My, My  you have all been very busy!  There is a lot of information here for me to digest. I will have to contact a distant family member to find out about births to Richard and Mary for me. He lives not to far from the Leeds Library where he check the registers.

I would like to request those details that you found Ady as Thomas was Richard's 2nd cousin.

Does anyone know when the 1st Bn West Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales Own) was shipped out to France?

I too have not been able to locate either Richard or his wife Mary on the 1911 census.

Thank you all for the wonderful input

Many thanks everyone for all your replies, it was worth a try.

Richard Alderwick married Mary Hudson, my next task to find out if they had any children in the short time they were together.

Hi all

Just thought that an update would be in order.

I contacted someone on the England Kent List that I subscribe to and was given a couple of email contacts.

I contacted Dover Council and today got a reply.

It is confirmed that Maria Elizabeth PRESCOTT is buried at St Mary Virgin, Dover, plot TF5

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Where Buried?
« on: Sunday 14 June 09 23:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi Pauline

The couple were residing in Beech Grove Terrace in Garforth, Yks. 

However, I know they are not there as my mum before she passed away had checked there.  She did however, locate their sons Fred (with his son Joseph), Joseph and Walter who were both killed in the Micklefield Colliery Disaster.

So my question really should be are there any other graveyards in the Garforth area?

Regards

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Smithies surname
« on: Saturday 13 June 09 13:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello Mike

I have SMITHIE ancestors from Yorkshire dating approx to 1791.  I have not once yet come accross their surname being transcribed as Smith.  I have only once had the surname transcribed as SMITHEY.

My SMITHIE's originate from Rimington, Hellifield, Ripon, Barley and Settle in Yorkshire and in Fleetwood, Lancs.

Regards

Anita
