Angela, I agree with Emley1786's statement - there is a lot of very inaccurate information posted on family history web sites. People also make mistakes - read nemley's post on 28th January, 2011 above.
Let us know if you order the birth certificate and what information it contains.

Hello Angela and welcome to Rootschat.

Please understand life was different in the late 1800s, there was very little mobility so people tended to stay in the village where they were born; families were large so people were often inter-related and very close knit.

There was no contraception and illegitimate babies were not uncommon and they could quite easily have been given a different surname in the census to disguise the illegitimacy. Women died in childbirth so the father gave the baby away because he couldn't look after it, again possibly resulting in a different surname.

All of us conducting our family history cannot assume and jump to conclusions, we have to have documentary evidence.

Emley1786 says Elizabeth was born on 14th August, 1897 but you say 1898 - what evidence do you have for 1898?

Angela, Emley1786 and I would be more than willing to help but we cannot do so without any input from you.

Did you by any chance marry a Mr Peel in 1970?

Emley1786 is, of course, correct - the only direct Scargill link is the marriage of Thomas Scargill on 28th July, 1860 at St Michael's Church in Emley.

If your Grandmother was Elizabeth A. Hill, she married Edgar Scargill in 1918 and they had two - possibly three - children, I am not sure about Muriel born in 1931 as she is ten years after Reginald.

The birth of an Elizabeth Ann Hill was registered in Wakefield in 1891 and the birth of an Elizabeth Ann Hill was registered in Wortley in 1897 - but I am only guessing one of these is your Grandmother - maybe the latter.

If you let us know what you are trying to find out then we can help.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Kilner in Denby and a 1841 census look up please

Hello
I am also in contact with Elizajan.
Richard Denton Scholes is not a blood relative so I have not researched his ancestors. My interest is in the Kilners and I do have a lot of information on them.
I shall do what I can to help.

Hello
I have no information on later generations. However, if you can obtain a birth certificate for James Richard Scholes then I shall be able to place him in the family.

Interestingly, Thomas Kilner Scholes was a policeman in Bendigo.

All my MORTONs are from the Holmfirth area.

There are many very generous and helpful people on this message board if you have a specific question. The best way to do this would be a new post.

Hello Mortar

I now live near Nottingham so, no, I have not seen gravestones at St Mary's Church in Elland.

London and Middlesex / Re: Adopted son - help with WWII Fireman please

I have contacted the Records Services at the London Fire Brigade and the London Metropolitan Archives; neither of whom were able to help.

It looks like a dead end, I am afraid.
