Suffolk Lookup Requests / Elizabeth Eaton - baptism and parents help
« on: Friday 01 March 24 14:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I’m trying to find the baptism and then hopefully the parents for an Elizabeth Eaton born around 1761 Wyverstone, Suffolk. 
She married Thomas Youngman on the 29th January 1783 at Wyverstone.  I think Thomas was born in Wattisfield.
Their daughter Eliza was born in 1799 in Haughley. 
Not sure if all these small villages were close and maybe they moved around  ???
Any help would be amazing.  Thank you

Hi
I’m trying to find the parents of David Hellewell born 1786 Sowerby Bridge, Halifax, West Yorkshire. 
He married Mary Wilkinson in 1815.  Their daughter Hannah Hellewell born 1834 is my 3x great grandmother.
I think his father could be David Hellewell born 1765 as there is a baptism for younger David in Sowerby Bridge but I’m really lost and I’m at a dead end :(
Any help would be amazing.
Thank you

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Thomas Gunter b.1723 Coaley -Mother’s name?
« on: Wednesday 31 March 21 21:14 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,

I’m trying to find the mother’s name for Thomas Gunter born 1723 Coaley. 

From the baptism record Thomas’s father was Richard Gunter.

I’d seen a family tree that gave his mother’s name as Elizabeth Manson and her father was Anders Anderson.  I’m really unsure about these 2 names as I can’t find any records. 

I’m hoping someone could help me find Thomas’s mother’s name so I can extend my family tree further. 

Thank you

Canada Lookup Request / Joseph Shaw criminal records Montreal
« on: Tuesday 23 March 21 21:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone.

I’m looking into my 2x great grandfather’s life in Montreal and prison in Montreal. ( Hopefully I’m posting in the correct place. )

He was born about 1848 Halifax, Yorkshire, England.  He arrived in Montreal in June 1903 and by November 1903 he was in prison.  (I do have this prison record thanks to a very kind lady in Canada). 

In 1911 there is a prison record for him and in 1921 there’s another prison record. 

He died on 31 December 1921 in prison in Montreal. 

I was wondering how I find out any criminal records for him and wondered if anyone could help me?  He may have been in and out of prison a few times, I’m really not sure.  18 years in and out of prison is a long time. 

It would be so nice to try and finally find out about Joseph’s life in Montreal.  I’ve always wondered whether he had friends, a place to call home, a job or did he have nothing and just prison. 

The family story is that he left on the ship ‘Bavarian’ from Liverpool to Montreal and never returned.
His wife and family remained in England. 
 
If anyone knows where to start looking and can help/advise me in anyway, I would be most grateful.

Thank you so much

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Mary Sadler 1769? Birth & Parents
« on: Sunday 14 March 21 13:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone,

After many years searching and with no clear result I’m hoping someone could help me to find the parents names for Mary Sadler and her birth.

She married William Serjeant (or Surgun) on 12 February 1792 St Matthews Ipswich. 

Her children were Mary Ann, William, Mahalath, Isaac, Lydia, Henry Vincent, Elizabeth, Ebenezer and James.

She was probably born around 1769 and died in 1839.  I don’t know whether she was born in Ipswich or out of the area or even the county. 

Thank you

Hello everyone

I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me find the name of my 5xgreat grandfather's wife and parents.  Samuel Turner was born March 1760 Halifax and his son was Japheth Turner born 1781 Northowram. 
I've been searching for quite a while now and after having a long break would like to try again in finding more information for him. 
I've had no luck in finding his wife's name or any birth record for him.  Other children (as well as Japheth) were William, Harriot, Hannah and Ruth.
Hoping (and keeping my fingers crossed) that someone may be able to help me with these searches.

Thank you :)

Hi,
I’m looking for the parents names for Sarah Cooper born about 1790? Lea. 

She married Thomas Smith on 14th February 1814 in Crich, with consent from parents.  Witnesses William Marsden and Hannah Lomas.

Hi,
I’m trying to find some information on another relative who died in WW1.  My family don’t have much information on him. 

He was Edward Cecil Shaw born 1898 Yorkshire.  His father was Thomas Turner Shaw and his mother Ada Shaw.  He moved to Blackpool then to Manchester with his family, we’ve found him in 1911.

He died 24th October 1917 France & Flanders age 19.  Could this date tie in with him dying at Passchendale?

He was with the Manchester Regiment number 203113 .

We’re hoping to visit Ypres in the future and visit the area where they were positioned and died.  Any help as to whether this area could be Passchendale or whether he had a grave etc would be great to find out and help us on our visit.

Thank you
