Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / List of the Mayors of Hull
« on: Monday 23 May 11 10:23 BST (UK)  »
Would anyone have a list of the Mayors of Hull? Two distant relatives (both named HENRY ETHERINGTON) apparently held that position in the late 1700s and early 1800s. I would like to know what year?

Hertfordshire / CHERRY of Therfield, Royston, Sandon & Kelshall
« on: Monday 23 May 11 10:20 BST (UK)  »
I have traced my Cherry ancestors from Therfield (1720-1852) back to a Charles Cherry ( b abt 1640)  who married an Ann and had four children at Royston in the 1660s. As the register only commence in Royston in 1660, that seems to be that. But, I suspect he may have come from Sandon, where a Thomas & Grace Cherry had a son James in 1637 (he married at Therfield and left a will in 1685). Thomas was probably born at Kelshall in 1606 to William & Catherine (IGI).  But, there is a bit of conjecture in this. Any suggestions on how to firm up the links would be appreciated.

Laois (Queens) / Where is "Roseville Queens County?"
« on: Monday 14 March 11 11:45 GMT (UK)  »
My John Lawlor arrived in Australian in 1868 and married in 1869. He gave his birthplace as "Roseville, Queens County" and his age as 28, parents James Lawlor (farmer) and Ellen Kinsella. I have searched and can found no town or village that goes close. I thought it might be Rosenallis, but there is no match for the family on the Parish Register. I am at a dead end. John was illiterate, so his surname could be any of the variations.

Tyrone / Where is Banitol
« on: Monday 14 March 11 11:34 GMT (UK)  »
I have a record for a Robert Leitch born in "Banitol" Co Tyrone to Robert & Martha Leitch on 25/12/1804. The family later settled at Argory Co Donegal (near Lifford). I can't find "Banitol" in any list of townlands or localities. Any suggestions?
