It would literally translate as 'but by another as is asserted'.

Published in The Times Colonist from Jan. 29 to Jan. 30, 2016 - Photo with Obit BrianM.London Obituary Brian - Charismatic, spirited and inspiring. Born March 24, 1936 in Leeds, England. Brian died on December 27, 2015 in Victoria, BC, with family by his side. Survived by his son John (Wendy), daughter Jane, and grandchildren Julie and Miles. Predeceased by his beloved Dad, John. Brian held a lifelong passion for mountaineering, fishing, airplanes, sports cars and motorcycles. He loved being a grandparent, and felt privileged being a husband, parent and British soldier. Brian was a skilled electrician, gifted yoga teacher and gregarious and intellectual storyteller. Brian's wanderlust and curiosity for life was evident by those around him, and he was proud to bring his family to Canada from glorious England. He appreciated art, poetry and the infinite beauty of Mt. Rainier. Brian approached dying the same way he approached living: with ferocity, love, gratitude, honour, strength, courage and bravery. Brian, your time here on earth touched so many and your fire will burn bright forever. In lieu of flowers, please enjoy nature in a way that you know Brian would have enjoyed it.

Hi Marg Is that Castle Hill in Huddersfield - which is 10 miles away or was there a Castle Hill in Dewsbury? You may have already tried this but if it's Huddersfield then perhaps they switched to a closer church as new ones were built - Mirfield, Almondbury or maybe became Methodists? My Weldrakes did that - started with Birstall but then switched to Mirfield, Battyeford and non conformist churches. If it's Dewsbury then that's just three miles but even so they may have found a closer church. Or did they move over to Rothwell with the family which is how Hannah met and married William? The canal started in that area 1799, my Weldrakes were travelling up to York and I think Rothwell was on the canal. Did you trace what happened to Hannah's brothers and sisters? Did they stay local or move around? Just some thoughts, hope they help best wishes Jane -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Cambridge via Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2016 7:07 PM To: yorksgen-l@rootsweb.com Subject: [YORKSGEN] STEPHENSON of Birstall I have been stuck on my STEPHENSON family forever.

Marg, Seems a little strange to me that there was 6 years between their marriage in 1795 and the baptism of Frances in 1801. The space of time between all the other children was 2 yrs. Perhaps another baby between 1795 and 1801? What do you think? Just a thought.

Published in Victoria Times Colonist from Jan. 22 to Jan. 23, 2016 - Photo with obit WilliamHenryCook Obituary COOK, William Henry Dad passed away peacefully on 10th January from a stroke. Predeceased by wife Laura and survived by son Christopher. He was born in Leppington, Yorkshire England on 19th June 1920. Yes he was a proud Yorkshire man. His ambition was to go to sea and that was what he did. He won a scholarship to a Nautical College, and then joined the British Merchant Navy as an officer apprentice. He went on to become a master of a tanker. During the Second World War Dad's ship was torpedoed and he and his fellow crew members spent a month in a life boat in the Southern Atlantic. He was mentioned in dispatches for bravery. In the early 1950s he was offered a shore job by the Alcan group of companies in the then British Guiana which later became Guyana, South America, where the family lived for the next 17 years. He was the manager of the shipping side, responsible for wharfs, a ferry service, stevedores, river dredging etc. While in Guyana he was made the honorary consul for Norway, he also advised the Government of Guyana on shipping matters. When he left Guyana, after being transferred to Montreal, he was made a Knight of Saint Olaf by the Government of Norway for service to the country. Dad was also presented with the Independence Medal by the Government of Guyana for his services to the country. In Montreal he became the Vice President of Saguenay Shipping, which was part of the Alcan group of companies. On his retirement he loved to garden. Later on he took up oil painting. He and mum would travel to England yearly to see the family. Thank you to Dr Schlatter, nurses; Kelly Cox and Leslee on 6th South VGH who took care of Dad. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. A memorial tea is being held for 19th June at Goward House between 2-4 p.m. Condolences may be offered to the family atwww.mccallbros.com. <http://www.mccallbros.com/> Close but not a native ................................... Published in The Times Colonist from Jan. 22 to Jan. 23, 2016- Photo with obit FrancisMorganTutte(May 25, 1923 - January 14, 2016) Frank was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Alfred Edward Tutte of Cork, Ireland, and Clara Morgan of Leeds, England, youngest of five children. In the 1920's the family moved to Vancouver where Frank grew up, and in 1940 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force Squadron 111 in Patricia Bay. In 1945 he transferred to the RCAF Reserve, and in 1946 joined Munday's Fine Shoes working 42 years as a prominent shoe salesman in Victoria. Retiring in 1988, he was active in the Juan de Fuca Senior Center and the Unitarian Church of Victoria. He is predeceased by Estelle Mary (nee Macdougall) in 2008. He is lovingly survived by daughter Jean-Ann (Paul), granddaughters Julie (Ron), Peryl (Joe), Jade (Don), 6 great-grandchildren, niece Elva of Chilliwack, and nephew John of 100 Mile House. He passed away peacefully in Victoria, British Columbia at 92 years of age. A private family gathering was held in Victoria and there will be a memorial service later in the year at 70 Mile House. In lieu of flowers donations to your local Food Bank would be appreciated. Cards and notes can be sent to PO Box 2797, Sidney BC, V8L 5V9.

Hi everyone After some good news, now some not so good. Further to my previous post regarding 1939 register on FMP I've just read that FMP are increasing the cost of new subscriptions by 20% on 16th Feb 2016 to coincide with its release, but existing subscribers will be offered their next renewal at today's price (only for those on an annual package). So, if you have a monthly package or no subscription and you want to beat the price increase, it will be worth considering upgrading to an annual package before 16th February. You can read more about it here: http://www.irishgenealogynews.com/2016/01/findmypast-to-increase-costs-of.html Lin Duke List Administrator

Hi Listers Can anyone advise me please whether there are any records in existence via which I can research Leeds Air Raid Wardens in the Second World War? I recently discovered on the 1939 Register that one of my ancestors was one. Many thanks. Howard Mais

Hi everyone Great news! Just seen this on Findmypast Facebook page: "We're pleased to announce that from 16th February, the 1939 Register will be made available to 12 month Britain and World subscribers as part of their existing packages. If you buy a Britain or World 12 month subscription from the 16th onward, the Register will be included for free" Further clarification was given as to whether those who already have subscriptions will have access: "12 months World and Britain subscribers will automatically have unlimited access to the 1939 Register from 16 February - it's the same for existing or new subscribers" Lin Duke List Administrator

Yes, that is most likely "my" Darwin Sweeney, as New Westminster is close to Newton. He would have left school a few years before 1962, so would be working by then... Sweeney is not a common name here. With a name like Darwin, thought he might be traceable, to connect with your Yorkshire family.
