Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Marriage of Laura Corney around 1907-08
« on: Sunday 21 April 19 10:39 BST (UK)  »
On the 1911 Census I found Laura Evelyn Bailey (aged 23, born in Leeds, Yorks) together with Fred Bailey (aged 32, born in Birmingham) and it states she was married for 3 years and had had a child but it had died.  Laura was a dancer and Fred was an actor.  I am unable to find any trace of a marriage for Fred Bailey & Laura Corney.  I did discover that Laura had a son John Leslie Bailey in Leeds in 1919 but on his birth certificate no father is shown - I understand from members of his family that Fred Bailey was badly gassed during the first world war and was in a nursing home for several years after the war.  Can anyone help me find their marriage record?

Lancashire Lookup Requests / John Moore born circa 1861 in Bolton, Lancs.
« on: Friday 15 September 17 15:12 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a Moore family and have a John Moore, who married Elizabeth Flynn in St. Albans Catholic Chapel, Blackburn on 12 July 1878 - John was just 17 and Elizabeth 18.  John Moore's father was Adam Moore, a Carter.  On the 1881 census they are living in Blackburn with their first child John Thomas Moore (1).  Strangely, John Moore is stated as born in Scotland but on subsequent censuses (1891, 1901 & 1911) it states Bolton, Lancs. I've been unable to locate John on earlier censuses (1861 or 1871),& nor have I found his father Adam Moore.
Can anybody help me find the birth/baptism of John Moore and the marriage of his parents?

Kent Lookup Requests / George Hill born circa 1837-38 in Herne Bay
« on: Thursday 14 September 17 13:57 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to research a Hill family and am stuck on George Hill who was born around 1837-38 in Herne Bay, Kent.  He appears on the 1861 census aged 23, a carpenter living in Northfleet together with his parents William (47, born in Plymouth) & Sarah (38, born Herne, Kent) Hill and a younger sister Sarah (14, born Herne Bay, Kent).  I think they are also on the 1851 census but William Hill's age and place of birth are not compatible - it shows Wm Hill, aged 30 (place of birth 'not stated' but ditto mark suggests St. Pancras, Middx.), Sarah Hill, aged 27 born Camberly, Kent (could mean Canterbury) plus George Hill, aged 14 plus a brother Alfred, aged 10 both born in Herne, Kent.  Can anybody find a birth/baptism for George Hill and also the marriage of his parents William & Sarah?

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Marriage of Alexander Davison to Elizabeth?
« on: Monday 21 November 16 16:35 GMT (UK)  »
Alexander Davison was baptised 18 Feb 1787 in Lowick and his father was also Alexander and his mother was an Elizabeth.  Can anybody find a marriage for Alexander Davison & Elizabeth ? - or was Alexander, like his son James Davison also born out of wedlock.

I am still researching the Davison family and as previously mentioned on earlier look-up request I have a James Davison who was baptised 1 May 1813 in Bamburgh.  This baptism entry tell me his parents were Alexander Davison & Ann Murray.  I believe Alexander Davison was born around 1787 and baptised in Lowick whilst Ann Murray was born in 1784 and baptised in Foulden, Berwickshire. 
 Can anyone help me find their marriage?  Many thanks.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / John & Mary Ann Richardson - 1861 Census
« on: Wednesday 16 November 16 11:47 GMT (UK)  »
I aqm researching a Richardson family and have a John Richardson, born 1832 in Belford (Illegitimate son of Elizabeth Richardson with father declared as baptism as Ralph Laidler), who went on to marry Mary Ann Ford in 1853 in Morpeth district.  On the 1871 Census I have John (aged 39) & Mary Ann (aged 40) Richardson living at Netherton Colliery, Bedlington with 6 children but I cannot find the family on the 1861 census where they should be with at least 3 children Mary Ann (3), John (1) & Elizabeth (less than one year).  Also, I cannot identify John Richardson o0n the earlier 1841 & 1851 censuses.  Can any one offer any suggestions?

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / John Wilson - born/baptised 1820
« on: Tuesday 11 October 16 11:15 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a Wilson family and have an entry on www.familysearch.org of the baptism of a John Wilson on 10 Mar 1820 with parents Joseph & Sarah Wilson.  This entry is taken from the 'England and Wales Non-Conformist Record Indexes and doesn't specify where the baptism took place - I believe it was in West Riding of Yorkshire as John Wilson went on to marry Martha Sutcliffe on 21 Mar 1845 in Heptonstall.
Can anyone help me to find out where he was baptised? and I also need the marriage of his parents Joseph & Sarah. Many thanks

Lancashire Lookup Requests / William Seal or Seale circa 1829, Salford
« on: Sunday 02 October 16 11:04 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a Seal or Seale family and I am trying the marriage of a William Seal & Ann ? - they were the parents of a William Seal who was baptised 10 May 1829 in Manchester Collegiate Church.  On the 1841 census I found young William Seal (aged 12) with his mother Ann Seal (aged 50) in Salford.  Again, on the 1851 census, William Seale, albeit transcribed by Ancestry as 'Leale', (aged 22) was still living with his mother Ann (aged 67, a widow) in Salford.
Can any one help me find a marriage record for William's parents and also were there any siblings?
Many thanks.
