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?

Thank you for your reply, yes he died in 2011 in Yorkshire. I live in Somerset and am not going to Edinburgh as it is for a friend I am trying to help, hence hoping someone could look up his birth for me.

Thank you for your reply, I have found the notice in the Newcastle journal but can’t find anything in the London Gazette. Would it be possible to find out why he was awarded the medal?

Herbert William Waller Temporary Captain Northumberland Fusiliers killed in action 10 April 1917 Arras. He has M.C. After his name what would this mean? I wondered if it meant Military Cross?
Thank you.
