Merry Christmasand an extremely Happy and fruitful New Year. I'm about to leave for a couple of days, but will be posting my "Brick Wall" in 2015 :-) Best wishes to everyone, PamIn sunny Queensland, where it may be midnight but it's still b***dy hot !! > From: [email protected] > Subject: YORKSGEN Digest, Vol 9, Issue 348 > To: [email protected] > Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2014 01:01:25 -0700 > > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to our List Administrator and all subscribers to this wonderful list.

Best wishes to you Lin and to all members for a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Sue Herrington in Notts -----Original Message----- From: Lin via Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 4:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [YORKSGEN] Administration - Seasons Greetings Hello all, The list has been very quiet (no messages since December 14) no doubt due to preparations for the holidays. Hopefully with the coming New Year messages will increase. The weather should be better, the days will be getting longer and perhaps we will have a bit more time to get out and about and do more research or just generally get our family history in order. My New Year's resolution is to get all our family photos labelled properly - especially those which are just labelled 'Mum' or 'Gran'. I hope I succeed but I can (and do) get easily sidetracked when I find another missing piece of the jigsaw or another brick wall is knocked down. Please take time in the New Year to post your own brick walls to the list - you never know they may come tumbling down. I hope you all have a good Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year.

Hi Hartshead-cum-Clifton one place study is online www.hartshead.org.uk Steve

I see there are a few articles in the papers about Tuesday 16th December being the centenary of the bombardment of Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool by the German Navy in WWI. Martin Briscoe Fort William [email protected]

Please could anyone help me find the birth and marriage of Mary Mauleverer, supposedly daughter of Bellingham Mauleverer and Elizabeth Nicolson The Mauleverer's could be from of Ingby Arncliffe. She would have been born about 1700 to 1720. Bellingham was a clergyman in Ireland and son in law to the Bishop of Derry William Nicolson.

Published in Victoria Times Colonist from Dec. 13 to Dec. 14, 2014 - Photo with Obit Right Reverend Robert Cecil Crawley Obituary <http://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/timescolonist/robert-cecil-crawley-condolences/173456056?&nocache=true&cid=addentry&sign=0> CRAWLEY, The Right Reverend Robert Cecil Of Victoria, B.C. Passed away peacefully on Dec 9th, 2014 at Broadmead Lodge. Robert is survived by his wife, Bobbi of 66 years; daughters, Nikki (Toby) Nilsson and Christine; son, Doug (Beth); grandsons, Trevor, Tim, Ryan Faught and granddaughter, Yvanne Faught. Originally from England (Sheffield and Weymouth) Robert came to Canada in WW2 <http://www.legacy.com/memorial-sites/ww2/?personid=173456056&affiliateID=3129> to serve as a flight instructor with the RCAF in Neepawa, Manitoba. After the war he married Bobbi in 1948 and moved to Edmonton where he worked in the construction industry. He formed his own company, (Crawley and Mohr) in 1952 in Jasper, Alberta which helped build infrastructure and housing to the town in its early years. Robert left his company behind in 1963 having received a calling to the ministry of the Anglican Church of Canada. His first posting as a deacon was to Burns Lake, BC in 1965 serving many parishes in remote communities of the area. Robert was ordained a priest in 1966 and ministered to the parish of Ladysmith from 1967-1972. He then transferred to Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria and served as priest there until 1982. Robert then joined the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada where he was instrumental in helping build the traditional Anglican church worldwide. He was ordained a bishop in 1986 and will be remembered for his timeless work for and dedication to the Anglican Catholic Church. Robert loved to fish, hunt and garden. During his spare time in Jasper as a young man he would fish the many lakes and rivers in the area. In the fall there was always a moose hanging in the attic for the family food supply. Family vacations to Long Beach on Vancouver Island are fondly remembered. His vegetable garden was always an adventure to walk through with an assortment of plants in neat rows and random "surprise" locations. Robert spent the last 4 years under the wonderful care provided by the staff at Broadmead Lodge to whom the family is most thankful. Robert will be deeply missed by his family and friends. A Requiem Mass and funeral service will be held at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Evangelist, 990 Falmouth Road, Victoria on Wednesday, December 17th, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. No relation, passed for list info only --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Hi Joan Whilst in Meltham today I took a run along Sunny Bank Road. There are no, what might be described as older buildings in a terrace. The whole area has been redeveloped around the one time mill complex and it is difficult to tell the difference between old stone that might have been cleaned and new build in the style of the older buildings. Many of the original mill, buildings have had the stone cleaned and now contain apartments. It is possible that your No 58 may have been a cottage in one of the mill complexes and is still there but not obvious. For what it is worth, my opinion is that you have the correct Sunny Bank Road but recent modernisation makes it difficult to be certain just which is/was the property of interest.   Regards Roger Family History Research: GILL, BERRY, CHARLESWORTH, ROBINSON and many others in the Holme Valley, south of Huddersfield. >________________________________ > >Subject: [YORKSGEN] Sunny Bank Photo > >Hi list I have a photograph of Sunny Bank Meltham taken 2001, from a >yourksgen lister at that time. >no 58 Sunny Bank was the  dwelling of Percy and Hannah Lunn in the 1930s so >its included in my family history.

On John Palmer's www.wirksworth.org website is a section showing photographs of Alderwasley and Wirksworth, taken by Alice Hurt between 1845 and 1860. Amongst these very early photographs is one of Ann Walker, nee Milbourn, who was my 3 x great grandmother: Photo 3 on <http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/B50ALICE.htm#2> http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/B50ALICE.htm#2 The photograph was scanned, with the publisher's permission, from a book and so the quality is not very good when the surrounding detail is cropped. Obviously, I'm anxious to obtain a good quality image, and this probably means finding the original photograph. The back story is that Alice HURT (1837-1894) was one of 15 children of Francis HURT (1803-1861) and Cicilia Emely, living at Alderwasley Hall. Derek Wain, in "The Hurts of Derbyshire", published by Landmark Publishing Ltd in 2002, ISBN 1-84306-042-6 writes: "Her chief hobby was photography.... About 1860 she put together an album of her photos taken since 1850. Roger Taylor of Bradford, formerly Curator of Photographs in the National Museum of film and Photography, saw and purchased an old photograph album in a second-hand bookshop in Sheffield. It was Alice Hurt's album..... " Can anyone provide information on the current whereabouts of this album, or of Derek Wain or Roger Taylor? I realise that it is now over 12 years since the album was re-discovered.

if you start reading at the top of the page: Up to 1834 A parliamentary report of 1777 recorded local workhouses in operation at Batley (for up to 40 inmates), Dewsbury (30), Gomersall (70), Heckmondwike (26), Livesidge [Liversedge] (40), Mirfield (30), and Ossett (80).

Lin Andy said he died in 1854 - I was pointing out that one of the possibilities he was given by an earlier responder to his question could be ruled because THAT man had died in 1857 so was not the Joseph that Andy was looking for.

Morning Lin You're observant this morning! I remembered it as 1854 when I first posted, but I checked the death cert. for the second post as I remembered where I'd hidden it! It is 1857 - the 1854 death is for the Cumberworth one! In 1841 they're at Combs, Thornhill 1270/8/47/2 - Joseph 55 weaver, Nancy 60, Miles 15, Joseph 6, Edward 2. Don't be misled by the children - they are *grandchildren*, sons of Sarah and William Tweedale, 2 of them are with Sarah/Sally in 1851 - I downloaded that image this morning but the FMP image has such poor contrast that's it's almost unreadable but there seem to be 2 children there (FMP has Christian names unknown as the page is torn) Thanks for looking, Andy.
