Westmorland / Hugh HUGILL marriage ca 1675 and death ca 1707

« on: Thursday 01 January 15 15:41 GMT (UK) »

Hello
I hope someone can help me. I have a Hugh Hugill of Barnskew, Reagill in parish of Crosby Ravensworth, born probably 1652, having children between 1676 and 1695 and I think dying between 1702 and 1709. He was a maltster and had property in Appleby and possibly elsewhere. I've quite a few references to him.
I think he was married to Margaret and there is a Boyd's index to a marriage in Brough under Stainmore in 1675. Does anyone have access to the records to this parish? I also do not have his or his wife's burial which I would also like to find.
regards
Deborah

Antrim / Glenavy burial after 1832 of 'elderly grandmother' & GIBSONs of Carnkilly

« on: Monday 30 May 11 16:10 BST (UK) »

I hope someone can help me.

At the end of 1832 my great great grandfather (Thomas Gibson) was living with his grandmother in Carnkilly, Glenavy. I would really love to know the identity of this woman. She was described as being aged 85 in November 1832 and I am almost certain that she was a widow at that point. It is possible that she was Thomas' paternal grandmother and therefore might also be a Gibson but I strongly suspect that she was his maternal grandmother and I have no idea of her surname.

So it's a bit cheeky and a long shot but I'm looking for burials of elderly widows in Glenavy (not sure of church) between Nov 1832 and Apr 1836.

Thanks in advance
regards

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Christopher PICKERING 16th century CLEASBY

« on: Wednesday 06 May 09 17:30 BST (UK) »

Hello
I hope someone can help me. I have the copy of a will (dated ca 1542) of a Christopher Pickering who claims to be of Clesbie which I'm assuming is Cleasby. His will gives the following information:
- son Christopher
- daughters Winifred and Mary
- first wife buried at Coniscliffe, second wife having occupation of his lease of Clesbie for life
- brother John.

Can anyone tell me anything about this family?
regards

Hello
I hope someone can help me. I have a copy of a will of a Christopher Pickering who wanted to be buried in Coniscliffe (I think) church next to his first wife. I think the will dates from around 1542. I would like to know if there is any record of his burial or anything else about him.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / 1680 marriage for DODSWORTH & BAYLEY - ALFORD?

« on: Wednesday 25 February 09 09:53 GMT (UK) »

I hope someone can help.

I have made a note of a Lincolnshire marriage licence granted in 1680 for Robert DODSWORTH and Mary BAYLEY widow - marriage to take place in Alford or Well. I think I got this information from Family History Online but a) I can't check it because the site is closing down b) there may be other information that would be of interest.

I would be grateful if someone could confirm a) the details from the marriage licence itself b) where and when the marriage took place.
regards
Deborah
