Hi Kath,

Yes, I think I can detect William Sims on my tree! Basically, I believe all the Howden Simms/Sims descend from James Simms and Elizabeth Brown (who were born in the early 1700s).

I think your William is the son of James Simms and Ann Holdsworth?

So:

James Simms and Elizabeth Brown (Gen 1)
James Simms and Susannah Elcock (Gen 2)
James Simms and Ann Holdsworth (Gen 3)
William Simms and Martha

Does that tie in with you? My family is another branch from generation 2, James and Elizabeth's son David, as opposed to James Jr.

Hiya both,

I don't think I'm related to any Bassindales so I'm a bit curious as to how the bible was found in a family barn!

That said, Gellgirl, I think some of the family of my great aunt lived in Belton/Luddington areas, so there may be a connection!

Hi Kath,

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / WARDLE - Howden area - Help please!

Hi All,

One of my ancestors lived in Gilberdyke, near Howden East Yorks, and was unfortunately killed in an industrial accident at some creosote works in Staddlethorpe (which I think is near Gilberdyke).

His death occurred in 1907, when he was 'struck by a telegraph pole which was being lowered into a cylinder compound'.

I was wondering whether anyone could help me find out or point me in the right direction as to find out whether this incident was reported in any local newspapers?

Many thanks!

Hi all,

I've received from the OH's grandmother a page that I believe belonged in a family bible. Unfortunately, it is really delicate and in 7 pieces (the eighth missing) having being folded up for years

It reads:

JAMES SPARLING COOP
Born April 25 1845
Leathley Road Hunslet Lane
---------------------------------------

FRANCES AMELIA REBECCA DEUTSHMAN
Born April 9 1848
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Wife of James Sparling Coop
----------------------------------------

George Sparling Coop
Born March 27 1869
at 5 o'clock morning at Henbury Street, North Street

-----------------------------------------

James Deutshman Coop
Born Jan 17 1871
at 5 minutes to 10 in the morning at North Street
------------------------------------------
Sarah Rebecca Coop
Born June 21 1873
at twenty minutes to seven at Green Street, Cherry Row
------------------------------------------
Percy Adlophus Coop
Born December 7 1875
at 5 minutes to 6 in the morning at Boy and Barrel yard, Briggate Leeds
-------------------------------------------

[the next two names are missing; all that can be read is:

... 1878
... Barrell Yard Briggate
---------------------
... 1880
... & Barrell Yard

I think they refer to DENNIS DIXON COOP and THOMAS M COOP

------------------------------------------------

Arthur Coop
Born July 19 1884
at 27 Mushroom Street Newtown Leeds
-------------------------------------------------
Isaac Deutchman Coop
Born Jan 26 1887
at twenty seven Mushroom Street, Newtown Leeds
-----------------------------------------------

Hope that's of interest to someone. Arthur appears to be the only one without a middle name! :)

Family Bibles / BASSINDALE/BASSINGDALE - North Lincolnshire
« on: Tuesday 25 March 08 07:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I've got a bible belonging to the BASSINDALE/BASSINGDALE family.

The inscription in the front reads:

Samuell Bassingdale
East Butterwick
The gift of his mother
May 23 1859


Hannah K Bassindale
Ealand
The gift of her father
Mar 10 1874

And in the back it says:

Nancy Bassindale
Died Dec 6 1868
at Ealand
Aged 69 years and 10 months

[repeated in different handwriting]

Fanney Thorntton
Died Feb 9th 1870
Aged 62 years

John Bassindale died
January 6 and was buried
January 8 1880
aged 80 at a quarter past 4 in the morning

William Stanley died
May 9 and was buried
May 13

I haven't quite decihered the other two names; one is definitely 'Rebecca' -- although the surname is not clear -- who died January 14 1900, the other could read 'Johnrichard Elliott died March 1 and buried March 3'.

The bible was found in a barn of my great aunt, who lived in the Whitgift region of Yorkshire!

Hi

If Susannah was Clarissa's daughter - it means Clarissa was still alive in 1850 and still unmarried

Cheers Carole! Hmm, I guess the plot thickens! I've checked FreeBMD and a Susannah Maria Garner was born in the quarter of September 1850; in Thetford. I'll get a copy and  see if that helps.

ETA: If Susannah is Clarissa's, I wonder if Clarissa died in childbirth? Although I would have thought I could find a reference for her death certificate if so  :-\

Hi Carol,

Thanks for that! I'm not too sure about Susannah, as I've not had her birth certificate! It's quite possible that she belongs to Clarissa.

Augusta is Clarissa's daughter. Clarissa's parents are Joseph Garner (b. 1801, miller) and Elizabeth Everard (b. circa 1799)

In 1851, Edward is living with Clarissa's sister, Eleanor, and Elenor's husband Thomas Rice in Tuddenham.

Hi Iria,

That's so kind of you, thanks! I did already have that info though. But thanks once again.

Kind regards,

Claire

PS: Clarissa is part of this family from Tuddenham/Brandon/Thetford:

Joseph Garner m Elizabeth Everard
1. Eleanor b. 1822 (m. Rice)
2. CLARISSA b. 1824
3. Sarah Ann b. 1825 (m. Abrey)
4. Louisa b. 1827
5. Joseph b. 1828 (m. Martha Saunders)
6. George b. 1830
7. Emily b. 1831 (m. Wright)
8. Thomas Charles b. 1833 (m. Alice Chilton)
9. Hannah b. 1835
10. Elizabeth b. 1838
11. Susannah b. 1840
12. Augusta b. 1841

The two youngest girls, Susannah and Augusta, died fairly young and I'm assuming the Susannah and Augusta named in the 1851 census are named after them by their sibling/s.  :)
