Thank you Annie. Yes the convict records are confusing and difficult to work out. Thanks for the death details

Hi
The King family were all baptised/buried in Howden Minster (CofE) so as far as I am aware the family are not RC. "My" Thomas King also had an alias Thomas Riley

Claire, suggests that I need to find the actual Richard Gibson, Birth Register entry. Only the B.T.s are online and those B.T.s covering Richard Gibson birth year are missing. Now if a Newcastle area Register showed Richard Gibson's Mother was nee Pearson (all spellings) or Cook, that would begin to tip the balance.
Happy New Year All
I know I've not been greatly active for a while, although still following and chipping-in occasionally, from the Selby Dade Register of the baptism of Richard Gibson's children, Richard's mother was ELIZABETH BROWN - or have I missed something in one of the posts....

Married by Licence. On the marriage entry is indicates Mary is a widow (both of "this parish") and one of the witnesses was Edward Lowis
Hope that snippet helps.

Agree Dobfarm. I have an "illegitimate" agricultural labourer. As an adult he became pals with the local schoolmaster, and after work on an evening had lessons. He then became a schoolmaster. Seizing an opportunity in business he became a book keeper in a brewery and ended-up being the managing director and amassed great wealth. He went on to be an Overseer of the Poor, and the only Mayor of Sheffield ever elected three consecutive terms. His obituary described him as "an architect of his own fortune". He never forgot his humble beginnings though. Am I proud of him, yeh!

« on: Wednesday 11 October 17 12:10 BST (UK) »If the new WYAS register of deeds office system, still has the memorial actual deeds books on a shelf separate from Deeds index books (Which are big in their own right, accessed by the public, sometimes put back in no particular order or willy nilly) and main deeds. Then it may be easier to go straight to the deeds memorial books ! if the system is the same in their new modern purpose built state of the art building in Wakefield. (Modern way of wanting to tamper or change things by the chap or person !! with 'a new idea' but in reality has 'no idea'suggest it will be different
)
When I was on a visit to the new WYAS building a couple of weeks ago, the Deeds Index Books are in the open public part of the research room, you have to order the Deeds Books in advance to be taken out of storage and then you're let into the "secure" research room.

In 1851 George Pearson was living with wife and son in Hambleton. He was Commercial Traveller. He gives his birth as Aberford (abt 14 miles from Selby). There's a baptism in 1791 in Aberford giving his parents as Thomas (Farmer) and Sarah
