Hi again Julie.I am trying to help an 82 year old lady with her family tree and finding it difficult to read what she has written. Could you look on 1901 census for Lincolnshire for a HOLTBY family. Her mother was born 1899 not sure if the name is Beattie. George Shute and Eliza Webster. They married 1901 but dont know if its before or after the census. If you could find these on 1901 and further back. I found John Holtby on 1881 aged 70 so if you would be so kind to find him prior to that it would make an old lady very happy. She is almost totally housse bound so she knows I will at least visit to give her my findings. Thanks Gloria I have now got the HOLTBY family details from all the census so just looking for the Shute and Webster families.

OOOHH! I'm loosing where I'm up to..... Margaret Mitcheson - re Arrowsmith 1861 lodger 20 Haffron Street, Stockton on Tees apprentice stone mason, he's living in a house with 2 other fellow stones masons apprentices. Now there are lots of people with this name but I believe that this is going to be him in the 1851... the way it's written the son of head isn't his dad, more likely uncle. J Wm Arrowsmith abt 1843 Stockton, Durham, England Grandson Sedgefield Durham View Record Mary Arrowsmith abt 1777 Hurworth, Durham, England Head Sedgefield Durham View Record William Arrowsmith abt 1819 Sedgefield, Durham, England Son Sedgefield Durham Mary is an agricultural labourer and pauper, William is a joiner and John William scholar. You meet his Uncle William again in the 1861, joiner, with young wife 4 Maritime Street, Stockton on Tees Record Mary Arrowsmith abt 1831 Stockton, Durham, England Wife Stockton on Tees Durham View Record William Arrowsmith abt 1819 Sedgfield, Durham, England Head Stockton on Tees Durham View Record Robert Humphers abt 1831 Middlesbro, Yorkshire, England Boarder Stockton on Tees Durham View Record George Oats abt 1832 Kelloe, Durham, England Boarder Stockton on Tees Durham and 1871 Mary Arrowsmith abt 1833 Coxhoe, Durham, England Wife Norton Durham View Record William Arrowsmith abt 1821 Sedgfield, Durham, England Head Norton Durham View Record Henry Picken abt 1847 Coxhoe, Durham, England Lodger Norton Durham At Rose Cottage, Norton. Thinking back to John W's granmother she is still going strong in 1861 - living in an alms house in Sedgefield! She's 84. You're not going to believe this! MARY ANN ARROWSMITH Female Event(s): Birth: Christening: 26 NOV 1776 Sedgefield, Durham, England Death: Burial: Parents: Father: WILLIAM ARROWSMITH Family Mother: ELIZABETH Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for locality listed in the record.

Now when you ask for the 51 does that mean that you already know what became of him? John W Arrowsmith I mean. I think that this is him in 1871 but if it is he quit as a stone mason.

Happy new year! Julie

Betty Boo - no, afraid not. Sorry!

Allan Midcalf - re Howards Okay, so we have Alfred 1849 working as a horsekeeper in 1881 married to Elizabeth 1848 in Durham with their children, which I assume you have already. In 1891 they are in Broom Durham. Alfred's a farm stuard, John's a colliery fitter and William's a railway porter. Been going in circles looking for him in earlier census'. Think that he might be in the army in 71 but I haven't been able to find Elizabeth and possibly John so can't eliminate them being together. He has a popular name and unfortunately he doesn't seem to give Bury St Edmunds as his place of birth (or if he does I just can not see it!) Looking at his skills he might be (1851) Alfred Howard abt 1849 Tuddenham, Cambridgeshire, England Son Tuddenham St Mary Suffolk View Record Hannah Howard abt 1846 Chippenham, Cambridgeshire, England Daughter Tuddenham St Mary Suffolk View Record James Howard abt 1817 Tuddenham, Suffolk, England Head Tuddenham St Mary Suffolk View Record Jane Howard abt 1822 Chippenham, Cambridgeshire, England Wife Tuddenham St Mary Suffolk Results per page as they are farm workers BUT don't take that as given. What you really need to find next is the marriage between Alfred and Elizabeth Actually that leads nicely - think that this might be them, but do have a look with free bmd and see if any of the others fit with what you know - like I say there are lots with the same name. Surname First name(s) District Vol Page Marriages Mar 1871 Howard Alfred Durham 10a 355 Linsley Elizabeth Durham 10a 355 Now, with the marriage certificate you will get fathers name and you'll be able to confirm fathers names and therefore which Alfred he's going to be. Must go to bed! yawn............... Happy new year Julie

Tracey Kent You still there...? Graydon - Halifax, Arthur working on the railway in 1901, dragman is it? All born in Halifax. <1891> Just Arthur and Emily living together at number 9 Thomas Street Ward?/Walk? Occupation looks something like farm drayman? They occupied only 2 rooms. Civil parish: Skircoat Ecclesiastical parish: St Pauls Town: Halifax County/Island: Yorkshire <1881> things get more interesting Record Albert Graydon abt 1866 Yorkshire, England Son Northowram, Yorkshire, England View Record Annie Graydon abt 1868 Yorkshire, England Daughter Northowram, Yorkshire, England View Record Arthur Graydon abt 1864 Yorkshire, England Son Northowram, Yorkshire, England View Record Chrisr.

