Hello All

This should be posted on a Yorkshire board but as there are 3 and I don't know the area, I don't know which one to post on.

Edith Reckless Dawson was born Sept 1/4 1879 Eccleshall B. I don't have her birth cert so I can't confirm her parents but....

I think I have found her on the 1881 census with Sampson and Ann Dawson (based on the marriage of Sampson Dawson to Ann Woodcock June 1/4 1872 Sheffield) with Sarah, Amelia and Ada at Attercliffe Cum Darnall, York. This shows her place of birth as Heeley, does this tie up with the registration district of Eccleshall B?

If so, I would be grateful if someone could find the same family on the 1891 and 1901 census.

Obviously I need to send for her birth cert to prove her parents names as this could all be completely wrong.

Thanks in advance

Isaac 35, Louisa 25 and their 4 children Isaac, Harriot, Emily and Ellen(or) 'appear' in the 1841 census at Abinger. All were born in the county.

The 4 children are baptised between 1833 and 1839 at Ockley.

However, I cannot find a baptism for Isaac senior, so I don't know who his parents were, nor a marriage to Louisa so I can find out her maiden name.

I would be grateful if someone could check for a marriage presumably around 1832.

I don't have access to the 1851 census until I go to the library at the weekend, but having had a quick look at the index, 'Iseck' is born around 1802 and Louisa 1812. As I can't see details I have no more clues as to their places of birth and if there are anymore children.

Hoping someone can throw some light on this family.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all

I would be grateful if anyone who has copies of the West Surrey FHS booklets both by Cliff Webb

Index to Commissary Court of Surrey Wills 1752-1858
Index to Surrey Wills Proved in the Commissary Court 1660-1751

could let me know how many 'Longhurst' names are listed if any.

Thanks in advance

Hello all

Mary Bouton (Boughton) had an illegitimate child, Aaron, baptised at Ewhurst 5 Jan 1745, the 'reputed father being John Longhurst'.

Their next child Moses was baptised 1 Nov 1747 at Ewhurst, but there are no comments in the PR other than he was the son of John and Mary, implying a marriage had taken place in between times. All the other illegitimate children in the PR have comments by their baptism entries, some worse than others. John and Mary went on to have another 5 children baptised at Ewhurst.

So far though, I can't find a marriage for them, possibly between 1745 and 1747, and am hoping someone can find it on the Surrey Index. I know this is the Surrey board, but could someone check the Sussex Index too.

Thanks in advance.
