Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Reuben SMITH of Leeds
« on: Wednesday 09 April 14 22:43 BST (UK)  »
Having now looked on the British Newspaper Archive, there is nothing to indicate he was in any of the Yorkshire newspapers having committed suicide in Roundhay park Lake.  I cannot find a death record within Leeds and surrounding districts for a Reuben Smith with a birthdate of 1863, I cannot find any burial details in the major Leeds Cemeteries for this gentleman.  Did he marry again and move away from Leeds ?

I have found a burial for an Alexander Kendall age 25 on 1 December 1908 at Holbeck Cemetery if that's any help.  However, I have traced this gentleman back and he seems to be a bricklayer/brick maker, not a window cleaner.  It might help a little if we know date of birth and where this gentleman/family were in the 1901 census.

Am assuming she wasn't murdered by her husband however, as Woodhouse Cemetery also has Thomas Edwin Tuke down as dying on October 31 1917 of consumption and buried on November 3rd 1917, living at same address 8, Jermyn Street, burial entry 71853 and grave no 6755.

Have found her.  She is in Woodhouse Cemetery, died on November 16 1921 and was buried on November 19 1921.  Parents are down as William and Amelia Winstanley and she was living at 8, Jermyn Street.  However, she is down as a widow ??

Burial Entry 75392, Grave 731.  Hope that's OK for you.

The only other thing I can think of about Louisa's birth is that perhaps William wasn't her father ??, on looking at the 1881 census, Caroline was living with her parents under the name Caroline Turner and her daughter Louisa was down on the census as MARGARET B Turner .I cannot find any record of where William Turner was, even though they had married in 1878.

It's very strange, I wish you good luck in this one :)

Right, have had a look on a*****ry for the baptism registrations for the 2 children William Arthur Blackburn and Caroline Blackburn, they are both there.

William Arthur is actually baptised William Arthur BlackMAN Turner, with a father called Albert Butt (or Bull) Turner (Laundry Proprietor) and Louisa Blackman Turner.  He was baptised on 13 February 1898, with him being born on 12 January 1898.  They are down as living in Chapel Street, Leeds, being baptised at St. peter's Church.

Caroline is also baptised at St. Peter's Church, this time being baptised as Caroline Blackburn on 26 July 1901, being born on 28 June 1901, just with louisa Blackburn as being her mother.  She was still living at Chapel Street at this time.

I think if you were looking for William Arthur's father in the 1901 census, I would look for either an Albert Butt or Albert Bull.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you very much for that - would you like some information about Walker Wheelhouse and his family ?

I use Roots Magic for my one-name study and think its report generator is marvellous.

They are indeed, my particular line is from Leeds, from which Hunslet is a suburb.  Could you give me a few details, or even if you want to investigate further into these Wheelhouses I could do a little digging for you.

What I am trying to do is gather up information of all Wheelhouses in a one name study.  My initial aim is to find out where they originated from, my particular branch came from Derbyshire, but a lot of other Wheelhouses came from Yorkshire.  I would love to be able to marry up the whole line to see where they did originate from :)
