Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: William Cawood-Otley
« on: Saturday 09 June 07 20:53 BST (UK)  »
In 1841 census a William Cawood aged ca 25 and wife Sarah ca 20 (but ages rounded down in 1841) both born Yorkshire were living in Headingley, Leeds with children Elizabeth and Edward.  In 1851 they were there, aged 36 and 34 with additional children Mary, Sarah, William and Thomas.  William born Otley, Sarah in Yeadon and children all in Kirkstall.
Baptism at Otley 23 Feb 1817 of William s/o Elizabeth Cawood would seem to be the one.  But there were several Elizabeth Cawoods around in Otley at the time.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / GREENWICH - Christ Church Marriages ca 1920

I have been informed that circa 1920 there was so much unemployment among dockers that they dare not take a Saturday off to get married.  So there were multiple weddings on Sundays, squeezed between the other services.  Do the marriage registers support this report, please?  I would be particularly interested to know the max no. of weddings taken in one day by the curate Rev J.R.Weller (later Bishop of all South America) the biography of whom I am helping to research.  Thanks, Richard.

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Bucks Advertiser 1872 look-up

Jo,

Thanks.  I do have a cutting in good condition from the original newspaper.  I just needed the date and the name of the paper to quote in a biography of one of Edith's sons, my uncle, who had an adventurous life.  Thanks again,
Richard.

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Bucks Advertiser 1872 look-up
« on: Friday 13 April 07 22:07 BST (UK)  »
Is SKS able and willing to do a look-up in the Buckinghamshire Advertiser or other newspaper for the report of the double wedding at Chesham on 10 Dec 1872 of Edith and Gertrude AYLWARD please?  I have a copy of the report under CHESHAM heading but wish to know for sure which newspaper and the date of publication.  It refers to 'Tuesday last' so may be Friday 13 Dec 1872.

Richard,
South Yorks
