Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / birth look up in Thirsk please
« on: Sunday 10 November 13 20:43 GMT (UK)  »
My great-great grandmother, Charlotte Crowe, was born about 1857 in Thirsk, Hull.

Her mother Jane Maria Munford b.1830 married Henry Crowe b.1835 in Norwich, Norfolk in 1853. They had a son Henry b.1855.

Jane and Henry were both born in Norwich as were at least 2 generations before them. I cannot find any family connections to Hull or work out why Jane may have gone to Hull to have Charlotte.

However there are more twists to the tale. In 1861 Jane is in Norwich, as Housekeeper to a John Bayes who is listed as father to both Charlotte and Henry jnr. In 1871 Jane and John are married and Charlotte is listed as born in Norwich.

Could someone look up Charlotte's birth for me please? Could she have been born in Thirsk Workhouse?

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Jacob and Margaret Robinson
« on: Monday 05 September 11 18:06 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find Jacob Robinson b. about 1826 in Norwich, married Margaret Bridges (b. 1831) in 1947.

I have their marriage certificate  -  ages for both given as 'minor,' however, there is no father's name/occupation for Jacob.

I have them on Census for 1861/71/81/91/01  but cannot find them before their marriage when it may be possible to get the names of Jacob's parents.

many thanks Gill
