Yorkshire (West Riding) / Marriage John Vaines & Elizabeth Sheldon
« on: Wednesday 30 July 08 21:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I have been searching for the marriage of my 3xgt-grandparents for a long time with no success. John was b.1815 at Wentworth to William & Ann Stenton. Elizabeth was b.1817 at Ecclesfield to William & Ann Woodhouse. Their 1st child was Sarah Ann registered Ecclesfield Dec qtr 1837, she was christened at Hoyland Nether.  So I am trying to find a marriage I think before civil reg began. Have not had any breakthroughs as yet. My line comes from their son Charles who was born in 1853 when they are then living at Hoyland Common.
Here's hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks Lynn

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Clerkenwell Workhouse 1866
« on: Saturday 19 July 08 19:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi All
One of the very frustrating brick walls in my husbands tree has had me stumped for the last 3 years, so I am looking for inspiration on how to progress.
I have the birth cert for my husbands grandmother this shows.
Kate born 1/4/1866 at Workhouse Clerkenwell
No father but mother Catherine Brown
In space for signature description & residence
x mark of Catherine Brown mother   5 Dobyers or Dobneys Court Clerkenwell.
Was Clerkenwell used as a lying in hospital? or had Catherine been sent to the workhouse. I haven't been able to find anything to help with Catherine. On the marriage cert for Kate in 1887 she  has conveniently got a father who is deceased named William but she marries in Nottingham!!!
Does anyone know if I would be able to see Clerkenwell Workhouse records if any still exist. Hoping someone may be able to suggest a way forward.
Thanks Lynn

Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Middleton family from Buckden
« on: Thursday 17 July 08 17:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi All
This is my first post so hope I get things right. Looking for info on William Middleton & Sarah ? who were living in Buckden 1841--1871. Need to determine their marriage & baptisms of children. Can't find any Buckden details on IGI or on Hugh Wallis site. Possibilities for Sarah's maiden name are GALE, CHILDS or WOMERSLEY as she was born Gt. Stukeley 1799. Their children are William b.1828, Ellenor b.1829, David b.1831, Mary Ann b.1833(my line) Frances b.1837, Sarah b.1839, Elizabeth b.1844 & James b.1847.
William senior was b.1797ish & census says born Buckden, he dies between 1871 & 1881. The family lived at Hunts End.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks Lynn
