A member of another East Riding list, knowing that I am also researching WOODMANSEY, alerted me to the fact that the there had been a new posting on this site.
My G. Grandmother was Dora WOODMANSEY, born Beverley 1854. She had a sister Louisa and brothers John Bradshaw, Arthur, Tom, Herbert and Frederik.
Dora's parents were John WOODMANSEY, a Groom, and Hannah (formerly YOUNCY). I know from census information that John was born at Driffield. I know from his marriage certificate that his father was a School Master and was also called John.
Beyond this I have lots of information on various WOODMANSEY's (and spelling derivatives) that I have obtained from CD's or from internet sites. Since I live in the Caribbean I am having difficulty in piecing together much of this information. My missing links are hopefully within records to which I do not have access. One example is that a John WOODMANSEY married Ann or Hannah BRADSHAW in 1817 at Hutton Cranswick. It might be pure coincidence but my intuition tells me that this marriage probably has some connection with my G.Grandmother's brother named John Bradshaw.
Does any of the foregoing appear to have any direct connection to you original enquiry. Looking forward to hearing from you.
