Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Williamson Drove, Walcot or Billinghay
« on: Sunday 25 September 11 04:07 BST (UK)  »
I would like to find out the origion on the name of Williamson Drove.

Also is there anyway to find out just where it is on the censuses.

 I have a copy of the 1881 but it only lists the area as Billinghay. Finding out who lived on Williamson Drove might give me some idea as to how it got its name.

Hoping someone can help me

Australia / Electoral Rolls
« on: Saturday 21 August 10 06:22 BST (UK)  »
Is it possible to get copies of Electoral Rolls for Sydney in the mid 1930's to 1950's.

I have the Electorate that I am interested in but no idea where to go for the info.
I will be phoning the Electoral Office after this weekend....thought they might be too busy with the Election at the moment.

Electorates are Cook and Watson in Sydney

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / KNARESBOROUGH PARISH REGISTERS
« on: Monday 16 November 09 03:25 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Parish Registers for St John The Baptist Church in Knaresborough.

I have written to the church in the past and got some info on my family but there  is still alot that I need to look more closely at.

I live in Australia and used to visit an LDS temple when I lived in Sydney but have now moved out of the city and dont have LDS in this area.

Hope some records are available from somewhere.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Parish Registers- Farnham
« on: Monday 16 November 09 03:11 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ANN WHITE  baptized in Farnham on 21 October 1810

Her father is given as John White.
The Census shows that she was born in Scotton
I think Ann might have been born 1802 from her age on the Census.
She went on to marry Edward Thorpe Catton in 1833 in Knaresborough.

Do the registers show a mothers name or is there a marriage for John White about 1800.

She is my direct ancestor so I would love to find out more about her parents to get back one more generation.

Thank you for offering to do this look up

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Knaresborough Workhouse
« on: Tuesday 17 February 09 02:35 GMT (UK)  »
I have a death for Elizabeth Catton age 15. She was buried on Feb 19 1828 and is shown as being from the Workhouse. This info came from the records at Knaresborough Church.

I cannot find any trace of Elizabeth Catton and would like to know if there would be any info about her in the Workhouse records. I dont know how to access these records online and hope that someone might be able to help me.

Thank you from

Jill

I am trying to find John GILBERT born 1863 in Camberwell

In the 1901 he is shown as a Cab House Keeper and on the 1881 I think he is shown as living in lodgings in Kensington but not place of birth is given.

Hope someone can find him

Thank you in advance

« on: Monday 28 July 08 07:08 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Would someone please check the 1841 census in Bradford for a Joanna FOX.
Her husband is Robert FOX but I am not sure if he was still alive at that time
Joanna would be about 60.

Address and who she was living with would be a great help

Thank You
