The Common Room / Help with finding grandad.
« on: Friday 16 February 18 16:02 GMT (UK) »
I have been trying without success to trace what happened to my maternal grandfather......my mum never spoke about her dad. I sent for his and my grandmas marriage certificate and a lady on here kindly found a piece in a newspaper about him stealing some ham from his employer, other than that I can't find his death certificate or any other trace of him. His name was Richard Barry Born 1877, fathers name Thomas, married my grandma Mary Jane Dalby 26thDec 1913 in St Mary's Church Bradford.

Left America between 1891-1894 for England and ended up in Leeds where he married Rose Hearn in 1912. I can trace him living in Leeds but prior too that I don't have the recourses, can anyone help please.

The Common Room / 7 times Great Grandad
« on: Monday 27 February 17 17:29 GMT (UK) »
I am at the moment researching my late dads side of the family. I have found some dates on my 7 times great granddad Thomas Hornby, he was Born 1617 in Kirkham, Lancashire, Died 14th June 1671 in Wyre, Orkney, Scotland. He married Elizabeth Dicconson in 1640, She was Born in 1620 Died 1657. As far as I know they had 1 son Thomas Hornby Born 1643 Died 1700.
I have not been able to find out anymore information, why or how Thomas senior ended up in Scotland. Does anyone have any ideas how I'd go about researching his death, i'v not dealt with outside of England before.
Thanks

The Common Room / Search For Grandad
« on: Sunday 04 September 16 16:12 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me, I have tried with no success to trace my maternal granddad. My grandma died in 1958 when I was 5, and my late mum just said her dad died years ago and his name was Richard, that's as much as I got from her. My granddads name was Richard Barry, he married my grandma Mary Jane Dalby in ?? I know from the 1911 census my grandma was 24, still single and living at home with her mum and sister, so she must have married after then, but doesn't say where. Prior to that on the 1901 she was definitely with them living in Lower Wortley Leeds. My aunt was Born in 1914 my mum in 1919, so my grandparents must have married between 1911 and 1913/14. Iv not been able to find any trace of him at all, and know nothing accept his name and he was down as deceased on my grandmas death certificate. Appreciate any help.
