Derbyshire / John Toothill baptism at Hathersage
« on: Friday 12 December 14 21:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a brickwall please. One of my ancestors was John Toothill who was born circa 1742. He married in Sheffield in 1769. I am almost certain that he had a brother named Richard Toothill who married in Sheffield in the same year. They both had children and lived their lives in Sheffield. From what i can work out the two Toothill brothers look like they were from Hathersage. Richard baptized in 1741 to Richard and Rachel. My problem lies with John. There is a John baptized in Hathersage with the same parents in 1740 but he also appears in the burial register not long after. I was wondering if the couple had another John but his baptism for some reason i cannot find. From his burial record his age adds up to him being born circa 1742 so it could be possible that they had another John after having Richard.
Hope i haven't confused you.
Any help much appreciated

Thanks
Richard

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Anybody visiting Borthwick Institute in York?
« on: Tuesday 09 September 14 21:08 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I was wondering if anyone was visiting the Borthwick Institute in York and would possibly look me up a marriage license for me please?
Benjamin Ridgway and Hannah Toothill marriage by license at the Sheffield Cathedral St Peter & St Paul on the 7th April 1793. I was hoping the marriage license may hold some more important information (especially on Benjamin who i am unable to trace).

Thankyou

Northamptonshire / Anyone visiting Northamptonshire Records Office?
« on: Thursday 28 August 14 12:50 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I was hoping someone may be going to the Northamptonshire records office and would possibly look me something up while they were there.
My ancestor George Crowden died in Uppingham in 1828 and he left a will. I actually know the reference needed for it which is (PWill, R2, Box 13, page 130). What I am looking for is to know if he mentions his son William in the will.
I would be extremely grateful for any help.
Thankyou

Sussex / Fosier/Foster from Rye
« on: Monday 25 August 14 01:41 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I was hoping that someone may be able to help me with this please.
My ancestor was Sarah Fosier or Foster. She married Thomas Gasson in 1773 and then Richard Frost in 1783. She died in 1839 aged 94 (all this happened in Rye in Sussex). I found what i think may be her baptism in 1745 in Rye but i'm after a bit of proof to confirm it is her. I noticed that there is another Sarah Fosier marrying in Rye in 1767 to Robert Smith (how do i confirm this is not the Sarah that was baptized in 1745 which i think is mine?). Does anyone have access to the marriages in Rye to see who the witness's were to both of Sarah's marriages please, i am hoping this may give me some clues as to who her family is.
Hope i haven't confused anyone. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

« on: Sunday 10 August 14 10:30 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. One of my ancestors was George Crowden who lived in Uppingham in Rutland and died there in March 1828. I know that he left a will due to a newspaper article. I is also listed in the death duty index. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the will please?
Thanks

Kent / John Newton & Sarah marriage help please
« on: Saturday 02 August 14 17:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I am currently stuck on a marriage for one of my ancestors and was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
On of my ancestors was Martha Newton who was born in Chart Sutton in Kent in 1765. Her parents are listed as John Newton and Sarah. I did find a couple of other baptisms for children to a couple named John and Sarah but one was in Milton next sittingbourne in 1769 and the other in Hucking in 1772 so i'm not sure if these are related.
I have a feeling that John may die before 1790 because there is a Sarah Newton who is a widow marrying Moses Hopper in Chart Sutton in 1790.
I am trying to trace the marriage of John Newton and Sarah but i am struggling finding a link to the right couple.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thankyou
Rich

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Burials of George and Judith Hill
« on: Saturday 12 July 14 23:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I was hoping someone may be able to help me find the burials of my ancestors George and Judith Hill please.
George was born in the 1750's  and Judith was born in 1758 in Worsbrough. They married at Tankersley (where Judith's parents resided). They then lived in Wath Upon Dearne from 1788 to 1793. They then moved to Sheffield and that is where i think they may have died but i have looked at the national burial index cd, searched the Sheffield burials and online but without any luck.
What i do know is that George was a Tanner. They had their last child John in Sheffield in 1802 and George appears on son Benjamin's apprenticeship record in Sheffield Cutlers records in 1811 which doesn't state abode which usually means he was living in Sheffield.
I would have thought Judith would have been a bit easier to trace but i am really struggling.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Rich
