Shropshire / Leonard Gilbert Hawkes
« on: Saturday 18 October 14 19:49 BST (UK)  »
Wondered if anyone can help me  ;D I am helping someone as they are really stuck on their tree. She has got a birth certificate for her Great Grandfather,

Leonard Gilbert Hawkes, born 18th December 1915, at 2 north hermitage,Shrewsbury .

His father was, Leonard James Hawkes

His mother was, Beatrice Mary hawkes (that is her maiden name)

Fathers occupation was teacher

Mother was also believed to be a teacher

His mother registered him with the above name and same address as birth ...
He was registered in the district of Atcham in sub district of St Mary in the county of Salop

Leonard Gilbert was adopted at 6 months old by Henry and Gladys Harris they lived in cherington,warwickshire. His parents visited him once a year until he was around the age of 14 .

I have looked on Ancestry, Find My Past and Famlysearch for a marriage for his parents and cannot find any.

The suspicion of the person I am helping and her family is that his parents were related and the people who adopted him were friends of theirs.

Just wondered if I was missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

My mother was born at Whitnash Warwickshire and Lived there until she married my father at 21 years old. I am having great problems with her fathers side of the family and hoping I can get some answers there.

I would also like to see where my mother came from and hopefully find where her mum and dad are buried.

Any help with telling me where I need to go would be gratefully recieved and also any B&B or simular at reasonable cost nearby.

Thanking you in advance

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Barnsley Cemeteries
« on: Saturday 03 December 11 19:30 GMT (UK)  »
Found this website which contains records for all Barnsley South Yorkshire Cemeteries. You have to become a member by going to My Account at the top of the page and then go to Create your account now.

http://www.cemeteries.org.uk/
It is free to search and you will get up names and cemetery they are buried in but if you want any more details it costs £3.50 for 50 credits, the 50 credits will give you 50 pages that you can print, ie if you were searching for Smith and you got 50 pages of results and wanted to print them out it would have only cost you £3.50. Only downside is the credits only stay valid for 7 days.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Help please - Poppleton - Death Certificate Arrived
« on: Friday 02 December 11 19:52 GMT (UK)  »
I have asked before on part of this family and wondered if I could get more help. We cannot seem to get anywhere with the Poppleton side. What we have is

My friends Grandfather was William Henry Poppleton b.1 May 1879 Hoyland, his mother according to his birth certificate was Mary Ann Poppleton, a domestic servent. There is no father on the certificate but we have established that hgis father was William Gillott.

We cannot seem to find Mary Ann other than a death that could possibly be her and will recieve the certificate next Friday when my friend picks it up.

We are assuming Mary was born in Yorkshire and think it would be the Barnsley area but of course we have nothing to confirm this.

Any help on the Poppleton's would be very much appreciated, we have gone back a long way on the Gillott side.

Devon Completed Lookup Requests / Help Please - Kemble - Completed
« on: Friday 11 November 11 11:51 GMT (UK)  »
My husbands cousin has asked if I can find out about her Fathers family. Her Father was killed in 1944 on HMS Mourne. I am stuck on her Fathers Father.

Her father was John Reginald Kemble 4 Nov 1904 - 15 Jun 1944

His Father was Daniel Kemble b.1862 Coffinswell, Devon, d. 1919 Coffinswell, Devon.

The problem is I have found Daniel on 1871 census and on 1911 census but none in between.

1871
Daniel Kemble 1862 Coffinswell, Devon,
Father: John Kemble c1831 Tedburn St Mary, Devon
Mother: Sarah A Kemble c1831 Tedburn St Mary, Devon
Other children
Charlotte Kemble c1857 Tedburn St Mary, Devon
William Kemble c1859 Bishops Teignton, Devon
John Kemble c1866 Coffinswell, Devon
Jane Kemble c1869 St Mary Church, Devon

On 1881 census I have found his father with Jane and another child, Sarah is visiting her sister in Exeter and I have found Charlotte, William and John at different places as servents but there is no sign of Daniel. I cannot find him on 1891 or 1901 either.

