Anything with an exact date is because we have the certificate to prove it. Also have census info as well... in the paper trail! lol

Hi Damian,
I have Bannister's from the Walsall area, though not quite as early as you mention. Would you possibly be able to tell me a little more about your Bannister family please?

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 census Leeds, Wood Family lookup
« on: Tuesday 11 September 07 18:33 BST (UK)  »
I have just realised... at least I think I have... Mary has listed her maiden name with no mention of being Mrs Wood!! Maybe this is one of those family secrets we all get told we need not know.


I think I have a huge Apology to put to you all. I just looked in freebmd and found that their marriage was actually listed in 1844. It wasn't there last time I looked but thankfully the transcribers are still hard at work. Will get the certificate and see what I can find out from that.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 census Leeds, Wood Family lookup
« on: Tuesday 11 September 07 18:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi!
Thankyou all so much for the quick responses. I'm absolutely flabbergasted! and completely thrilled ;D ;D
It's definitely Mary Ann Chew. She registered Mary Elizabeth's birth in 1842.
They were living at 6 Somerset Street and John occupation was listed as a sawyer. I have the marriage of Mary Wood to John Mutch. They were married 8 May 1859 and were both living in Hope Street Leeds.
Thankyou so much again,
Leeona

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / 1851 census Leeds, Wood Family lookup
« on: Tuesday 11 September 07 17:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi, hoping someone may be able to help me with my family. I've been trying to find out more for what seems forever but haven't found a thing! So I'm hoping that census details may be able to help me. All I know is as follows:

John Wood married Mary Ann Chew 1829 in Leeds. They had a daughter Mary Ann Chew Wood born in 1842 in Leeds. (I have her birth certificate and I know she married John Mutch in 1859 and I have their descendants)... and that's all I know of the Wood family! Not much to go on... but help!!! There must have been more children... everyone had heaps back then!

Have a truly wonderful day!!

Kent / Re: George Simpson
« on: Sunday 09 October 05 21:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Thanks so much for answering us. We're still looking for George and waiting and waiting... sometimes it seems a milion miles away, but we know it's only a case of getting that one piece of illusive information that will help.
We do have George's marriage certificate. It has nothing at all on it other than the Kent, England. His wife's entry was just as bad, but thankfully we already knew about her!
We've looked at the naming of the children and tried possibilities. The only family that we can totally fit George and Mary's children into is one we found on the LDS site that has George as being born abt 1842 to Jane Simpson  who then married Thomas Jeffs (George's father). The names actually fit perfectly but!!!!!! they're not in Kent! So the hunt goes on. I'll put George and Mary's family below, who knows, the names may help someone recognise him.
Thanks again,
Leeona and Bill  ;D
