thanks Ticker.

I have looked on IGI but had no luck, and the parish registers on ancestry aren't much help either (not recent enough!)

They were on poor relief in 1851 so may not have warrented headstones....

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Elands in Lyth - help on deaths
« on: Monday 15 May 06 18:56 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the deaths of Sarah and Jane Eland, both born in Lythe and living there until at least 1851.

They do not appear in the 1861 census.  They were both born in around the 1780s.

I can find no deaths on freebmd however i have found Sarah and Jane England deaths in Whitby region between 1851 and 1861.

Is it reasonable to assume these are my people and the name was misheard/transcribed (the register index also shows England)

unfortunately the yorkshire bmd site has not yet got these registers indexed so i have no fall back check.

Opinions/help please!!!!

thanks

i have a minnie too.

if you look at Ancestry or Free BMD birth registrations you will find 170,001 Minnies between 1837 and 1983 (or as far as Free BMD goes up to at least)

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Mile End to Whitechapel?
« on: Thursday 11 May 06 18:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi Keith - I was at University in Mile End (Queen Mary's College of University of London).  We used to walk to Whitechapel from there.

The canal goes round the back of the college (which used to be known as the People's Palace).

It is entirely feasible that they would go to Church in Whitechapel - although there are probably ones nearer.

As far a lock keeper is concerned - the canal is the one that runs from Regents Park to Limehouse basin.  I haven't actually worked the locks there myself, but if they are like the rest of the ones on the Grand Union they would take 2 narrowboats.  Lock Keepers used to work the locks, but were also responsible for maintenance etc.
