My current research is for a man named John HUDSON who was a publican in the parish of Chester Le Street in Co. Durham. I was lucky that he baptised 3 children during the Barrington period (1798 – 1812 or so). The 3 entries recorded that John was native of 1) Yorkshire 2) Eryholme and 3) Aireyholme. So off to GENUKI where I find, to my dismay, that Eryholme and Aireyholme are 2 distinct places quite a distance apart. Can anyone suggest a way to help me discover which one was John’s birthplace. Thanks, Irene

Hi Janet The value of the estate was at first valued at the lower figure and then more assets came to light, perhaps a house(s) or savings in a bank account(s) that were unknown previously Yes from the looks of it he died at the Cricket ground The death certificate would tell you or look in the newspapers as that is likely to be reported on As Herbert appears to be a Worsted Spinners Clerk in 1901 & 1911 he was either very frugal or perhaps came into money himself?

1911 census is available for a limited time.... Plus... could I ask a favour if someone has access to Find My Past? I’m researching a friend’s family history – could anyone see if they can find William Robert Hodson with wife Ann and children Alfred (b 1842), William Henry (b 1840), George Flemming (b 1844) and Frederick Edwin – in 1850 they were living at 2 Leather Lane, Holborn and Robert was a shopman but I can’t seem to find them on Ancestry. I’m interested to know where William and Ann were born to see if I can take the family any further back. Plus if anyone can find William Henry in any census other than 1911 where I have him in Salford, I’d be grateful – he seems to vanish from the records after being baptised! thanks!

Well, now I fell silly, but thank you very much. I have been using Trove for a while, but that is Australian papers only. I didn't know of a way to access overseas papers. I will get myself subscribed and follow your advice. That's great! I particularly want to get hold of Bridlington papers like the Bridlington Free Press and The Chronicle. They don't appear at this stage on the British Newspaper Archive, which I have been using. I want to pursue some notices re my grandfather and further back. Yvonne was good enough to send me something before I joined Yorksgen, but I don't like to impose on people if there is a way to do it myself. I shall have a go. Good on you, Nivard!

(If you do a catalogue search at the bottom of each record is a link to order copies online.

Given the early date this is unlikely to be William, father of Robert, but worth keeping an eye on in case there's a connection.   Armed with the knowledge that William was a yeoman, I searched the Halifax parish registers and found a likely marriage on 27th May 1752:   William Woodhead of Shelf, husbandman and Grace Howorth of Hipperholme, spinster.

My relative, a German emigrant, Augustus Muller who married an English woman, Susannah Roots was a chemist and raised his three sons to be chemists. I understand the eldest son was in school away from the family. Also, I believe the father was involved with the wool or cotton industry because his sons made soap in the United States.
