Hi would be very grateful of any help that someone could give. I have just been in receipt of my friends Grandmothers Birth Cert. She was named Martha Cooper born in Dalkeith Scotland in 1886.
On her cert it states her parents George Cooper a Travelling Showman and his wife Elizabeth nee Eyre were married in Dec. in Sunderland. I have looked on all sites I can think of with nothing showing up. Can any one give me a clue where I am going wrong.
Yours in anticipation

Dumfriesshire / Martha Cooper - Dumfries shire
« on: Sunday 14 December 08 17:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hello I wonder if any one could please help or advise. I am looking for my friends Grandmothers birth. All we have is that she was born in Dumfries mentioned was Dalkeith So don't know if that is where or not. She was born October 28th Year is vague she died in 1968 aged about 81. She had a sister Lily surname Lishforth. I am assuming she died in England as I vaguely remember her when I was younger (long time ago) living in Oldham. My friend has lived in the US for 40 yrs and now resides in Italy. I am trying to help with Family Tree.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Lt James Denton Lee ,10th Manchesters
« on: Sunday 06 April 08 23:05 BST (UK)  »
Someone started an enquiry on the Manchester Regt forum regarding the man named above.

I have found this intriguing.
There is a memorial stone dedicated to his memory at Busk Wood, Little Langdale, Cumbria.
He died of wounds 22nd January 1918 , he is buried at Lister Lee Cemetery Halifax.           
I have checked the census for 1901 and found an 11 yr old boy as a resident scholar at The Orphange, Halifax. He was listed as born in Halifax.
On checking the 1891 census the first one of a boy born 1890 aged 1, comes up as a James L Lee but on checking actual census it is definitley a "D" not an  L.
This James is living with his father William Lee aged 28 and his mother Mary Lee she is aged 23. Wm is a grocer /greengrocer  born Shipley, and Mary is listed as a grocer manageress born Halifax. The address is a difficult one. 7 Coco H's (sp) between Northgate and Cross St, St John the Baptist Parish, Halifax.
I then found in 1889 a William Lee married a Mary Denton in Halifax.
I would love some help here, is it the same person? I am pretty sure it is. Why is there a Memorial Stone in Cumbria? is there a story out there. Could someone possibly see if there is an obituary in the paper in Halifax? How come he was in an orphanage if it is him? What happened to his parents ? Please if you can help in any way  I would really appreciate it.
most sincerely
