Hi

I think the death of Elizabeth Lunn in Woodhouse is correct  As mentioned
they lived in the Woodhouse area of Leeds.
Dont know why we cannot find Abraham in death so maybe he moved away
after Elizabeth died and could have gone to his part of Yorkshire near Snaith?

I noticed that there is a 18 year gap in baptisms in the Snaith register from
1790 until 1808 which of course just cuts out your Abraham in the register.
Shame.

p.s. Moderator - Could you please put this reply to the post. I was relooking at
something for only about 10 minutes and was timed out and its put a new post
on when it was just a reply?/

Had a query from a friend and she was trying to find out if anyone knew about a group from Derby who in 1966 were called Debbie and the Debannaires.
Anyone from the Derbyshire area could help I can pass the information on.
Thanks for any assistance

Hi all,
Not been on the Scottish site before but looking for some help and advice.
I am researching my ex's family for my son as I want it to be a present for
his 40th birthday this year.
I need to know who the parents of John Brown McAllister b 1921 and I
think it was Forth, Lanarkshire although the family story goes that it
was Stirling, so dont know which is correct.  I think it was on the 6th March.
He passed away in Torquay, Devon in the year 2000.
He had a brother called James and a sister who was either called Marjorie or Margaret.
I just need a starter with his parents so I can try and research it back. If no one can help I will of course buy his birth certificate but just wondered if anyone knew if there were any records I could find this information from or
even people who have this man on their trees.   
Thanks for any help
regards Sandymc

Hi all
Wondered if anyone could help with the 1911 census as I have most of
my family lines but my Uncle by marriage who died 1961 down in Sussex area called Henry Bavill was born in Leeds around 1908 time and married Edith Routledge in 1929 in Leeds. They lived in the Kirkstall area of Leeds but I am trying to find out where  Uncle Henry was living in 1911 and who with. I am hoping his parents were William and Mary and he could have siblings as well. If he is on the census he would be young but could be in any part of Leeds North West, or even North of the city. Could some kind person with the 1911 census look him up for me
Thanks for any help.  Dont know his year of birth as exact but death year is definitely 1961 as I was 14 and on holiday in Blackpool when I heard about his death. Thanks.

I read an article about the above a while ago and have lost contact with the person who wanted information about John Parr and his wife Ellen.
John was a registrar in Nottingham and passed away in 1865 and was buried in St Marys Church in the Lace Market and his wife Ellen then had to live in
Alms houses and I said I would go look in the Church to see if I could find their graves.
This I have done but I cannot find the person who wanted the information.
John and Ellen are not in St Marys Church graveyard. I met the Vicar whilst looking for them and he said that there were 4 graveyards for St Marys because there wasnt enough land. One is covered by the new Ice Skating rink another under some other building, but there is a spot on the main graveyard on Mansfield Road reserved for St Marys community. So I couldnt go any further in finding the grave itself. Sorry that it lead to not much, but I did try, hope this information is of some help to whoever it was that needed the information,
