Yorkshire (West Riding) / Looking for old friend in Haworth

« on: Thursday 04 August 11 01:19 BST (UK) »

I am looking for an old school friend that I have lost touch with whose last known address was Haworth (*) her name is * (nee *) and her husband was * (presumably *) no second names known. I live in New Zealand and have looked in the British Telecom book with no success. It could be that they have moved house but I would love to get in touch with them again. Can anyone help please?

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / William and Amy Raper

« on: Sunday 04 July 10 04:00 BST (UK) »

Is there someone who has the Undercliffe Cemetery (Bradford) Memorial Inscriptions CD that could look up William Raper who died in Bingley in 1936 aged 59 who may have been buried with his second wife Amy (nee Spurr) who died in Bradford in 1973 aged 97. I have checked various cemeteries without success. I believe there are nine Rapers on this database, some of whom could be William's family.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / William Rushworth 1851 Census

« on: Thursday 26 November 09 02:08 GMT (UK) »

I am seeking a William Rushworth who appeared in the 1841 census (HQ107/1296/3) aged 57 +/- 5 yrs living in Horton, Bradford with his wife Mary aged 56. William's occupation was a Woolcomber. Does anyone have access to the 1851 census in order to find out if William and/or Mary were still alive at this time.

Technical Help / Pop up Windows COMPLETED

« on: Friday 24 April 09 02:03 BST (UK) »

How do I get rid of an annoying pop up window that comes up on my screen whenver I go to use "My Pictures" - it asks me if I want to install now or later, something to do with an apple system which I don't use anyway. The only way I can get it to go away is to say install later but of course it always comes back to haunt me again. There must be a simple trick somewhere.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Memorial Card Index - SUTCLIFFE

« on: Friday 24 April 09 01:40 BST (UK) »

I would appreciate it if the name SUTCLIFFE could be looked up. I have more than one Joseph and John Sutcliffe who died in Haworth/Bradford/Shipley/Keighley in West Yorks in the early to late 1800's.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Roberts of Norwich

« on: Thursday 21 February 08 04:02 GMT (UK) »

Has anyone come across the family of Roberts in Norwich. In particular I am researching Maria Roberts, daughter of William and Amy Roberts who was born in 1795. I found a marriage for Maria Roberts of Norwich in the FreeReg site to Henry Jecks (could be Jakes) Tuttle 28 November 1813 both of Norwich Parish. I also found a birth of Henry Jecks Tuthill in 1821 in Bramfield Suffolk who could be a son but have found no evidence of other children.

I would be pleased to hear from anyone who can throw any additional light on these names.

Dublin / Birth Record, surname Walthew

« on: Wednesday 26 December 07 23:05 GMT (UK) »

I am seeking the birth parents of Maria Nightingale Walthew who was born in Dublin c 1838. I know that her mother was Maria Walthew (nee Hall) who was born in Gt Yarmouth in 1805 but the father of Maria Nightingale escapes me. As I haven't been able to trace the family in England until 1881 it suggests to me that they may have been in Ireland prior to that. Also I have not been able to trace any death records for Walthews in England and since Maria the mother was a widow in 1881 in England it is likely that the father of Maria Nightingale Walthew died in Ireland. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Leeds Parish Register Look-up please

« on: Sunday 18 November 07 04:16 GMT (UK) »

If someone has access to the Leeds Parish Registers I would be obliged if they could look up a birth of Mary Rishworth born Leeds in 1802/3. I know who her husband was but never found out who her parents were. There was also a Thomas Rushworth born 1806 in Leeds who could have been a brother. This has been an ongoing mystery for years and I would love someone to help me solve it!

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Pub History in Keighley

« on: Friday 26 October 07 05:09 BST (UK) »

Can anyone tell me where I would find historical information about the "Black Bull" pub in Sutton, Keighley, particularly a list of past innkeepers and perhaps an image. One of my ancestors was the resident inn keeper there in 1901 and it would be interesting to have a little more information.
