Good evening
I'm wanting to look at the 1841 census pages for the High Street Hull. I'd like to see if I can spot two of my relatives who may have lived there. When they married on 22 August 1841 the male (John Thompson) says he lived at 4 High St Hull and the female (Lois Heaton or Hayton) on the "same street". When I do searches in Ancestry for either of them they do not appear and yet the census was only a couple of months earlier. This is why I'd like to go through the record, page by page for the High Street.
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you!

I am trying to find the burial place of my paternal great grandparents, John Thompson (1879 - 1973) and Lily (Lilly) Thompson (1879 - 1957).
They lived in Crowle Lincolnshire. I have visited St Oswald's Church in Crowle but there are relatively few headstones. Also, although I was quite young, I was present at John Thompson's burial in 1973 and St Oswald's just doesn't look like the place I attended (both he and his wife died in Crowle).
Any help from local records would be much appreciated!

Hi

Been off Rootschat for some time.

I have been researching the life of Evangeline Laugharne. I've got to her death on 17th December 1908 at 9 Otley Rd, Shipley West Yorkshire but it is a strange death (fractured skull falling off a ladder whilst whitewashing in the middle of winter). There was an inquest (the very next day but many miles away in Pontefract, which seems rather unusual). How do I get access to the papers from the inquest (I can't see an option on ancestry).

As ever, thank-you for any help

I have many questions on this relative of mine and his close family!

I cannot find a record of his birth, but I know he married Lois Hayton on 22 August 1841.  They both lived on High St, Hull.  Any help with his birth details would be gratefully received.

Subsequently it appears that he and Lois moved to Thorne.  However, in the 1851 census Lois was now living in Thorne and married to William Bottom but had two children with her being Jacob Thompson (born abt 1845 in Hull) and John Thompson (born abt 1848 in Thorne).  In the marriage certificate she is shown as Lois Thompson (Widow).  I can find no record of his death yet this must have occurred somewhere between 1847 and the end of 1849 for her to marry again in June 1850. Any help would be great.

Then we have the two kids - Jacob born 1845 in Hull and John born 1848 in Thorne.  I am completely unable to find any baptism or birth record for these two.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi

I am researching John Booth and his family and his wife who I believe was Hannah Lee.

According to IGI a John Booth was born in Kirkheaton on 23 Nov 1806 and christened on 28 Dec 1806.  His parents were Thomas Booth and "Betty".  John and Hannah were married in Kirkheaton I think but they seemed to subsequently live in Hepworth nr New Mill.

First question, does anyone have access to any information on Thomas and Betty (e.g. Betty's maiden name and when they were married). 

Second question - I can find no information on Hannah Lee.  I have deduced that her surname is "Lee" from IGI but I can't find any record of her birth or the identity of her parents.  From the 1841 census I believe she was born around 1811.  There is a possibility that her maiden name was Wagstaffe as the grandmother of her son Benjamin is Elizabeth Wagstaffe (in 1851 Ben is staying with her and her daughter Eunice).

Then on to the interesting stuff.  Both John and Hannah seem to disappear after about 1847 (they have 7 children in the period 1830 to 1847: Walker, William, Ann, Eliza, John, Jonas and Benjamin but by the 1851 census they are all staying with other people.

Third question, what happened to John and his wife Hannah?

Any info would be very welcome!
