Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / WARDLE - Howden area - Help please!
« on: Friday 28 March 08 21:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

One of my ancestors lived in Gilberdyke, near Howden East Yorks, and was unfortunately killed in an industrial accident at some creosote works in Staddlethorpe (which I think is near Gilberdyke).

His death occurred in 1907, when he was 'struck by a telegraph pole which was being lowered into a cylinder compound'.

I was wondering whether anyone could help me find out or point me in the right direction as to find out whether this incident was reported in any local newspapers?

Many thanks!

Family Bibles / COOP - Leeds, Yorkshire
« on: Tuesday 25 March 08 07:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've received from the OH's grandmother a page that I believe belonged in a family bible. Unfortunately, it is really delicate and in 7 pieces (the eighth missing) having being folded up for years

It reads:

JAMES SPARLING COOP
Born April 25 1845
Leathley Road Hunslet Lane
---------------------------------------

FRANCES AMELIA REBECCA DEUTSHMAN
Born April 9 1848
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Wife of James Sparling Coop
----------------------------------------

George Sparling Coop
Born March 27 1869
at 5 o'clock morning at Henbury Street, North Street

-----------------------------------------

James Deutshman Coop
Born Jan 17 1871
at 5 minutes to 10 in the morning at North Street
------------------------------------------
Sarah Rebecca Coop
Born June 21 1873
at twenty minutes to seven at Green Street, Cherry Row
------------------------------------------
Percy Adlophus Coop
Born December 7 1875
at 5 minutes to 6 in the morning at Boy and Barrel yard, Briggate Leeds
-------------------------------------------

[the next two names are missing; all that can be read is:

... 1878
... Barrell Yard Briggate
---------------------
... 1880
... & Barrell Yard

I think they refer to DENNIS DIXON COOP and THOMAS M COOP

------------------------------------------------

Arthur Coop
Born July 19 1884
at 27 Mushroom Street Newtown Leeds
-------------------------------------------------
Isaac Deutchman Coop
Born Jan 26 1887
at twenty seven Mushroom Street, Newtown Leeds
-----------------------------------------------

Hope that's of interest to someone. Arthur appears to be the only one without a middle name! :)

Family Bibles / BASSINDALE/BASSINGDALE - North Lincolnshire
« on: Tuesday 25 March 08 07:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I've got a bible belonging to the BASSINDALE/BASSINGDALE family.

The inscription in the front reads:

Samuell Bassingdale
East Butterwick
The gift of his mother
May 23 1859


Hannah K Bassindale
Ealand
The gift of her father
Mar 10 1874

And in the back it says:

Nancy Bassindale
Died Dec 6 1868
at Ealand
Aged 69 years and 10 months

[repeated in different handwriting]

Fanney Thorntton
Died Feb 9th 1870
Aged 62 years

John Bassindale died
January 6 and was buried
January 8 1880
aged 80 at a quarter past 4 in the morning

William Stanley died
May 9 and was buried
May 13

I haven't quite decihered the other two names; one is definitely 'Rebecca' -- although the surname is not clear -- who died January 14 1900, the other could read 'Johnrichard Elliott died March 1 and buried March 3'.

The bible was found in a barn of my great aunt, who lived in the Whitgift region of Yorkshire!

Norfolk / Clarissa Garner, b. 1824, Tuddenham (Suffolk)
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 20:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I'm struggling to track down CLARISSA GARNER b. 1824 in Tuddenham, Suffolk. I have located her in the 1841 census as living with her parents in Tuddenham, but from thereon -- nothing!

I have posted this in the Norfolk board because Clarissa definitely had at least two children (illegitimately) in Thetford (I've got the birth certificates for these). These are:

1. Edward Garner b. 1845
2. Augusta Garner b. 1847

I've searched all the resources I can think of on the internet, but no trace of Clarissa after Augusta's birth in 1847. No marriage or death record (although it could be that any parish record is not posted on the 'net yet). No index to be found on Free BMD... and so I'm now a bit stuck.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!
