Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / mysterious
« on: Monday 30 November 09 11:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, Wonder if anyone can help.  In one of my trees I have a marriage certificate for a Ann Simpson married to William Slingsby in Sheffield 1860.  Her father is named as Thomas Simpson a scale cutter. Thinking to trace anne simpsons family I sent for her birth certificate which has just arrived.  This is where the mystery starts.  Her mothers name is given as Mary Ann Simpson but the name, and occupation of the father has got a line through it. Making me think that she was illigitimate.  The date was may 1839. I can only think that her mother and father when they eventually married both had the same surname. But looking through the marriages on free bmd from 1939 onwards cant find a marriage for them.  I found a marriage for a Mary Ann Simpson and a Thomas Anderson in Knaresbrough in 1939 but obvously that can,t be them.  Does anyone have any other explanation for this?  Many thanks Pat       :-\    Hope this makes sense.

I am looking for some information on Tabitha Lodge.  All I know is she was born in Rotherham and I have two dates for her birth off igi:  1768 and 1771.  No parents names listed.  Also I know she married Robert Wheatley in Rotherham in 1789.  I would like to find her parents names and/or siblings. I appreciate this is not much to go on but hey I am clutching at straws.  Many thanks, Pat

I am looking for a Mary Ann Lee in the 1871 census.  I have her in all the others but can,t find her in this one.  She should also have a daughter with her named Ann born C1870.  Mary herself was born C1850 in Sheffield and in the other census,s she was in Sheffield.  On her marriage certificate in 1865 she gives her age as 22yrs which conflicts with her ages in the census,s.  According to the age of her in the census,s she would have only been 15yrs old when she married.( Can,t really understand this).   In the 1871 census her husband was lodging at a residence in Halifax as he was a journeyman plasterer.  Heeeeeeeeelp please, Regards Pat  COMPLETED

I have come across an ancestor who married twice.  His first wife died very young and he remarried again 3yrs after her death.  On the second marriage certificate his condition is described as a bachelor.  Would he not have been described as a widower?  Or does this put the first marriage in doubt?  Regards Pat      COMPLETED WITH THANKS

Can anyone recommend (or not) the website.  The genealogist.com.  Have just come across it today and as it is a paying site I just wondered if anyone knows anything about it as I don,t mind paying if its worth it, but don,t want to throw money away.
