Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: What is correct Peathorne/Peethorne or was it Paythorne
« on: Monday 11 May 15 10:20 BST (UK)  »
The Jones Family at Brightside Bierlow are the correct family.

My GGrandmother Sarah came to NZ in 1913 withher husband and the younger members of her family.
Like a lot of families they too scattered after WW1 and some also went to Victoria in Australia.
By 1922 the parents had died. So much for a new life in the Antipedes.
Thank you for replies.

Thank you to you both for your ideas and possiblilities.
One census had Peathorne and the other Peethorne..regional dialects??
We didn't know who 'Aunt Polly' was after our mother died along with family knowledge.
I had a photo of myself as a baby with a message to 'Aunt Polly' which was never sent...on calling on a younger cousin of my mother's I asked her and she had letters written by Polly to her father, my grandmothers brother, along with others from more family members. I struck  gold as attached to one letter was an obit. with more family members names.
Since then I have been contacted by the 2xGGrand daughter of another sibling of my grandmother's who never migrated to NZ but she is in Adelaide. My mother mentioned staying with her Aunt & Uncle in Gorton and seeing a Zeppelin pass over just before they left Manchester to come to NZ late 1916/17. More about that but all rather interesting to discover my mother didn't make up stories which we thought were far fetched when we were younger. Truth can be stranger than fiction.
I have cousins in Manchester who we have stayed with 2x..one time visiting Styal Cotton Mill and last time a tour of the Manchester Town Hall which coincided with our days with them. They are not interested very much in Family Hx and I have done what they have from here. Also very interesting as their 'way back' connections were Moravians.
You like we know that as 'genies'
My home email is (*) should you think of anything else and want to contact me here.
Kindly,

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Accessing archive materials in Wellington
« on: Sunday 10 May 15 06:27 BST (UK)  »
Hello Jim,
A member of the NZ Society of Genealogists in Wellington may be able to assist you.
The Archive is in the central city.
I too am away from Wellington so unable to assist, sorry.
I will ask a cousin and see if he could  possibly...I know he can be busy himself.
Distance is such a problem sometimes for family historians!!
Hopefully we will be over to do more research ourselves in the Borders and Glasgow later this year...
We love Scotland

Yorkshire (West Riding) / What is correct Peathorne/Peethorne or was it Paythorne
« on: Sunday 10 May 15 06:16 BST (UK)  »
My 2x great grandmother was apparently born at circa1835 Elizabeth Lazenby is her name on her daughter Sarah's NZ Death certificate.I know this may not be correct but does anyone know which of the place names could be/is correct please.
Elizabeth had a 2nd daughter Mary Jane known as Polly within the family and her husband was Henry Jones, Born Warwickshire about the same year.
I can find no marriage for Elizabeth Lazenby & Henry Jones (he became a Stationary Engineer) either but they are on the 1861 and 1871 English censuses

Where would you research if you were me?
Thanks

United States of America / Re: Cossar/Cosser family who emigrated from Midlothian, Scotland to USA around 1848

Walter Cossar is definitely a family name and comes down our lines as well...
My sister had a Scots Research done in the mid1970s and it goes back a few generations via the OPR Old Parish Registers. Our families in Berwickshire/Scottish Borders were tenant Farmers and horse dealers. I am trying to find out what happened to an Agnes Cossar born to Mark Cossar from Greenknowe Farm Duns (Dunse)

Hi, I am a COSSAR decendent living in New Zealand.
Copae/er is sometimes the translation from the old english COFsar..this on some censuses and also on legal documents. Cossar is correct Cosser sometimes as there were no rules of spelling once upon a time
 I would like to make contact with you please Sandi/Sandra? Is that OK with you.
