Hi Peter......my 2xgrandfather, John Ogden, lived in Barnsley and when he died he left some "cottages" Smithies in his will in 1859.

Hi, I notice that a proportion of these do not link to images, quite a number in the 1760 - 1800 period. I have had a very frustrating and totally fruitless discussion with Ancestry support regarding the reasons for this, and whether they will be included at some further stage.

Hi Folks I've been looking (of course) at the wonderful West Riding Quarter Sessions records which have appeared on Ancestry (bliss!!) and have found one from 1720 which relates to my ancestress Dinah Nelson.

Breaking and entering and the trampling (with feet) on fields of crops . Consuming something . Breaking something? and throwing it in the water . Taking something and carrying it away There are several words that I just can't fathom, but what I really want an opinion on is - was it John Turner who trampled on Dinah's land, OR was it Dinah who trampled on John Turner's, land?
