Hi Sheila, Could you please have a look at the 1851 census for me. Lancashire/Tonge/Middleton. Looking for Alice Halkyard b.c. 1826. Trying to find who her hubby was. I have her on the 1841, maiden name Spencer, no probs, my notes presume she married previous to 1851. Hope this is enough info. Thanks in anticipation. Cheers Margaret.

Sheila, If you have access can you look for the birth of William Sydney Mason, Leicestershire in either 1893 or 1894 please? Thanks Russell

Margaret, I have found Alice living with her parents. She was a Widow. I lookedfor the marriage and did not find it. The only other way to find the husband;s name it get the birth certificate of one ot the children. 1851 Ann Spencer abt 1843 Tonge, Lancashire, England Daughter Tonge Lancashire Betty Spencer abt 1800 Chadderton, Lancashire, England Wife Tonge Lancashire Sarrah Spencer , abt 1831 Tonge, Lancashire, England Daughter Tonge Lancashire Walter Spencer abt 1800 Tonge, Lancashire, England Head Tonge Lancashire Alice Halkyard abt 1824 Tonge, Lancashire, England Daughter Tonge Lancashire Betty Halkyard abt 1849 Tonge, Lancashire, England Granddaughter Tonge Lancashire Mary Ann Halkyard abt 1846 Tonge, Lancashire, England Granddaughter Tonge Lancashire Sheila

Hi Wondered if you could see if you could find this family on the 1871 census for me? Info is from 1881 census. As you can see they moved around a lot so not sure where they could be. Possibly northumberland as daughter (my great Gran) was born in Westmorland in 1871c. DAVID PARKER, age 46, b 1835c GLOUCESTER Gloucestershire, Railway foreman ALICE PARKER age 49, b 1832c York, Yorkshire TINY PARKER age 19, b 1862c York, Yorkshire WILLIAM PARKER, age 15, b1866 Dalkeith, Scotland, Railway miner SAM PARKER age 13, b1868c Derby, Engine cleaner ALICE PARKER age 10, b 1871c Westmorland Living at Railway Hut, Hungarton, Leicester at time of 1881 census. Any info you manage to find would be of great help. Dawn

Jeanette, is this the Brewerton family you want? The details for Martha are not as you gave them. Also Martha is now a widow. 1861 Henry Brewertonabt 1851 Sunderland, Durham, England Son Bishopwearmouth Durham James Brewerton abt 1841 Sunderland, Durham, England Son Bishopwearmouth Durham James Brewerton abt 1846 Sunderland, Durham, England Son Bishopwearmouth Durham Martha Brewerton abt 1816 Southampton, Hampshire, England Head Bishopwearmouth Durham Richard Brewerton abt 1843 Sunderland, Durham, England Son Bishopwearmouth Durham Sheila (in the sun)

Thanks Sheila, you're a gem. I'll be able to check the parish records now I know Alice had children. May turn the marriage up on those. Thanks a bunch. Cheers Margaret.

Dawn, could this be yoyr Parker family? The father's name is wrong but others names and places of birth fit. Also the head is listed as 'Excavator Foreman'.

Hi Sheila, Andy here again. Thank you for your kind offer of look ups. Please can you look up the following ref on 1901 Census for me? RICHARD BRAYSHAW aged 43; born SHEFFIELD, Yorks; Administrative County Yorks, West Riding; Civil Parish BARNSLEY; Occupation Stationery Engine Driver; Many thanks, Andy

hi shelia thankyou for the brewertons yes thats them great finding jeannette sunny today in nz

Sheila, Thansk for looking up William Mason, before I go off and buy a copy does it have any other info on it as it doesn't seem to confirm a year of death. I presuem the registration date of 1893 was his birth year as that is also what I have. Could you possibly look for the marriage of these two people in Leicester between 1866-1870. Catherine Cooper abt 1848 Aylestone, Leicestershire, England Wife Leicester St Margaret Leicestershire Wm Cooper abt 1846 Narborough, Leicestershire, England Head Leicester St Margaret Leicestershire Thanks Russell

Thanks a lot. Also I have a note that they have a granddaughter with Mary Ellen with them. Please could you tell me her birthplace as well? Many thanks. Kate
