Enquiring for a friend. Family member Emma Jane Midgley born Keighley 1870 and died 14 Nov 1940 at High Royds Hospital Menston. My friend would like to find her burial place and has looked at burial records for the High Royds Burial ground, and for the cemeteries at Utley (Keighley), Morton (Keighley) and Oakworth (Keighley).  Might be cremation, but not sure how to access records and would welcome any suggestions  and advice  Many thanks

Canada / Conflicting immigration information- any help appreciated Onboard romance!
« on: Monday 29 April 19 13:27 BST (UK)  »
I have two conflicting sources of info for an immigration from UK to Canada , and would be grateful if anyone could confirm which might be the correct one. A romantic story ! JOHN LAMB and CATHERINE JONES who eventually went to Etobicoke in Ontario.  John from Yorkshire UK was born 1867, but gave birthdate 1865 so he could marry (as being over 21yrs) ; he kept this date for the rest of his life.  I do have his birth and baptism in UK. (my gt granduncle)   John married Catherine Jones from Wales and they met on board ship (I presume)  I was advised of one voyage on SS British Queen from Liverpool, arriving NYork 1/8/87. Recently I have been given another voyage for John Lamb in 1887 on SS Sarnia arriving Halifax N Scotia . Not sure which is correct                                                                                                               
  Would be most grateful if anyone could find John Lamb and Catherine Jones  -thank you

Canada / John and Nancy Wilson farmers possibly to Manitoba after 1892?
« on: Sunday 17 April 16 17:16 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for John Wilson b 1859 Lancashire and his wife Nancy b 1856 Lancashire (although in some census in UK her birthplace is shown as Yorkshire) They married in 1892 as widowers and then seem to have disappeared from records in UK.  I have found a google article about John's father (Michael Wilson) which says he helped two of his sons to set up in Manitoba. ( Many of Nancy's birth family (Hird)  emigrated to Ontario though) Would very much appreciate any help to see if they did in fact come to Canada probably before 1901. Thank you

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Is anyone else having problem with ancestry new format?
« on: Friday 18 December 15 19:04 GMT (UK)  »
I have ancestry uk membership (subs abt £100pa)  ,but recently unable to look at other shared public tree photos etc  ) Since the format of ancestry has changed in fact.  Have installed googlechrome , as advised when I phoned the helpline but still this does not enable me to look at other images etc.    Not very computer literate, but wish to update computer programmes that would be required to look at, and share all ancestry documents.  My last phone call to the help line were less than helpful!  - and would be grateful for any help as to how to proceed                     Many thanks
