Completed Census Requests / Re: 1851 Dudley Census Lookup for Jonah FLAVELL (Piece & Folio Ref now available)
« on: Monday 15 May 06 09:11 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Ali,

I did have the details but I didn't have the Census reference numbers and they are always useful to have.  :)

Thanks again.
Mike.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Ann Howell Bolton by Bowland
« on: Thursday 23 February 06 10:28 GMT (UK)  »
I had a quick look in FreeBMD which I presume you have already done. Just a thought, did you try a phonetic search on the surname?

If not, could these be a possibility? I'm presuming that Bolton By Bowland would be covered by the Clitheroe registers:

Deaths Jun 1881 Ann HOYLE,  Aged 34, Clitheroe  8e 189   
Deaths Jun 1883 Ann HALL, Aged 78,  Clitheroe  8e 197

Regards,
Mike.

These days , I'm guessing the same goes for back then, Polly is often a nickname for Pauline.

Many thanks for your efforts anyway, Casalguidi, they are very much appreciated.

I think I'll have to think of and try a different approach in order to locate William.  :)

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Anyone know where Rockcliff or Rockliffe is?
« on: Thursday 12 January 06 09:21 GMT (UK)  »
I've looked on multimap around the Loftus area and there is a Rockcliffe Farm north of Easington just off the Skinningrove to Boulby Road. It's located towards the top right hand corner on the following link:

Here

I'm not sure if this would be the place referred to in the census though.

I think Captain Cook was born there but could be wrong!) . Boats = Rope makers...... what do you think?

All the best

Captain Cook was born in Marton which is now a suburb of Middlesbrough, but he certainly spent some of his early working life in Staithes where he was apprenticed at a shop, before moving on to Whitby and eventually far greater things. At that time Staithes was certainly considered to be a thriving fishing town. There is more information about Captain Cook here: http://www.whitby-uk.com/cgi-bin/site.nav/whitby.pl?page=captaincook

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: WIFFEN death or marriage
« on: Thursday 22 December 05 09:31 GMT (UK)  »
From FreeBMD, there is one record of a Martha WIFFEN marriage between 1901 and 1911:

Surname  First name(s)    District  Vol  Page 
~~~~~~~~
Marriages Mar 1905
~~~~~~~~
ALDERSON  Thomas    Auckland  10a 276   
JOHNSON  Sarah     Auckland  10a 276   
TARN  William     Auckland  10a 276   
WIFFEN  Martha     Auckland  10a 276

I don't know if this will be the same one though.

Regards,
Coffdrop

Many thanks for the reply casalguidi, that's another piece added to the jigsaw.  :)

Sorry for my delay on replying but I've been on holiday for the last 3 weeks. It seems slightly strange that there are two daughters listed with the name Elizabeth. Hmmm, I wonder if the eldest two children could be from a previous marriage, as there is a bit of a gap between her and the next child living with the family?

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census Marske
« on: Thursday 29 September 05 08:41 BST (UK)  »
In that case, I think the above 1851 Census index covers that area and unfortunately the people mentioned aren't in it.

New Marske didn't really amount to any size whatsoever in 1851, in fact on an old map from 1857 it isn't even marked. The link below will take you to a map for 1857, somewhere near Redcar, follow the railway line heading south and east and you will eventually come to Marske-in-Cleveland. todays New Marske is sited south of the railway line, between Marske and Upleatham, which lies to the south of Marske.

There is a possibility that they came under the 1851 Census index for Kirkleatham and Upleatham, which unfortunately I don't hold a copy of.
