Hi

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look and see if I can make sense of things.

Hi

I'm researching Caroline Richards [born 8/2/1817 daughter of William Westley Richards and his wife Ann]

I'm trying to work out how to connect the following:

Westley Richards [born circa 1791], gunmaker: - living at Chads Lane Birmingham in 1841; living at Ashfield House Hagley Road Edgbaston in 1851;

and

William Richards [born circa 1791], gunmaker: - living at Lancaster Street Birmingham in 1841; living at Ashfield House Hagley Road Edgbaston in 1851;

I've tried the IGI and have come up with William Westley Richards christened 30/11/1789 Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick, England [son of Theophilus & Mary] and William Richards christened 06/10/1789 Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick, England [son of Mary].

Do I put 2 and 2 together and assume William Westley Richards was known as Westley Richards and the other William who married a Rebecca Astley was William Westley's cousin?

Any ideas?

Hi

I'm sure my question has been asked time and time again but I've got to ask it.

Is there a site that you can search for Yorkshire birth records when you know both the family name and the mother's maiden name that will take you straight to the specific records and not just the index pages?

I know I can do it with free BMD but the records are post 1930 and pre 1983 so they've not been transcribed yet [as is the case with the YorkshireBMD records].

Also [again for post 1930 and pre 1983] other BMD records where you know the district - the ones I'm seeking are registered in North Bierley.

Hi

An Elizabeth Ann Firth was buried in the unconsecrated section of Armley Cemetery Leeds on 26/7/1915. Her age at the time of death is shown as 79.

No record of the husband though.
