Hello Margaret - does your Beatrice Stead have any connection to a Joseph Stead who married Louisa Berry? I have their daughter Florence Amy Stead born 1882 in Leeds, died September 1973 who married Louis Pratt in 1904. She's very elusive in her activities after Louis died in 1947. and I can't find her daughter Gladys who was born in 1905. Just a chance, regards, Carol from New South Wales, Australia. -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Cambridge via Sent: Monday, April 11, 2016 12:57 AM To: Nivard Ovington ; yorksgen@rootsweb.com Subject: [YORKSGEN] Walton House Municipal Hostel, Manchester Hi Nivard, I guess it was a men's hostel as 99% of the people there are elderly men.

Hi Bill If the previous query re: St Peters Leeds was your family then it is possible that Jjon was also bap there. Unfortunately the register pre 1572 went missing many years ago.

I know this isn't a Yorkshire question but wonder if anyone is familiar with or has any info about the above subject. I found my grandmother's sister in Walton House Municipal Hostel in the 1939 Register. She was a single 56 year old woman who is recorded as a Grocery shop assistant. Would this be a place she may stay for a long period or was it temporary. Thanks for any info. I have checked on line but can't find much about it.

On the IGI at familysearch.org site, it only lists Edmond as being the father of Willm Snipe, 22 Nov 1616 Batch number P00962-1. there is a Wm Snipe who was fathering children either side of that date. No William for him on the 22 April 1616 though. Really only a handful of Snipe for Leeds using that batch number. Willm is abbreviated most entries. Yes the problem for those really early ones mothers names were not mentioned, unless a spinster birth. There may be exceptions though.

Hi List I live in New South Wales Australia and last week ordered a 1973 Death Certificate from the GRO using all of the necessary numbers. As you've advised the cost was 9 Pounds, 25 pence including postage and this converted to A$17.40 using a credit card with the bank charging 0.52 cents international transaction fee. The certificate should be here sometime next week.

The cheapest way is to purchase direct from the registration service at GRO.gov.uk. You will need the full reference including year, quarter, registration district, volume and page number for the £9.25 service which includes postage worldwide.

That sounds like two different babies to me Bill, maybe Edmund and Samuel were brothers having their children baptised same day at St Johns.
