Completed Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Requests / HIRST Mary(1848) William (1846) Hannah (1835) COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 19 January 08 00:07 GMT (UK)  »
I have a look up request for the children of James Hirst (Tidesurveyor) and Mary Hirst (nee Dawson) of Vincent Street, West Sculcoates who appear on various census reports (1841, 1851, 1861)

I have found two (three including one death as a child) of their children but have struggled to pin down the eldest two (pre GRO) and the youngest two (GRO records do not tie up with census)

Hannah (b 1835)
Elizabeth (b 1838)

Charlotte (b Vincent Street, W Sculcoates, 18 Sep 1839, m KAY)
James (b Vincent Street, W Sculcoates, 11 July 1843)
Frederick(b Vincent Street, W Sculcoates, 17 Aug 1841, died 4 Jun 1842)

William (b Hull ~1848)
Mary A (b Hull ~1848)


Any thoughts or assistance on where I can find further details gratefully received!!

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Captn HG James d.1932 Jersey COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 25 December 07 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
My Grt Grandfather James "Green" Hirst  (b 1843 Hull, captain with the Leeds Rifles) ran off to Jersey with bar maid, Ada Anna (b 1872 Leeds ?), sometime after 1901 possibly after being named in the divorce proceedings of a Alice Hannah Riscon(?) in 1902. It has been suggested he was led astray by the Vaudeville acts at Leeds City Varieties! He was recorded in the Jersey directory of 1927 as "H.G. James of  Wongonella, Grouville."

He died in Jersey 15 Jul 1932, and is buried in St Clements under the name of "Captain HG James".

I would like to find out more about James Green Hirst (or Captn HG Green) and Ada Anna's life and death on Jersey. In particular, what her surname was, whether they did get married, death certificate details, what Wongonella Grouville was (is) like, and even when they actually first appeared on Jersey.

Can anyone provide me a pointer as to what I may be able to find out?

Regards - David

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / HURST (Hirst) 1851 census St Just In Roseland
« on: Sunday 09 December 07 23:28 GMT (UK)  »
Having found my customs office ancestor in the 1851 census using FREECEN I was wondering if anybody could validate the transcription ... in particular as I believe James (Snr) and Mary A (Snr) were both born in Halifax, Charles should be Charlotte (!) and I had not previously identified the two youngest siblings, William and Mary A.
