Yorkshire (North Riding) / Robinsons in Ugglebarnby
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 16:25 BST (UK)  »
The 1851 census shows Susannah, unmarried, aged 20, living with her father Robert Robinson, and sister-in-law Hannah aged 30, (Hannah was already a widow with a 2 year old daughter). Her father Robert is 67 years old and was born in Ugglebarnby. This gives him a birth date around 1784, and Susannah a birth date around 1831. Robert was a stonemason.
Despite lots of searching,
*I have failed to find birth or baptisms for Susannah's 2 brothers, Robert b. 1829 and William b. 1834, (dates from census).
* I have yet to find which older Robinson son, the widowed Hannah had married. Hannah was born in Newcastle area, and her dead husband was a seaman. As her child, Ann Elizabeth, was born about 1849, presumably she was widowed between 1848 and the 1851 census.
* I have a possible marriage for the father, There is a record of marriage banns in April 1810, in the parish of Sneaton, for a Robert Robinson and a Sarah Ezart. They married on April 30th. If this is a correct marriage for Robert snr., there could be many undiscovered children!
Any help with above queries gratefully received!

« on: Friday 21 August 15 23:07 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone researching the Bide name in Surrey?
I am trying to trace parents and grandparents of Hannah BIDE of Farnham b. Feb.1829.
I have Hannah aged 12 in 1841, with 2 brothers Stephen and Samuel, and their parents Richard & Elizabeth (both 50yr).
Has anyone traced a Richard & Elizabeth Bide both born approx. late 1780s to mid 1790s?
Many thanks, Maggie

Lancashire / Abraham Allen,b. 1866 Bolton,anyone related?
« on: Thursday 17 April 14 16:37 BST (UK)  »
Finding the gravestone of Abraham's parents [Jesse Allen and Ann Howarth] in Harwood, I became a little sidetracked by my gt. gt. uncle Abraham's family.Abraham married Margaret Blackburn and they had 4 sons-
James,1891; Harold,1895, Arthur,1899, and Harry,1902. I have tracked them through to the 1911 census, but wonder how to find out whether the oldest children served in the forces in WW1 and did they survive?
Do we have a date for the release of the 1921 census?
Many thanks, Maggie.

Can anyone tell me if inscriptions from Lauther churchyard are available?
I believe that a John Spence was buried there in 1794, and I'm wondering if he was related to my Spence family, his wife was called Margaret.
Many thanks, Maggie

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can you date this family group please?
« on: Thursday 16 February 12 23:13 GMT (UK)  »
Is this a World War 1 photo group? The photo belongs to our family, but we are not sure which side of the family. Is it possible to date it? Sorry I cannot tell you anything about the original print details, as it was given to me as a copy, so there's only the clothing to go on.
Thanks, Maggie

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Edwardian Footman?
« on: Thursday 05 January 12 19:49 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with this  photo? Originally told he worked at Crathorne Hall, I found no trace of him there but did find him when 1911 census released at Swinton Grange Hall.
It show my husband's grandfather at work - possibly at Swinton Grange near Malton, N. Yorks.
Is this the uniform of a footman? as I have Ernest ( b. 1893) as a Hall Boy in 1911, but the uniform looks too grand for that role. Could he have been promoted up the servant heirachy, and what date?
Thanks, Maggie

Yorkshire (North Riding) / REED Crathorne Hall
« on: Sunday 27 March 11 16:36 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to track down my husbands grandfather- Ernest Alfred Reed b. 1893, Norton.
I have him in the 1891 census with his family, at Scarborough Road, Norton, N. Yorks.
The family was split up after his father died, about 1911, but though I have found his brothers and sisters living with older members of the family, I can find no trace of Ernest until he joins the army at the start of WW1
Before WW1 he is said by family to have been a servant, possibly at Crathorne Hall, near Yarm.
His parents were Henry and Catherine.
Many thanks, Maggie.
