 Hi
I am struggling to locate information on  Anna  Hartley b 1889 Rastrick , the daughter of John Hartley and Clara Noble, after the 1911 census.
The 1911 shows her at 16 Crossley St Rastrick aged 22- occupation - elementary school teacher, with father John Hartley aged 56 and Step mother Sarah Anne Hartley (Dennison) aged 56.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Kindest regards Brian. ;)

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Anthony Abson b 1785 Wakefiedl- birth record
« on: Friday 31 May 13 16:09 BST (UK)  »
Anthony looks to have been born about 1785 according to the 1851 census.
I have found an entry for a Anthony Abson at odds with the census - but it looks to fit.
Name:  Anthony Abson
Mother:  Ruth Abson
Father:  Anthony Abson
Baptism:  27 Mar 1780 - Wakefield, All Saints
Vital:  27 Mar 1780 - Wakefield, All Saints, Yorkshire, England
I wonder if he did tell a bit of a fib about his age.
Any thoughts on this ?
Kindest regards Brian. ;)

Hi George Abson was b in Wakefield in 1808 died  Wakefield 1895.
The 1841 census shows his wife to be Called Sarah B 1811 East Ardsley- she died in Wakefield in 1902.
There first child  William Abson b 1834 In Stanley nr Wakefield, the second child Ann b 1839 Outwood. The 1841 shows George Abson to be a shoe maker.
I would very much like to locate the marriage, and Georges  origins.
As yet I have not been able to find ant detail on the familyseach .org site.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

Ireland / Edward Dean b 1838 Ireland and Wife Catherine b 1843 Ireland
« on: Sunday 12 May 13 11:09 BST (UK)  »
Edward Dean  shows up with Wife Catherine in Leeds on the 1871 Census- their first child is listed as Bridget - b 1861 Leads
The 1871/1881/1891 census - maintain the fact that Edward and Catherine were born in Ireland.
I have been unable to locate them on the 1861 census ,and have yet to locate a  marriage.
The only marriage I actually came across was in Dundalk in 1865
The marriage of a Edward Dean to Catherine Deery..
I would appreciate any guidance on this please., as to the best way forward.
I have been doing some work on a close  family friends  family tree, and I am afraid he might need to get his wallet out to purchase their daughter  Bridget Deans birth certificate, which should prove useful- she sadly died in 1881 in Leeds.
Kind regards Brian. :)

Could some kind soul have a look at the 1841 census image and give me there opinion  of the listed Christan name of Williams father (Benjamin Hardy )? b 1801Yorkshire - file cutter, the census image is poor.
William Hardy(Benjamin's) son is listed as Wm Hardy b 1821
I would like to progress the research further  regarding Williams Father and Mother.
Any guidance would be well received.

« on: Thursday 14 February 13 13:48 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a major brickwall with my 4 x great grandfather- David Hartley b 1772 Ovenden.
I am aware he was a none conformist,He married Sarah Whitley at St Johns Halifax on 10/07/1791.
I am aware his father was called David,there seem to be links to the Ovenden,Wheatley and Illingworth area to the family.
Could some kind soul suggest how I might progress further with my search for David's Parentage.
I know I have asked about this previously,but I would love to be pointed in the right direction.
Kind regards Brian. :)
