Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Nelson c1910 Harrogate
« on: Sunday 19 June 22 10:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi David

Please excuse my very late reply, the email from rootschat was lost in a pile of emails I received around that time. I was really sad to hear about Auntie Lena, she was always so happy and I loved seeing her out and about on her bike going to the shops bargain hunting, she was a lovely lady and I once had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with her  talking about the Nelson family and scanning her old family photos to save for Terrys side of the family, I've found a lot more info on the Nelson's since my original post, I'll send you a message, don't like putting too much on public domain.

Regards
Julie

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: George Taylor 1799 Stainland/Soyland

Hi Rosie

I think there could be a problem with OCR on this inscription it seems like several inscriptions are added together as there is even a reference to the Guinness Book of Records??? If George was 35 and 6 months not 36 and 5 months then it's likely his father is Joseph Taylor of Jagger Green who had a son George bapt St Andrews Stainland 9 Dec 1799, Joseph had another son Thomas bapt 23 April 1797  St Andrews Stainland, normally this would be a coincidence but Thomas and his wife Sally had a daughter Marianne/Mary Anne bapt 26 Dec 1824 the entry above on the same day is for Mary Anne daughter of George and Alice.

Hi Rosie

Had a look on their website it costs £10 to buy the relevant cd after searching George's inscription, I can't see a way to ask for more information without subscribing for a membership and paying for the cd unfortunately.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / George Taylor 1799 Stainland/Soyland
« on: Friday 04 June 21 16:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Whilst looking on FindMyPast I've come across a very strange flatstone inscription at Stones Methodist Chapel Soyland for my ancestor George Taylor of Soyland born 1799 died July 1835 aged 36 years and 5 months husband of Alice Taylor who died in 1864. I have never found a birth for George, his birth should be early 1799 the nearest I can find is George born to Joseph in Stainland bapt Dec 1799 St Andrew Stainland, which would seem a long time to leave from birth to bapt. There is also a reference to Nanny Wild buried 1870 aged 83 and Sarah Crawshaw, I've no idea who they are, never come across them in my research, has the person transcribing added several separate stones as one inscription I am very confused

Hi Seaweed and Hugh

Sorry for the delay in replying. Many thanks for your replies, the documents were Form sb36 (the one in my original post, which I downloaded from ancestry when it was free at the weekend) the other ones I have are ADM 171/125 and z/4084 but somehow I had missed the DA 6096 records

Armed Forces / Help needed with Grandfather's Merchant Navy record

Can anyone decipher the details on this document, I've avoided posting any personal details about Robert Bonallie (who died in 1926) so hopefully there isn't any copyright issues, any help would be appreciated

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the info Dad served 1943-1947, he was posted to Fort George for his training before going to Ireland then onto Europe if I remember correctly, he didn't talk a lot about the war too many bad memories, he stayed behind to help with the relief effort.
