Yorkshire (West Riding) Completed Requests / James William Scales, Leeds, 1888-1914
« on: Monday 21 November 16 23:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi Community,
I'm Dominic R. Scales, born in Leeds in 1959, moved to Germany when I was 7 with my parents.
I'm trying to find the parents of my great-granddad, James William Scales. He was born in Leeds in Q3 1888 (GRO Ref 09B 424) and died in Q3 1914 (GRO Ref 09B 412). In Q3 1913 he married Martha Ellen Crosfill (1894-1958).
My granddad Jim, also a James William Scales, was born in Leeds 28 July 1914 - so he probably never saw his dad. Jim married Molly (Mary Elizabeth) Gorman from Blackpool/Southport in 1937. (Got some info on her ancestry) My dad, Robert James, was born in Nov 1937 and passed away in October 2015.
I've found a lot of information on the Crosfill ancestry, but can't seem to find anything on GGdad's parents.
I'm using mainly FamilySearch, freebmd, yorkshirebdm, lancashirebdm for my research.
I've found some Wray from Aberford, Tyas and Asquith...
I haven't come across a baptism for JW, yet. Is there a good place to look for that?
Tonight I've ordered the birth and death certificates for JW senior as pdf-email. Let's get some enlightenment