Dyson, Esq.) 2½ miles NE. of Halifax, 6½ from Bradford. Pop. 6,841.' So looks like your man! Chris - head - worsted spinning overlooker. Walter - some sort of strap maker. Arthur cart driver. Albert, Annie and Joe factory workers. The lodger is an unemployed mechanic - you see him again back in 1871: Back we go to <1871> The family are lodginf with Edward Webster and his elderly (71 and 69) parents at Red Beck, Northowram: Record Albert Graydon abt 1866 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Son Northowram Yorkshire View Record Annes Graydon abt 1868 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Daughter Northowram Yorkshire View Record Arthur Graydon abt 1864 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Son Northowram Yorkshire View Record Christopher Graydon abt 1835 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Lodger Northowram Yorkshire View Record Elizabeth Graydon abt 1833 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Wife Northowram Yorkshire View Record Joe Graydon abt 1870 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Son Northowram Yorkshire View Record Walter Graydon abt 1862 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Son Northowram Yorkshire Chris is a worsted spinning overlooker and walter, 9, is a half time worsted spinner. <1861> Christopher Graydon abt 1836 Halifax, Yorkshire, England Head Halifax Yorkshire View Record Elizabeth Graydon abt 1834 Northowram, Yorkshire, England Wife Halifax Yorkshire View Record Hannah Maria Graydon abt 1860 Halifax, Yorkshire, England Daughter Halifax Yorkshire looks like Mount Pleasant number 1, the house seems to have held 2 seperate households. In this census it doesn't tell you if they had less than 4 rooms etc, but I'd guess they had 2 rooms. Chris still doing same job. Here we go back to 1851 - end of line for ancestry till next year.... good one though because you get a glimps at the next generation back....

Samuel, head, shoe maker. Christopher and Thomas at woolen mill. James an engine boy. Obviously this is going to leave so many loose ends to trace side ways :~) Julie

Gloria could you just clarify for me... Who am I looking for and guestimates of dates. George Shute, married to Eliza Webster parents of Beattie(1899). All living in Lincolnshire? Do you mean the place Holtby or is that just a name? There's a lot of George Shutes and having difficulties. The only 1 that I can see so far in Lincolnshire is this in Cleethorpes - but Eliza is his mother in law rather than wife.

Julie

The one with the OMLY family is the one I wanted thanks. He was their adopted son. Looks like he had a sister adopted to. If there is anymore info on this family it would be a great help to me. Thanks again. Think I have all the other family details for now. Just need to print them of. Thanks again for all your help GLoria

Thank you for all your help. I think I have a complete set now. Happy New Year to you GLoria

Margaret Fairbairn - you have him on the 1881, but can't find him on the 71 or 91. Turns up again on 1901: Edward Fairbairn abt 1897 Gateshead, Durham, England Son Gateshead Durham View Record Elizabeth Fairbairn abt 1875 Gateshead, Durham, England Wife Gateshead Durham View Record George Fairbairn abt 1890 Gateshead, Durham, England Son Gateshead Durham View Record Georgina Fairbairn abt 1900 Gateshead, Durham, England Daughter Gateshead Durham View Record Henry T Fairbairn abt 1866 Gateshead, Durham, England Head Gateshead Durham View Record Thomas Fairbairn abt 1891 Gateshead, Durham, England Son Gateshead Durham 47 Devonshire Street Gateshead. Now the daft thing is his children are all born in Gateshead but I just couldn't see him.... Ran a search on Elizabeth in 1891 and didn't come up with anything that fitted either. Hope that helps some :~) Julie

Trudy re- Mills Here he is in <1901> Ada M Mills abt 1873 Irthlingborough Wife Harborough Magna Warwickshire View Record Clady M Mills abt 1896 Harborough Magna, Warwickshire, England Daughter Harborough Magna Warwickshire View Record John Mills abt 1869 Pailton, Warwickshire, England Head Harborough Magna Warwickshire He is a self employed baker - breadmaker. They live in 4 rooms. Run out of time - will come back on this later. Julie

Julie - Re John Mills - sorry but this John is not mine - my John was married to Anne Scurr in 1899. I was trying to locate him on the earlier census 1871, 81 and 91 to trace his parents and siblings. Thanks again - Trudy

Trudy - the challenge of working out which one is your man :~) That's why I start with the bit that I assume that you have got. Can you rack your brain and see if you can write down every detail that you know about John. I've found at least 4. Do you have occupations? The nurseryman is John the father yes? Where was he living when they got married? I'll have more time this evening....

Hi Julie So sorry not to be clear with my info. My details are a bit sketchy but this is what I have. John Mills born c1869 Warwickshire or Suffolk. I do not have marriage cert but have some info from it - he married Anne Scurr (born 1865 Warwicks) on April 3rd 1899 in Leamington Priors, Warwicks - address 89 Willes Rd. John Jr was listed as dairyman and his father John Snr as a nurseryman. Anne & John had four children, Robert John (born 1900) Muriel Mary Scurr Mills (1902) Ethel Hilda Scurr Mills and Marjorie Scurr Mills (twins born 1904). John Jr seems to have disappeared sometime after the last children were born and we have been unable to trace him. My goal is to try and find him in his early life to get his parents and siblings, that's why I thought of 1871,81,91 census. I realise it is a very common name but would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks so much..... Regards - Trudy

Hi Trudy - sorry about this, things have been hectic and not had much time on computer this week. I've kept finding dead ends - each likely one in the earlier documents was wrong in the 1901! <1901> Anne Mills abt 1866 Barford, Warwickshire, England Daughter Leamington Priors Warwickshire View Record John R S Mills abt 1900 Leamington, Warwickshire, England Grandson Leamington Priors Warwickshire View Record Mary Ann Scurr abt 1837 Spennythorn, Yorkshire, England Wife Leamington Priors Warwickshire View Record Robert Scurr abt 1834 Middleton Scres, Yorkshire, England Head Leamington Priors Warwickshire 89 Willes Road, Ecclesiatical parish: Leamington Priors St Mary Town: Leamington County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Well that's a start I suppose - at least I know that he wasn't living with his wife when 1901 taken. Not found a single John Mills yet that's been listed as a dairyman, just a matter of time ....
