Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / John Bunyan Parsonage 1850 - 1928
« on: Monday 04 March 24 18:10 GMT (UK)  »
The older photograph is from a bundle of Parsonage documents inherited from John Bunyan Parsonage's son Geoffrey 1897 - 1994. Can it please be dated and confirm if it is someone who was born in 1850?

I also have a picture from an ancestry tree, confirmed to be J B Parsonage in later life; do you think it is the same man.?

Thanks.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Elizabeth Cummins b 1797 Bolton upon Swale
« on: Saturday 24 February 24 16:38 GMT (UK)  »
Family search has the baptism of an Elizabeth Cummins on 21 Dec 1797 at Bolton upon Swale, parents George and Harriot Cummins.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQ2W-7BJ
Could she be the Eliza Cummins buried in 1823 aged 28 in Kirk Leatham? This Eliza lived in Yearby.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:661W-THGL

I am helping someone in Australia who is trying to identify an Eliza Cummin[g]s said to have been born in Yorkshire who married John Dunnon/Durron in Van Diemen's Land in 1825 aged 30 [so born ca 1795]. In a later documentsshe stated she was a free settler - ie not a convict.

There was a Miss E Cummings on the 'Hope' which arrived at Hobart in April 1824. 

Does anyone have any knowledge of this 1797 Elizabeth d/o George & Harriot which could confirm or exclude her being the woman buried in 1823 or the woman in Tasmania?

Thanks for any help

Yorkshire (West Riding) / John Clegg shopkeeper in Soothill
« on: Sunday 18 February 24 13:46 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor John Clegg 1799 - 1859 who was a grocer/shopkeeper/clothier in Soothill.
1841 Piece 1268 Book 14 Folio 19 Page 3
1851 Piece 2325 Folio   146 Page number 7
Living at Commonside Earlsheaton both censuses.

Does anyone know how I can find out where the shop was, any photographs of Soothill first half of 19th century, how long John had it & who took over after he died?

I have located Rates books for Dewsbury and Thornhill which I will try to get to see sometime at WYAS in Huddersfield. However Soothill only goes from 1910 - where would it be before that?
