Roy.   Thank you very much for your helpful email.   Yes I have checked all the online resources and I've no idea as to the religion the Pennington family followed but when as Jane Garbutt she married G-G Grandpa Joseph Hepworth in 1840 it was in Howden parish church.Having taken a second look at the certificate I now see that her place of residence was Bilton! She did have a daughter Hannah to her first husband who was later married in York but I have been unable to tie down the right certificate from GRO. So I am now stuck with the surnames Garbutt and Pennington, hence my need for some expert help.   Regards.   Adrian.   ________________________________ From: "roy.stockdill@btinternet.com" <roy.stockdill@btinternet.com> To: "Yorksgen@rootsweb.com" <Yorksgen@rootsweb.com>; ADRIAN GARDNER1 <adriangardner1@btinternet.com> Sent: Thursday, 21 June 2012, 12:50 Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] Jane HEPWORH formerly GARBUTT nee PENNINGTON.

It would help if you had some idea as to what religion her family followed, since she may not necessarily have been christened in the Church of England, also if you told us what you had done already to save duplication of effort. You might also tell us under what name she was born - I presume it was Pennington. The National Index of Parish Registers for the East Riding (published by the Society of Genealogists) lists under Howden three Anglican churches, a Roman Catholic one and 14 Nonconformist chapels, though many of the latter were not open at the appropriate time. If you e-mail me direct I will tell you where the records are because they are not all in the same place. The original registers of Howden St Peter's parish church are in the East Riding Archives at Beverley with the bishop's transcripts at the Borthwick Institute in York. As a professional researcher, I would have taken it on myself but I live in Hertfordshire a long way from Yorkshire, so am not able to visit record offices up there. If you buy one of the commercial family history magazines you will find that they often carry ads for researchers in Yorkshire. There are other professional researchers on this list who may volunteer their services. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
