Australia / Palman - Perth - Western Australia
« on: Thursday 18 June 15 05:45 BST (UK)  »
Helping out a friend with her research.

Trying to research a Palman family who moved to Perth Australia in the 1960s.

Specifically I wondered whether there was any information on these brothers:

Colin E Palman. Born 1928, Died 2012
Dudley Palman. Born 1922, died 1981. (I found a photo of his gravestone)

Many thanks

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Wigginton Parish Registers
« on: Friday 01 November 13 03:58 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone has access to the Wigginton Parish registers and would be very grateful if they would check the following:

The baptism of Thomas Gilbank on 8 Feb 1778, the son of John Gilbank and Mary

The marriage of John Gilbank and Elizabeth Tarpley   on 17 Mar 1781.

I would particularly like to know whether John was a widower when he married.

Also, are there any Gilbank burials on the NBI in the Sutton on Forest, Wigginton area between 1766 and 1800.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Baptisms at Ripon - Myers
« on: Thursday 07 February 13 06:25 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah Umpleby married David Myers at Ripon 2/12/1816. The 1841 census shows Sarah and David living in Allhallowgate, Ripon, with two children, Mary (17) and David (2). I am pretty sure that Mary and David both died young. David Myers was a dish turner.

I am hoping that someone with a copy of the Ripon PRs can check whether Sarah and David had any other children.

I think David died in 1870 and Sarah in 1872. But so far I have been unable to find Sarah in the 1871 census. (She was born in Rainton near Topcliffe about 1797) I wonder whether she might have been in the workhouse if there were no surviving children? Can anyone see any sign of her?

Thanks
Mary

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Baptisms at St Cuthbert, York
« on: Wednesday 06 February 13 13:30 GMT (UK)  »
The IGI shows that John and Abigail Gilbank had 7 children baptised at Saint Cuthbert, York between 1803 and 1820. The first was William on 28 Mar 1803. The last was Hannah on 1 Feb 1820.

Does anyone have access to a copy of the Registers? I would love to know whether there is any reference to John's occupation.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Hardcastle in 1851 and 1861
« on: Tuesday 06 September 11 15:26 BST (UK)  »
Hoping for a look up in the 1851 and 1861 censuses for Mary Hardcastle born 1825 in Fewston or Norwood (West Riding). Husband should be Thomas, a tanner. They were probably in Fewston in 1851 and possibly Leeds in 1861. I don't think there were any children that survived infancy.

« on: Thursday 18 March 10 07:44 GMT (UK)  »
I would be very grateful if someone could check the following LEEMING families for me in the 1841 census:


Mary Leeming aged 50+ together with Hannah Leeming aged 11. They were almost certainly in Horsforth. Both born Yorkshire.

Thomas Thompson Leeming with wife Mary, both aged about 30. Thomas was born Rawdon and Mary was born in Cookridge. He was a stonemason. Possible children are Elizabeth aged 3 and maybe a baby, Robert.

Completed Census Requests / Blackpool 1901
« on: Sunday 14 February 10 10:02 GMT (UK)  »
Am hoping someone can find me Robert and Hilda Hughes in the Blackpool area in 1901. Hilda was born Barnesbury near London  in 1879. I think Robert was born in Australia and they may have a baby daughter Elsie with the.  Don't know whether there is anyone else in the household.
