Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Alfred Butler and Ann Wildon - Bingley
« on: Wednesday 04 August 10 20:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi Kevin!
What a surprise to get an answer to my query. It is indeed myAnn Wildon born in Welburn 1837.
I have been doing the family history of my paternal grandmother whoes name was Asquith for the past few years. My great great grandfather Samuel Asquith married Emily Jane Butler who was the second child of Alfred and Annie Butler. I have a photo of Emily Jane if you are interested.
I can tell you that Alfred was born in Bingley in 1836 son of James  Butler and Mary Ann Read. James died young and by 1851 Alfred was apprenticed to his grandfather, John Read an iron and scrap metal founder in Bingley.
By 1861 he had married Annie and was working as a bookkeeper and living in Wellington Street Bingley. Their first son James is staying with Great Uncle Henry Read in Otley. Alfred and Annie have a new baby living with them (Emily Jane - my great great grandmother)
By 1871 Alfred and Annie are living at 2 Trinity Terrace Bingley. Alfred is listed as a worsted spinner, manufacturer and landowner (in 1870 he had bought and was remodelling Thornfield House, Micklethwaite)
By 1881 the family are living in Thornfield HOuse. Alfred is is business with his brother Henry Butler. They own A & H Butler & Co worsted spinners of Victoria, Peel and Dubb Mills)They employ almost 800 people. Will let you know more. Regards  Sally

Thanks again!
I have made a contact with someone researching the Brown family and have found that Isaac died in 1846 and Betsy was Elizabeth Wilson. With this information I have been able to track the family back.
So once again thank you so much for your help, and I think that this search is now Completed.

Kind regards

Sally

Thanks Heywood!

 Yes I have found the IGI record for James but that is all that i've found. I dont have a DOB for Isaac senior, I dont know where he was born and I cant find him or Betsy (whose maiden name I dont know either) in the census records at all so I have no idea where they went, and when they died!!!!!!
Any clues would be gratefully received

Westmorland Lookup Requests / Preston Patrick lookup - Brown
« on: Wednesday 16 June 10 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,
I wonder if anyone has access to the Preston Patrick records. I am chasing up a James Brown born 1844 in Preston Patrick. I believe that he may be the son of Isaac Brown and Betsy. He may also have a older brother Isaac, born  about 1842 in Preston Patrick. I cannot find this family in  the census records until the boys turn up in 1851 as lodgers with a family called Brown in Hutton Roof (could they be relatives?). There is no sign of Isaac senior or Betsy!
Any help; would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Sally

thanks Geoff,
That is not the right John Asquith, he was from Kildwick in Yorkshire and not Wigford! It was Mary Smithson who came from Lincolnshire - possibly Great Coates!

Many thanks for your interest!

Thank you so much for that! That is just the information that I need. John Asquith (my distant relation) seems to have been a land agent for Ann Currer (a wealthy lady from Kildwick) who married William Hudson of Cadney. Mr Hudson died leaving Ann with lands within the Wrawby parish. I am guessing that John Asquith travelled with her down to Lincolnshire and met Mary on his travels. They then moved back to Yorkshire where they had a huge family.
If we have the correct Mary Smithson (ie from Great Coates), she would have been a minor on the occasion of her wedding!
Really appreciate your efforts!
Warmest regards

Sally :)

Thanks for having a look for me!
It is not the right one I'm afraid. John Asquith was from Kildwick parish Yorkshire. I am pretty certain now that it was Mary Smithson that was a Lincolnshire girl. I have obtained the banns which were read in Kildwick and that is where the Asquiths hail from. It gives Mary's parish as Wrawby. I wonder whether you have a baptism for a Mary Smithson around about 1745?

Your help is much appreciated

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Alfred Butler and Ann Wildon - Bingley
« on: Monday 30 June 08 09:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help me with these two. I have census information and a marriage certificate. It would seem that Alfred may have got Annie pregnant and married her  (16 Mar 1858). Their son James was born 6th Sept of the same year.
What I am interested in is how they may have met. In the 1851 census Annie (who was born in Welburn) was working as a servant to a solicitor Mr Jackson in Malton. On her marriage certificate she is listed as a servant. I cannot find any links between the Butler family of Bingley and Malton, or Mr Jackson. Did she perhaps go into service somewhere in the West Riding?
It is a bit of a long shot but if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear from you.
Regards
Frankington
