Welcome to Rootschat Doug

I am aware of your part of the family (but not of the members in our generation) I believe my father's cousin Marie Hasenmayer kept in contact.

Once you have posted 3 times on rootschat you will be able to contact & be contacted via Personal Messages http://www.rootschat.com/help/pms.php. Then, if you would like, we can fill in the blanks in our knowledge about our family.

You're going to be stuck, sorry.

Because the information would be closed, without knowing the address they were at when the register was taken, FindMyPast or TNA wouldn't be able to open the record.

I had a feeling that would be the answer - shall have to wait until 2022 to find out who had given her a home.

Thanks again

I still cannot establish a process for sending a death certificate for to FindMyPast  for a record that is officially closed when I cannot find out the household in which that person was residing.
I may be missing something but I am hoping someone can spell it out to me.

Please and thank you.

Any suggestions how to "locate" a person born 1922 who was not with her parents. I would like to register her death (2012) with Findmypast but as I do not know with whom or where she was living I cannot work out how to do this.

I cannot see anything in FindMyPast FAQs.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: George and Margaret Westman in Bradford
« on: Wednesday 24 June 15 16:39 BST (UK)  »
In the 1871 Census George & Margaret Westman's neighbours are Daniel Farrell (age 48) and family. All the adults in both households were born in Ireland and for occupation (spouses & children) stated as Catholic.

This could be just a coincidence, but worth looking into?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Laverac or Laverock Hall Hipperholme, Brighouse 1841
« on: Friday 13 February 15 17:23 GMT (UK)  »
Extract from
http://www.yorkshireindexers.info/wiki/index.php?title=Brighouse_-_Slead_Syke_and_Neighbourhood
"Several old farm houses in this township are designated halls, Originally – a hall meant a manor-house. ......, we reach that very old farm, Laverack Hall. There is a Laverock Hall near Keighley, and Caer Laverock Castle in Scotland. A family of this name lived in the township a century ago. I believe the name is derived from the Saxon – laverc – a lark. .... Mr. Walker was till recently the owner of Laverack Hall."
