Yorkshire (West Riding) / Thomas Danby
« on: Friday 28 February 20 16:51 GMT (UK) »
I have a Thomas Danby born about 1780 Leeds, who marries a Martha Driver nee Buck in 1807 Leeds they have 4 children
Edward born 1810 Leeds
John 1813 born Briggate
James born 1816 Briggate
Anne born 1818 Nelson Street Leeds
Martha dies 1840 widow of Thomas in St marys Workhouse
In 1817 directory Leeds has two Thomas Danby
Thomas Danby Call Lane hairdresser
Thomas Danby Nelson Street haircutter/toyman
My Thomas on his marriage certificate is a hairdresser. On his children's he is also a hairdresser. If i have the right Thomas Danby then he should be dead before his last two children's marriage certificate and he isnt.
There is an internment for a Thomas Danby 1820 Leeds son of a William and Ann Danby who lived at Nelson Street. This doesnt mention his wife though just parents.
I cant find Call Lane to see if the address is in Briggate I think Nelson Street is though.
What is the difference between a hairdresser and a haircutter?

Scotland / William Dickson
« on: Tuesday 21 May 19 13:31 BST (UK) »
I am looking into my son in laws tree, his father as far as he knows was born on 20 April 1934 in Edinburgh, I have been in touch with the GRO Edinburgh and they say they have no record for that name or date in Edinburgh. His father died 2011, my son in law isn’t in touch with any of his relatives to ask any further questions.
I haven’t done any research in Scotland before would appreciate ideas of where to look next.

World War One / Joseph Thomas Jonathan Jones Private New Brunswick Regiment killed 1916
« on: Wednesday 08 May 19 16:23 BST (UK) »
I am interested in why Joseph Thomas Jonathan Jones born Pensnett Staffordshire in 1896 to Joseph Merchant Jonesand Pamela Tranter was fighting in the New Brunswick Regiment. He was killed 1916 at St Elois Belgium.
I have him the 1901 census living at CottageStreet Kings winford Staffordshire with hisfamily
Joseph Merchant Jones 36 coal miner
Pamela 29
Fanny 2
JTJ 5
I have nothing else until his death from the war graves project.
Recently my mother had her DNA test with ancestry done and it shows up a 4/6th cousin in New Brunswick. I contacted the person who is now living in Ontario but her father was born in New Brunswick. They have no knowledge of Joseph T J Jones.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
