Hi Patty, Thanks for replying.Yes I have and the enquirer has. There are heaps and heaps of references for him in Trove and it is a great newspaper as you say, with lots of overseas references as well and free. I offered to put her query over the yorksgen list and she was happy for me to do so. I was hoping we may come across another photo.

Edie, you may have done this already. Have you looked through Trove? That's the Australian database, a bit like the British Newspaper Archive, but FREE! You can search anyway, but it's easy to register - it only requires an email address and a password. I had a quick look in the Photos section without luck. There could be lots of references in the digitised newspapers, though, which is why I am writing, as I haven't got the time just at present to search them, and you might already have done that job. Just in case, the website is http://trove.nla.gov.au/ . You can also reach it simply by googling Trove.

Published in the Comox Valley Record - 12 Jan 2016 - Photo with obit Crosier (Pollard) , Elizabeth MarySunday, 03 Jan 2016 Comox Valley Record Courtenay “United They Stand” Where one goes, the other follows. On January 3, 2016, Mary peacefully passed away in the company of family and staff at the Comox Valley Senior Centre. She joins her husband of 62 years, Arnold Crosier, who predeceased her June 16, 2015.Mary, the oldest of three sisters, was born in Randwick, York, England to loving parents Evelyn (Cann) and Arthur Pollard. While the country recovered from the war years, Mary completed her teaching credentials, often trying out new ideas on her sisters, Ruth, Anne and Judith. She introduced them to well-known children classics of the time, Wind in the Willows, Peter Pan and Edward Lear’s Nonsense Poems. Mary’s passion of literature, history, geography and her appreciation of art, design, fashion and theatre continually grew and blossomed within her.After meeting her life partner, Arnold, they began to fulfil their dreams by embarking on an amazing adventure to Canada. They arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba and married January 24, 1952 and began a business and a family. Mary’s daughters Jane (Terry) Swintak and Sara (Garth) Grant will miss her dearly. She was the world’s greatest mother and strongly united with Arnold in parenting. She was a creative and talented homemaker, hostess and teacher. Mary’s kindness and generosity radiated. For many years, she proudly supported the Rotarians as a member of the Inner Wheel Club, was a Brownie and Guide leader and volunteered at the St. Boniface Hospital in the gift shop. Mary was a loving and giving woman and supported many local charities.In 1980 Mary and Arnold made another monumental decision and moved to British Columbia leaving family in Winnipeg. Business continued in Vancouver until 1986 when they were drawn to retire in Qualicum Beach. Mary and Arnold enjoyed 30 years living together on “The Island” in “Paradise”. They moved often and enjoyed the beauty and the people of Qualicum Beach, Nanaimo, Comox and Courtenay.Along with her two daughters, Jane and Sara, she also leaves behind granddaughters Candace and Rhonda, grandsons Thomas and Ian and 5 great grandchildren.Mary has lived a rich and full life. Family would like to thank friends and neighbours, Dr. James Ingrey and Crown Isle Clinic staff, Comox Valley Senior Village staff, OmniCare (Arlene, Wendy and Anne) CV Hospice Society (Brenda) and all VIHA staff for the care and kindness shown to Mary and in support of her two daughters.As Mary wished, family will celebrate her life quietly in their own time. Mary and Arnold are together again. “United They Stand”. Family was happy to entrust all arrangements to Comox Valley Funeral Home.

She has to go down to Sydney to take photo of the photos as they want $22 EACH for a copy to be sent even by email...well worth the trip down I'd say.I might add here that the family were not Sydney folks....far north coast of NSW...so how they got there we don't know yet.Somewhere along the line she has also found 4 daughters no one knew existed...more research to be done on that. So if you hear a little voice saying do this or that for heaven's sake listen to it....you just never know what you might find in the oddest of places. Good old Google again. I can't help wondering why people do only follow direct lines. I think, potentially, they could be missing out on a lot. Hope it gives you all some encouragement for the New Year.

Hi everyone.  Whilst this isn't Yorkshire related it might encourage us all to keep digging.My friend Carol, found herself with this niggling desire to take a peripheral line in her research.  Her husband's grandfather, Thomas EVANS has been a thorn in her side for years.  He came to Australia, got some land grants, etc married, had several children and died. She can't find where he was born or when as places and dates changed on various records and many records she needs have not survived.  Australia doesn't have heaps of census records so it was extremely difficult for her to find much about him...Anyway he died, wife remarried, that husband died she remarried again....Carol has been following that line.

Hi Deb If I have the right area In 1911 the Star Inn (or Hotel) was enumerated as between numbers 42 & 44 High street (Mrs Catherine CASSIDY) Also in 1911 is a Horse & Jockey Hotel at 60 High street (CONNELL) Also from the 1911 at number 125 High street is a Park Hotel, public house (Mrs H DALTON) So unless there has been a renumbering exercise and a large coincidence, the Star Inn is not the same building as the Park Hotel at 125 High street Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 09/01/2016 11:19, Deb Walker via wrote: > Hi Folks > > > > I am trying to resolve a query for a friend whose ancestor ran The Star Inn, > High Street Westtown Dewsbury in the 1860s.

The building is still there. There is some kind of nursery/refuge there now. Think it shut down as a pub 3-4 years back, like the majority of the pubs in Dewsbury. Back in the 70's there were still hundreds of them around here. They are mostly Islamic Centers or Refuges now :-( David.

Hi Folks I am trying to resolve a query for a friend whose ancestor ran The Star Inn, High Street Westtown Dewsbury in the 1860s. I have identified where the pub was but thought it no longer existed, however someone has suggested that the Park Hotel, 125 High Street, Westtown, Dewsbury is the same pub but with a new name. Does anyone on here have any local knowledge of the Daw Green/ Westtown area who could clarify this. I Know the Star Inn still existed in 1952 when it was auctioned. Thanks Deb

Doug, Unfortunately, the extracts of personal names from wills on my site don't yet have many for the early 17c, but if you do a search at http://www.davekinggenealogy.co.uk/ for Appleton, there may be some of interest to you Dave > On 9 Jan 2016, at 01:53, Doug via <yorksgen@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > PRs prior to 1627 seem to be missing.

PRs prior to 1627 seem to be missing. Sometime between 1600 and 1630 there appears to be at least four possible family heads. They are William (well documented), Robert, John, and James(appears to be documented). However, the key to all the APPLETONS that seem to be moving in between the same places and in some cases acting as if they were related, is who are their parents and are they related?? Does any one have any documentation to prove it one way or another. Hints could be in wills or other documents one might have. It would be nice to solve this question...
