Hi, My gem from 2013 was actually meeting in York two first cousins once removed, they were from my Father's family whom we hadn't known. However, my best gems come from the people I meet at the Yorksgen holidays, they are very friendly and helpful. Which reminds me can you please put me down, tentatively, for the two weeks next year, I really missed all of you this year? Dave will be walking in Scotland for the whole of August so the date is really convenient for me. Thanks Lorna -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 1/12/14, CHRISTINE WILLOTT via <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: [YORKSGEN] gems in archives To: [email protected] Received: Monday, 1 December, 2014, 9:29 PM Hi I need to encourage as many of you as possible to come to the Yorksgen holiday in August for some if not all the time so I thought I would start a thread (I hope) on gems to be found in archives. Here is my first one. I had been told my a cousin that a great uncle was a gardener possibly at Newby Hall near Ripon. Some years ago I contacted Newby Hall and found that their archive was lodged at WYAS Leeds. One Yorksgen holiday I took myself off there. On going through their catalogue I found the gardener's notebook. Lo and behold my Stephen FOSTER had been a gardener there. He had kept the records. I found weekly entries for several years relating to the work done in the garden, the weather conditions and the wages paid to the gardeners. The date was in the run up to WW1. They started with 4 gardeners and by 1914 there were 3. In the years that I saw Stephen never had a pay rise. As he was paid the most, I presume he was head gardener. This level of info is unlikely to go online. It was great getting to read it and to touch the notebook that Stephen himself had kept. My next objective is to visit the actual gardens. Has anyone else got any gems? If anyone is interested in coming to the holiday, please contact me not the list.

Hi On 1861 census for skipton my gr.grandmother, Elizabeth Crump is a schoolmistress and on her marriage certificate her witness is Hannah Kipling who ran a private school 24 Otley Street, Skipton. I am making an assumption that my gr.grandmother was a teacher there. Would there be a record for private schools and if so does anyone know where I could search? Thank you for any help Jean Skinner Ottawa, Canada

Ruth The closest I can get is that your medal is a Silver Medal Fob - and you can see one very like it (also dated 1907) on the following site. https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/195546382/vintage-sterling-silver-medal-watc h-fob?ref=market You don't say how you obtained the medal and if this would give any clues as to its provenance? Herbert Bushell and Son Limited were still in operation as Medallists in 1931 (Kelly's Directory) at 32 Nothampton Street, Birmingham. I wonder how long they remained in business and whether there are any company records. It is likely that they did a run of medals for MAGC over a period of ?? years. Another option for the initial M is Midland(s) ?? Leonie Fretwell Burra SA [email protected]

I think you mean Golf Club Checking Google there are 5 golf clubs of that name. Mind you prompting those links only leads to hotels. Have you tried contacting the golf club direct. May be you have which is why you said it was founded much later. It is unfortunate the web site didn't give any history details.

Hi Graham, If you type police into the search box for the North Yorkshire Archives in Northallerton you get 240 hits. http://archives.northyorks.gov.uk/DServe/dserve.exe Chris ----Original message---- >From : [email protected] Date : 27/11/2014 - 13:01 (GMTST) To : [email protected] Subject : [YORKSGEN] NRY Police Records Following on from the recent discussions around police records, I would be grateful for advice on where records for the North Riding would be located. I had a quick look on internet and the national archives mention some information for the North Riding Constabulary is held at the Ripon Museums Trust and so I will contact them shortly. My interest is in relation to my grandfather who worked at Leyburn, Easingwold and Saltburn amongst other places from the 1940s onwards.

I have found that 4 members of the same family, the Smith's of Harome, mother Hannah 63yrs and 3 sons aged 20-23yrs died within a few days of each other in July / August 1813. Does anyone know if there was a widespread epidemic in the Harome / Helmsley area at that time or is it more likely to be due to an unfortunate occurance. Margaret Harrison
