Yorkshire (West Riding) / Robin Hood Inn
« on: Friday 18 August 23 18:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,

I have discovered that an ancestor was running a pub called The Robin Hood Inn at Hepston, Yorkshire on the 1939 register. I have looked at maps around the area and found two pubs of that name, but they are both further out of where I think Hepston is/was. The ones I see are in Hebden, is this the same place due to the boundary being extended? I'm a little confused and would appreciate any help in locating the Robin Hood Inn that was in Hepston. Any info welcome, thank you,

Northamptonshire / Quaker Records
« on: Monday 17 July 17 12:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I've been researching my 6 x Great Grandfather...Joseph Johnson from Great Houghton. Through finding a baptism and marriage for his daughter, Hannah, I discovered that he was a Quaker. Hannah was baptised the day before her wedding (presumably so that she could get married). Now I am stuck...I believe Joseph's wife's name was Elizabeth (From the birth record of Hannah and her siblings), but can't find a marriage for them or a birth record for Joseph. Hannah was born on 22 Nov 1749 at Great Houghton...Baptised on 23 May 1773...Married on 24 May 1773 to Thomas Pike. I would love to go further back, so any help would be most appreciated, please, thank you,

London and Middlesex / Coroner's report
« on: Sunday 16 April 17 19:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I have found a burial record for Leonard Barginall, 24 Sep 1793, St John of Wapping, Middlesex,
Tower Hamlets. At the side of the entry, it says, "Drowned Coroner's Warrant.
Would a copy of the report still exist and if so, is there any way that I could see it? Any help would be much appreciated,

Mary

London and Middlesex / London Workhouse Records
« on: Monday 13 March 17 23:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I have recently found out that there are 4 records in the London England Workhouse Admission & Discharge Records 1659-1930 pertaining to my ancestors Caroline Eliza Barginall, Caroline Barginall and Eliza Barginall on Ancestry.co.uk. At present I do not have a subscription with Ancestry, but was wondering if it would be worth subscribing to get access to them. What information would I get from them? I'd appreciate any thoughts or info please, thank you,

Northamptonshire / Geyton Deaths

Hi All,

I have two sisters, Emma Jane Geyton & Ida Elizabeth Geyton, who seem to have died at the same time.
Emma Jane jul qtr 1877 3b 19
Ida Elizabeth jul qtr 1877 3b 20

Other than getting their death certificates, is there any other way I can find out what happened. Is it possible to look at old newspapers online?

Thanks,
