MIs Howden 1848/49

[silicondale]

Request for Jill - very kind of you to offer these MI lookups !

I'm trying to work out the family relationships of Hannah Boniston of Howden (died 1848) and Catherine Lawton of Asselby (died 1849), and wondered if either or both might have been buried at Howden Minster. Just a long shot that there might be more information than in the will or death certificate.

The big prize would be to find an MI for Jasper Boniston, died 1832, but I have no idea where he died. Could have been Selby or Howden or anywhere in between. Problem is that he is elusive and seems to have left very little trace in official records (I've found an alternative spelling 'Burniston' in IGI - a 1767 christening and a different marriage, in 1789).

Also (a bit cheeky) - if you have an index, I'm looking for any Dalbys from 1700 to 1850s.

many thanks in advance for anything

many thanks indeed, Jill - that's wonderful.

It does indeed fill in some of the blanks, though not the ones I was expecting to fill. Also gives me another Dalby line to work on, as I had nothing at all on William until now.