I have found his marriage to Mary Elizabeth Clements in Mar Q 1904 at Torrington Devon and I have them on 1911 census living at Clay Lane Cottages Chudleigh Knighton Newton Abbot Devon.

Wondered if anyone could help with this

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Help with Marriage - Walter Stenton - Completed Thank You
« on: Thursday 11 August 11 20:00 BST (UK)  »
Wondered if anyone can help with a marriage for Walter Stenton and a Emma. I have Walter born c1859 Hoyland Barnsley Yorkshire. On 1861 and 1871 census he is living with his parents Moses Stenton and Ann Stenton (nee Naylor) they are living at Hoyland on both census.

On 1881 he is with his wife Emma and daughter Elizth Ann Stenton and still living at Hoyland. Emma is down as being born c1860 Hoyland Yorkshire.

The only marriage I can find is Dec Q 1880 Rotherham to Emma Uttley. I cannot understand why when both were from Hoyland Barnsley they would marry in Rotherham Yorkshire.

All help much appreciated

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Help Please with this Mystery, Poppleton/Gillott
« on: Thursday 05 May 11 22:34 BST (UK)  »
I am helping a friend with his tree and we are doing his Fathers side again after taking the wrong line.  :(

His father was George Naylor Poppleton b. 1906 West Hoyland Barnsley Yorkshire. His father was William Henry Poppleton b. 1 May 1879 Hoyland, on his birth certificate there is no fathers name, his mother is down as Mary Ann Poppleton, Domestic Servent.

William on 1881 census he is not with his mother but living as Grandson with John Gillott, Elizabeth Gillott, William Gillott and Thomas Gillott. ??? On this he is down as being born at Worsbro Yorkshire and are living at Platts Common, Hoyland Nether, Yorkshire.

On 1891 he is still with his grandfather John Gillott in the same place.

on 15 Oct 1900 he married Elizabeth Ann Stenton, but this is where it gets very confusing as he married with the name William Henry Poppleton Gillott,  ???and his Father is on the certificate as William Henry Gillott. They married at St Peters Church Hoyland Yorkshire.

I can't make any sense of this, my friend did not really know his father as his parents seperated when he was young. His mother did say that when they married George did turn to one of his relatives and say "what name do I use Poppleton or Gillott" he used Poppleton.

On 1911 census they are using the name Poppleton and George as down as Naylor Poppleton.

Please can someone help to sort this any help at all would be appreciated.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Big Favour Asked - Tingle
« on: Wednesday 13 October 10 21:34 BST (UK)  »
I am asking a big favour . Can someone please look on 1871 and see if there are any other families with the surname Tingle living on New Street, Barnsley, Yorkshire. I have found a family living at No 78

James Tingle Head 39 coal miner Barnsley Yorks
Ann Tingle Wife 37 Barnsley Yorks
William Tingle Son 18 Lab at Pit Barnsley Yorks
Henrietta Tingle Dau 16 Factory Worker Barnsley
Elizabeth Tingle Dau 13 Factory Worker Barnsley
Mary Ann Tingle Dau 9 Barnsley
Sarah Tingle Dau 8 Barnsley
Richard Tingle Son 3 Barnsley

The person I am looking for is not with this family. I am looking for Mary Jane Tingle c1856 Barnsley Yorkshire.

The person who I am helping has her marriage cerificate for marriage to Andrew Wright Jun Q 1872 Barnsley, On the certificate Mary Jane is aged 16 and living at New Street Barnsley but there is no house number and there is no Fathers name.

We cannot find anything for her before she was married.

I looked  and there are 305 addresses on New Street. I know I am asking a lot but I don't know what else to do. Ithought if I could find a Tingle family on the street I could research the family to see if she turns up with them. I have done this with the above Tingle family but she is not on 1861 census with them.
