My great grandmother was Annie Aylward Belding who I have always known was born in Tydd St Giles on Cambridgeshire in 1859-there was a birth registered in Wisbech RD in December qtr of 1859. Her father was John Walker Belding, mother Mary Aylward, John's occupation tailor, they lived at Tydd St Mary. I don't have the certificate, but her marriage cert confirms her maiden name, name of her father and his occupation.

However, there this baptism at Tydd St Mary from Lincs to the Past:

Number 566: Privately May 4th 1858, Annie, daughter of John & Mary Belding, resident in the village of Tydd St Mary, occupation of father is shown as tailor.

I can't find birth for a person called Annie/Ann in 1858 with a surname of Belding or similar to it. Could it be that they just forgot to register it in 1858-how long have you to register the birth before the authorities start to take notice?

Just a little puzzle: John Singleton born maybe Navenby, married Eleanor Elsom on September 17, 1754 at Welbourn, Lincolnshire. The Marriage record states that John Singleton was of the parish of Navenby.

They had three children as far as I can see, Elizabeth Anne born 1755, John born 1760 & Joice born 1764, all christened in Caythorpe St Vincent. The baptism records from Lincolnshire Archives state that all three children were the offspring of John Singleton and his wife Eleanor.

There is a further John Singleton marriage in Fulbeck, to an Elizabeth Parsons on 27th July 1773.

So is there a burial at Caythorpe for an Eleanor Singleton between 1764 & 1773?

John Singleton, baptised at Caythorpe, 28th January, 1760, son of John Singleton & Eleanor Elsom, married a Sarah Meatheringham at St Denys Silk Willoughby, on 24 September 1798, and there is child called John Singleton baptised at Caythorpe on 25th August 1799, parents John Singleton and Sarah.

John Singleton's marriage to Sarah states he was a widower, so I wonder if he too married twice, as there is this marriage:

By licence at Hough-on-the-Hill, between a John Singleton of Caythorpe and an Elizabeth Sympson on 6th August 1793, and a further record showing a baptism of a Charles Singleton on 27 July 1794, at Caythorpe, son of John Singleton and his wife Elizabeth.

So is there a burial at Caythorpe for an Elizabeth Singleton between 1793 & 1798. John Singleton made a will in 1825, (he died in 1829) and makes no mention of any sons called Charles & John so I wonder if they too died in Caythorpe?

Hi all,

May I refer to the following thread:

I now know that the above named Andrew Hamilton was a Chelsea Pensioner; This his death certificate

 " Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Andrew Hamilton - Chelsea pensioner - aged 43 years d. 11th Dec 1874 at the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow (Tobago Street, Glasgow) parents - William Hamilton, brewer (dec.) and Mary Ann Hamilton m.s. Lightern (also deceased) death reg. by sister Jane Irvine.

I think he may have received his injuries in the Crimean War-I can't find him a list of Crimean War casualties, but then he did not die, but was maybe injured so he could not work, because in the census for 1861 and 1871 he is listed as a pensioner.

Can anyone help me find his rank, unit etc and whether or not he fought in the Crimea?

On the 25th August, 1817, at Sculcoates, John Millington,  bachelor, married Martha Courts (a widow),  witnessed by Robert Jewitt & Margaret Jewitt.


On the IGI, there is a marriage of Martha Bainbridge & Samuel Coates, on 11th September 1814 at Hull, Holy Trinity.

I reckon that the Samuel Coates is a mis-transcription, but does anyone have access to the original to check for me please?


As Martha’s marriage to John Millington took place at Sculcoates, I wonder if Samuel Coates/Courts was buried at Sculcoates-can anyone assist with that?

On the 8th October 1842, according to her birth certificate, at Kilham, East Yorkshire, Mary Ann WARTERS was born to George WARTERS and his partner/wife Elizabeth JORDAN. She registers the birth, putting her mark as a signature.  He was a labourer by trade, but so far I have been unable to trace their marriage, that is if they did get married.

The 1851 Census says that George WARTERS & Elizabeth WARTERS live in Kilham, with George born in Foston and Elizabeth in Kilham, but later census, says she was born in Sewerby & Bridlington!

Later in the census, George WARTERS calls himself WATERS.

According to Free BMD an Elizabeth JORDAN married a George WATERSON in 1840 Marriages Mar 1840   (>99%)
JORDAN    Elizabeth        Driffield    23   59    
WATERSON    George        Driffield    23   59  and the IGI records a marriage between the two at Kirkburn but no father's are named. Does anyone have access to any marriage records that would show father's names please?
