Yorkshire (West Riding) / Pollie (Mary Elizabeth} Thorpe nee Holt
« on: Monday 29 June 20 13:19 BST (UK)  »
A few years ago I visited the cemetery near Worsborough to find the grave of my great Aunty Pollie . I did not find it but saw her mother's and father's ,David and Anne E Holt, which was well attended. I am assuming therefore that some relative is caring for it.
I am looking for a way of getting a photograph of Aunty Pollie so I am hoping that some one in the family uses Roots chat and can help.
I am Dorothy Ford daughter of Marjorie Lucas nee Peet whose mother, Alice Peet, was the sister of Henry Thorpe, Aunty Pollie's husband.

I cannot find him on the 1901 census but was obviously in Worsbro in 1911
Any later info on his family ie children, death will be appreciated

England / Augustus Treu
« on: Sunday 19 October 14 13:40 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help with details of Augustus True who was born in Germany about 1811.  He came to Dewsbury probably after 1841 ( cannot find him on the census) and before 1851 when he was on the census with a wife Jane Elizabeth.  I can find no marriage and therefore no maiden name.  Descendants moved to Doncaster where my friend and her father Percival Theodore were born.
