Hi Jill

If you want the list just send me a pm - might take a couple of days but its not a problem. None of them appear to be from North Newbold, however, but I have to say that the geography of Yorkshire is still a mystery to me.

Cheers

I know what you mean about the geography of Yorkshire - it's a mystery to me sometimes and I live there!!  Roll Eyes There's just so much of it!

I wonder if you'd mind looking in the Blacktoft PRs for a marriage of Sarah Leven(s)/Leaven(s) round about 1778/90? This is the Sarah who later married Thomas Tindale but - in her mother's will - she is described both as 'the wife of Thomas Tindale of Keyingham' and as 'the mother of John Stodart'.

I'm foxed!   Cry

Hi Jill

It is a bit of a mystery. In the index to the Blacktoft Register there is only one mention of a Sarah Leavens and that is a birth. Sarah daughter of Thomas Leavens of Staddlethorp, March 3 1764.

There are three Leavens marriages as follows:

John Hall of So. Cave and Joan Leavens 21/12/1758
Robert Leavens and Ann Horberry of Campsall 25/7/1765
John Haldenby and Ann Leavens 29/8/1775

Where is she?

Anything else, just give me a shout.

Cheers

Thanks Ruby.

We must be in the right neck of the woods because Sarah's mother's will also mentions her daughter Ann, wife of John Haldenby of Staddlethorpe. So, her sister married in Blacktoft - why didn't Sarah? they just have no thought for their descendants, these people, do they!!  Angry

Funnily enough, today I came across an MI for who I think must be Sarah's son John Stodart - the one mentioned in the will. It was in Keyingham (where Sarah & my Thomas Tindale lived) in 1858 and he was called John Tindall Stoddart - age 58 at death. So,he was born about 1800 - the mother's will was dated 1808, so some time between those dates lies Sarah & Thomas' marriage!! Grin

But if John was a child from a previous marriage, or an illegitimate child, why would he have his step father's name as a middle name - unless it was 'assumed' after the event, so to speak!!

I'm now even foxedier!!   Roll Eyes

Sorry to pratttle on.

Jill

Hi Jill

It can drive you nuts this family history - I've got a great grandmother who has covered her tracks so well that i just can't find her early life at all. On public records she has four different names and my grandad three - so I get fed up and do my husband's side instead - and what do I find -  the Eston Parish Register that reads like his own personal family history!

Anyway I have had a look for Keyingham registers and they aren't on ancestry - I have also had a look for Stoddart, Leavens and Tindale in the years you mentioned on the BIVRI and there is nothing that matches.

If you have any more leads to follow please let me know and if I can help I will.

Cheers

Hi Rubyrose,

Hope you don't think me cheeky to ask but could you have a look for:

Baptisms in Hoyland (not sure of the parish name but likely it's Hoyland Nether) between 1905 and 1925
William HALPIN
Catherine (Kitty) HALPIN b. 17 Dec
Joan HALPIN b. 9 Aug

Parents were Richard and Catherine Halpin

Can't find birth records anywhere for them, have been searching for months.

I'm not in any hurry at all and if you think I've got the cheek of the devil, well you're right, so I will understand if you don't want to do the lookups.

Best wishes,
Eagleye

Hi Eagleye

Sorry to be so long getting back - virgin broadband has been down since Wednesday and I haven't been able to get online.

Anyway, civil registration came into being in 1837 so you should be able to find your relatives on the Free BMD website www.freebmd.org.uk, although there are quite a lot of gaps between 1910 and 1929 but they do update regularly. BMD registers are the primary source for information about ancestors from 1837. Parish registers are invaluable once you get your ancestors to 1837 but you don't often find them online. Its a work in progress for some family history organisations.

I had a quick look at freebmd and there are three William Halpins and one Catherine born between 1900 and 1925, all born in Barnsley.

Hope this helps.

By the way, I don't think you are cheeky, we all need help to find our elusive ancestors and I am only sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Regards

Ruby

Thanks, I already have FreeBMD info, I think you've misunderstood.  I meant could you look on the parish registers for Barnsley on Ancestry.

Nevermind,

Hi Eagleeye

Who do you want me to look for in the Parish Registers? None of the people you have mentioned will be in those Registers only people born, married or died up to approx. 1837.

If you let me know who you are looking for and where they were born pre 1837 I'll have a look.

Regards

Hi Ruby,

OOOOhhhh, I see.  Didn't realise it was for up to 1837.

Are Irish parish records on there?  If so I'd be really grateful for a lookup for

Michael Halpin b. 1830 Tallow, Waterford, Ireland, father Thomas Halpin.

If not, thanks anyway and sorry about the misunderstanding.

Regards,
Eagleye

Ok, so I found the link and the lovely tantalising list of parishes available for searching. But that's as far as I got. Clicking on any of the parishes, the index or anything else just keeps coming up with an "Unknown" message,. It is telling me to choose the first letter of the last name but with no way of doing this. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade my subscription? Or am I just missing something really obvious?

Hi Jen

Just tried to duplicate what you are doing and what is happening and I think that Ancestry just haven't indexed some of the links. For instance, I know my ancestors are in Eston parish so I went into Eston parish register and then to the Index of Names and it then went to 'unknown'. When I clicked on unknown it just brought up the whole of the index so I've deduced from that that it isn't indexed yet.

If you know the name and the parish and the parish is in the list, try putting the surname and parish in the box on the first page - you should then get the images with the surname highlighted.

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you.

You know how it is when you do something then afterwards realise that you've been just a bit slow on the uptake. What Ancestry was trying to tell me was that I needed to download the necessary viewer for these images. Having been able to view censuses, I assumed I was ok for everything. But no.
So once I had done that small thing, I was able to get at the images and will no doubt be having a fine time with them from now on.

Regards,
