Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Thomas Clean

Hi there,
  Thanks for the response....not completely ruled out but not too much to go forward on. I need to do some further digging, but thanks all the same.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Thomas Clean
« on: Friday 08 December 23 14:40 GMT (UK)  »
In my tree I have a Thomas Clean, Shoemaker of Ness, and a record of a son, William been christened at Hovingham in 1770. Although I have not been able to trace anything on Thomas before this , I have
come across several generations of a family called Clean in the Riccall area, including a Thomas, shoemaker, born 1736, died and buried Riccall in 1810.
  Is it possible that there is a connection, did tradesmen travel around, did they have to be members of a guild or similar? It's not too far between these places, and while the dates would fit, it may be a
stretch of the imagination to put these together.
 Could anyone please help with either a positive or negative response, thank you.

Hi there,
   Thanks for the responses, it looks as though the Smith/Dennis conundrum continues a bit longer, I think looking for George Smith in the missing census returns could be another unprofitable chase as he may have been born in Lincoln but could have ben any where before he appears in York in the early 1860's, but thanks for looking and I shall keep digging.

Northamptonshire / Sarah Ann Dennis
« on: Tuesday 11 July 23 15:41 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping that someone can give me anything at all on a Sarah Ann Dennis, born approx 1831 Peterborough.  I have nothing on her until 1865 when she is living in Osbaldwick, near York, married to a George Smith. They now have two daughters, Emily born 1863 and Louisa born 1865, Louisa going on to marry and was my wife's great grandmother.
  The census returns from 1871 onwards  show the family moving around from York to Kippax near Leeds and on to Spofforth near Wetherby, and show George born Lincoln and Sarah born Peterborough. I cannot find any trace for either of them  in the census for 1841, 1851,1861, or any details of births, marriage, parents etc.
  Can anyone out there offer any assistance please,
  Thanks.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Christopher Smith of Langtoft Yorkshire
« on: Friday 26 May 23 14:09 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping someone can add more details to the few I have regarding this person, please.
  He was born and Christened in December 1786 in Langtoft East Yorks., his father was James, b.1755, and I believe his mother was Ann (possibly Brown ?) He Married a woman Called Mary....no other info. on where, when or her surname, and they seem to have had only one child, Alice, (some entries show 'Ellis'), born April 1810, again in Langtoft. Christopher died and was buried Sept. 1831, age 45 Langtoft.
  If any one can fill in any blanks, I would be very grateful.
  Thank you,

Hi there
  William and Mary had six children I believe between 1798 and 1813, Ann, Thomas, John, William, Charles, Mary all born in the area around Norton/Malton. William himself  was bapt.16/1/1770 in Hovingham, son of Thomas, a shoemaker of Ness, there being two villages East and West Ness, one in Hovingham parish the other in parish of Stonegrave.
  I'm not sure this info. will help, but thanks for your response.

Essex / Ruth Griggs
« on: Thursday 06 October 22 13:50 BST (UK)  »
I hope that someone may be able to shed some background details on this person please.
   From various searches I have details of Ruth Griggs marrying a William Raine 1/2/1813 at St.Mary Magdelene, Colchester, before moving north to Romaldkirk in North Yorkshire where they spent the rest of their lives and had seven children. The 1851 census indicates that Ruth was born in Colchester,
 and on her death in December 1859, her age is shown as 80, which would indicate a birth of 1779, or thereabouts, allowing for minor discrepancies.
  So far I have only come across two people with this name, both in Elsenham, one bapt 1/5/1768, and a second bapt 30/9/1810. There is also a marriage in Elsenham 13/10/1788, groom named as Robert Speller.
  Does anyone have anything at all on the correct Ruth please, I don't think either of these fit the bill unless there is a piece missing somewhere...second marriage ?, mispellng ? incorrect dates shown?.. something that would lead to Ruth's family background.
 Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Mary Smith of Bulmer
« on: Thursday 29 September 22 16:02 BST (UK)  »
I know that anyone with the name Smith can be very difficult to trace, but I live in hope that someone, somewhere may have a gem of information.
  My 3x G/Grandmother was Mary Smith, born approx 1769, shown Bulmer. She married William Maclean, (spelling varies) in March 1798 in Norton, Malton N. Yorks, and died in Allerston near Pickering in March 1867, age 98.
  The nearest I have come to any background was a Mary Smith bapt 14/2/1773 in Bulmer, parents Charles and Margaret, and whilst this does not agree with her age throughout the census returns, it could still be correct as it was not uncommon for children to be baptised several years after being born.
  Is there anyone out there who would be able to confirm/deny/clarify that This Mary Smith is the person I am looking for, or any other information that may be helpful, please. 
  Thank you

Hello there,
   Thanks for the info. regarding Emmanuel Smith, not a particularly common name and not one I have come across in any branch of the family before, could it be the father's name ?? I shall have to do some more digging, but the explanation re difference in ages sounds feasible, and with a name like Smith, anything is possible.

Thanks, Brian
