Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Marriage look up please
« on: Friday 11 May 07 11:27 BST (UK)  »
Some of you may remember I was looking for a marriage between William Mountain and a Caroline ?. Well I ordered one of their childrens birth certificates which arrived today. It states mothers maiden name was SMITH!

So, please could you assist me in finding their marriage. I have had a look and no luck.

WILLIAM MOUNTAIN & CAROLINE SMITH - married possibly before 1849 (as their first child was born 1849). William was definately from Bradford and Caroline was possibly from Leeds (the census' state different everytime).

All of their children were born in Bradford

Thank you

I am trying to find the marriage details of William Mountain & Caroline ?Hartley. They were born in Bradford 1824/1825 and had their first child 1849 so I assume they married before then.

Thanks

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Looking for a shop
« on: Tuesday 03 April 07 21:00 BST (UK)  »
In the 1901 census it states my relative JOSEPH MONDAY was living at 67 Spencer Street, Hull. This was a shop that I presume he owned as it mentioned 'own account' under the employment column. He was a HAIRDRESSER.

Can anyone please see if you can find the name of the shop or find a photo? I have had a look but could only find it in one directory (Bulmer's East Yorkshire, 1892) where it only gave me his name and 'hairdresser'.

Thanks very much.

Looking for the birth of William Mountain born in Bradford abt 1824. I only know it was that year as it is stated on the 1861 --> census. However, I cannot seem to find him in the 1851 census. He is on the 1841 census but NOT living with his parents

He married a Caroline Hartley in 1842 in Halifax. Caroline was also born Bradford (i believe). I cant seem to find her birth either.

I am struggling to find Williams parents also. Obviously as I cant find William on earlier census' I cant pinpoint his parents.

Can someone please help.

Thanks

I am trying to find out about the work my gt grand-uncle Ralph Mountain did. He was born in Bradford. In the 1901 census it stated he was a photographer with 'own account at home'. I am unsure what kind of photographer he was but would be very interested in finding some of his work. Could any one help?

Thanks, Janet
