Hello all Yorks Rootschatters.......

Am trying to find the birth place of my 4x Gt.Grandmother Alice Richmond.
All i have so far are her burial records from the Candie Cem, Guernsey that give her age at death as 64 years 9mths and her birthplace as England.
She had married a Army Man....Thomas Bramwell, when or where we have not managed to find out except it was not on Guernsey.
He retired in 1814 returning for a short time to his birth place of Stockport,Cheshire before the family returned to Guernsey where they are both buried.
I have been given what may be the closest clue so far in the fact that a Alice Richmond was Baptised 2/11/1776 records say she was the daughter of  Leonard Richmond of Grassington (Innkeeper)..The birth year would be right for my Alice..........My Alice called her son Leonard (poss clue) and that name has carried on down the family for 3 generations.
Is there anyone out there that could tell me if the Grassington Alice Richmond, died..married and clues would help.......
Sorry for bending your ears so long......!
Best Wishes...............LancsLass

Hello All Yorkshire Rootschatters....

Am hoping to at least to dislodge a brick from this wall ! I am looking for a James Scott , thought.(!!) to( maybe)....have been born Huddersfield c1798/99

I have his marriage in Rochdale (when he gives a local Parish) have all census up to his death in 1865 (Oldham)
The trouble is his place of birth..

1841..When asked were born..he said Yes to Lancashire.
1851..He gave Huddersfield,Yorks.
1861..Budley, Worcs..!!

His age varied also, but seemed to have stayed around 1798/99 (his death certificate of February 1865 gave his age as 66 years.

To start the chipping away i have decided to start the search in the nearest stated birthplace..Huddersfield.........

Does anyone know of a family from the Huddersfield area around the 1790's with a son names James Scott.............Helppppp!

Many thanks ...........LancaLass.

Hi All....Perhaps someone with a fresh pair of eyes can help....
I have a Isabel Batty married Robert Alexander Keightley, Barrow in Furness 1887....
I have tried to find them in 1891, 1901 with no success..
In 1911 they are in Bolton, Lancashire.....Robert is 46 yrs of age a A C Supt (??) born Chatham,Kent.
Isabel is 42yrs..born Manchester..(correct) with them is a son Ernest Alexander Keightley aged 10 yrs born Cumberland,Millen (Millom is suspect)

But where are they in 1891 & 1901

Any of our Rootschat super sleuths help...?

Wonder if anyone can help with a transcription in Edinburgh..i have basic info but none that makes any sense...Is there anyone able to see this address and make sense of it for me..?

2 Oswald Rd. Edinburgh.

George Chaplin(H) 73 Gardener,Domestic.    b.Burnisland,
Ann Chaplin (dau) 44 Living on own means.  b.      "
Dona A Moss  (dau)    20 Annuitant Scholar.
James E Moss       21  Living on own means
Martha Moss (Grandmother) 67  Annuitant     b.England

Plus 6 servants...

The Moss named people i believe are Dora A Moss and her brother James E Moss      plus their Grandmother Martha Moss.
These 3 people are on the 1891 census at Ormelie,Edinburgh with Edward & Ellen Moss (parents of Dora & James)..Edward was a Theater owner...i can find no trace of him in 1901 (he died in 1912) or of Ellen. I have found 2 older brothers at School in London...who is George Chaplin..??
Certainly not the father of Dora & James..or their Grandfather..
Help.......!!!
I do not a access to Scotlands people since i have no other lines that originate there....would really appreciate any help from North of the Border...

Many thanks...LancsLass.
