Yorkshire (North Riding) / William Henry WALKER Marriage to Hannah WRIGHT
« on: Monday 26 June 17 10:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a bit of a problem (Don't we all!!) I have a William Henry WALKER who was born circa 1852 at Halifax. His parents were Thomas Beresford WALKER and Charlotte BUERGIN. In looking for his marriage I came across 1). William Henry WALKER married to Hannah WRIGHT 2nd. Quarter 18782 at Halifax and 2). William WALKER married to Hannah WRIGHT 4th.Quarter 1867 at Guisborough.

I found on the 1911 census a William Henry WALKER married to Hannah and they were married for 38 years, which points to the 1872 marriage at Halifax. But there is still doubt as to which marriage is correct.

It seems too much a coincidence that two William WALKER's  were married to a girl with the same name. But there again in family history there are so many anomalies and coincidences and strange goings on!!

Can anyone make sense of it? I would be very grateful for any help and suggestions.

Regards,

Margaret

It seems too much a coincidence that two William WALKER's married to a girl with exactly the same name. But there again in family history there are so many anomalies and coincidences and strange goings on!!

Aberdeenshire / Birth of John HENDERSON
« on: Wednesday 31 May 17 00:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to find the parents of my GG Grandfather John HENDERSON, who was born circa 1818 in Aberdeenshire. So far I have a choice of three sets of parents for him. (1) Alexander HENDERSON and Elizabeth BROWN, at Belhelvie 20 March 1818; (2) John HENDERSON and Mary COUTTS, at Auchindoir and Kearn 20 March 1818; (3) John HENDERSON and Isabel WHYTE, at Rathen 9 June 1818.  He died 12 December 1848 and was buried in the Churchyard of Old Machar. The OPR death did not reveal who his parents were. He was married to Catherine MORTIMER 10 December 1846 at New Machar.
Has anyone any suggestions where I can find which set of parents are his? (The dates of 20 March 1818 are not misprints! Just coincidence!).

Regards,
Margaret

Norfolk / William COOK of Wymondham
« on: Wednesday 08 February 17 23:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I have my husband's 6 X G Grandfather William COOK born Wymondham circa 1705, baptised 3 March 1706 and married to Elizabeth GOULD in 1721. She died 1729 and William then married Mary WOOD(E) in 1731.

I am trying to find if William and Elizabeth had any children?
Also trying to find who William's parents were. There are two possibilities:
1]. William COOK (born Tharston c.1678 - died Wymondham 1737) and Elizabeth OSBOURNE.
2]. William COOK (born Tharston c.1666 - died Wymondham 1733) and Margaret TOWNSHEND

Would anyone know of these families? Any help will be really appreciated.

Kind regards,

Margaret

Lanarkshire / Jean THOM - who are her parents?
« on: Wednesday 11 January 17 10:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a Jean THOM who was married to James MITCHELL in 1792 at Glasgow.

I am trying to find who her parents were and when and where she was born; at the moment there are two contenders, the first one is William THOM and mother Janet AULD and was born 1766 at New Monkland. This would make her 26 when she got married.  The second choice is her father being John THOM, mother unknown and born 1777 at Cambuslang. That would make her 15 when she got married.

She and James MITCHELL had 6 children; 1). Janet, born 1794 Glasgow. 2). Hugh, born 1796 Old Monkland. 3). John, born 1799 Olds Monkland. 4). Walter born 1804 New Monkland. 5). James born 1806 Old Monkland. 6). Mary born 1811, Old Monkland.

Does this person ring a bell with anyone? She is my 4 X Great Grandmother, and I would really like to know more about her.

Regards,

Margaret
