Hertfordshire Lookup Requests / Look up help please: John Geeves b1771
« on: Monday 27 August 12 23:32 BST (UK)  »
I've checked all the sites I can think off but am unable to find birth/baptism record for John Geeves or record for his marriage to Mary also born 1771. Please could anyone help with a look up in St Albans or Redbourn or Hertfordshire records.

John and Mary had a son, James, in 1790.

Thank you

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Advice please: What am I not seeing?
« on: Monday 20 August 12 23:27 BST (UK)  »
Michael Bielby born 1745 (in Yorkshire, to Peter Bielby and Mary Sampler) is shown in a number of publically available family trees as being married to a Mary. As it is in mine. I have been trying to identify Mary's last name and have come up against a brick wall.

I originally traced back to Michael (born 1745) through his Grandaughter Martha Bielby (1826-1910), his son Michael Bielby (1781 - 1846 ) who married Mary Bell in 1806.

I have tried all manner of searches to find Mary's maiden name. I can find no marriage details for this particular Michael Bielby and Mary. I have also run checks on all the possible Mary's (wide age range and geography) and checked to see who they might have married.

The only wedding I have found for a Michael Bielby of about the right age and likely geography is one to Elizabeth Witty in 1778 in Hungate, Yorkshire. However I cannot find offspring of this union, and Michael Bielby's (1781 - 1846) mother is shown as Mary in christening records.

For many generations the family lived in and around Malton/Settrington and their is little indication they travelled much beyond this area.

Can anyone see what I might be missing?

Thank you

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Look up request: George Bush dob 1826-1830

Please can anyone suggest where I might look to find out what my Gt, Gt Grandfather did to end up in the Tynemouth Union in 1851 at the age of 15. I have the census record for this year where he is described as "Mason/Prisoner". George was born in Morpeth, possibly Bedlington. Can anyone help or look up records if they are aware of such records.

Thank you


Liz
