Australia / Palman - Perth - Western Australia
« on: Thursday 18 June 15 05:45 BST (UK) »
Helping out a friend with her research.
Trying to research a Palman family who moved to Perth Australia in the 1960s.
Specifically I wondered whether there was any information on these brothers:
Colin E Palman. Born 1928, Died 2012
Dudley Palman. Born 1922, died 1981. (I found a photo of his gravestone)
Many thanks

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Wigginton Parish Registers
« on: Friday 01 November 13 03:58 GMT (UK) »
If anyone has access to the Wigginton Parish registers and would be very grateful if they would check the following:
The baptism of Thomas Gilbank on 8 Feb 1778, the son of John Gilbank and Mary
The marriage of John Gilbank and Elizabeth Tarpley on 17 Mar 1781.
I would particularly like to know whether John was a widower when he married.
Also, are there any Gilbank burials on the NBI in the Sutton on Forest, Wigginton area between 1766 and 1800.

Dear Paul
Many thanks for that. I had a suspicion she might have died in the workhouse.
Have contacted the Ripon society and ordered the CD.

Dear Pinetree
If you get the chance to check the Sutton on Forest registers for Gilbank entries it would be a great help. Also I suppose the marriage entry of John Gilbank and Abigail Davidson at St Sampson, York on 29/11/1795 might give a bit more information. I've been researching this family for years so there's no urgency!
One of John's sons put his father's ocupation down as soldier on his marriage certificate and I'd be interested to know whether he ever was in the army. He seems to have been quite a tough character. In 1820 he was arrested for poaching and shipped out to Australia. He survived a seven year sentence in Tasmania and eventually returned to York.

I've just been looking on the GENUKI alphabetical list and index for places in Yorkshire.
Lots of Newtons but no Newton on the Forest. Could this be a specific farm in the Parish of Sutton on Forest? I found a marriage for John Gilbank and Mary Holmes at Sutton in the Forest in 1766 so their links seem to be with that parish.

Dear Pinetree
I can't thank you enough for all that information - this has pushed my tree back by another generation.
I think Esther was the 3rd daughter and Ann was the 4th but it is always possible I have missed some earlier baptisms

I don't think it was legal to marry your deceased wife's sister until early in the 20th Century. But it certainly did happen.
The local vicar may have refused to marry them so they eloped to Gretna - or somewhere similar.
