hi joanne. found nothing on the parish disc. nothing on the nbi. only one that showed up on the vri was william crispin. chr 16 july 1799 at adingfleet, yorks. f paul m mary sorry, sue.

Hi Sue Please could you help me with a lookup for the name of Winter. Robert Winter married to a Rachel Winter I am trying to find out her maiden name if possible or any information that comes up. All I know is that she died on 15/04/1838 at Knaresbourgh Yorkshire any information would be great. Thank you so much Melanie

Hi do you have parish records for the Leeds/Wakefield areas of west yorkshire. I need information on WILLIAM JOHN CRISPIN b. early 1800's, and his wife HANNAH WHEELHOUSE, whom I think was born in 1806. They married in 1838 at Holy Trinity Church in Rothwell. Any information regarding their ages/parents would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time Regards Joanne

sorry claire- no entries at all for that surname, sue.

Hi Sue, Could you have a check at all on 1700 and 1800's for any surname Chryst for me. I think if there are any, they will be in Sheffield. Many thanks Claire

sorry karen. not much on the disc for the areas you mentioned. have you tried yorkshire bmd. the leeds coverage is quite good. sue.

sorry vanda, none showing up at all. sue.

hi tracie- durham on line is very good. found some of mine there. the only info i have is a bit on barnard castle. sorry, sue.

Hi Sue, am looking for GOODWINS in NOTTINGHAMSHIRE from 1700/1800's. Any help appreciated, Vanda.

Hi Sue Do you have anything for Durham or Darlington? Thanks Tracie.

hi tony. neither of their births are on the vri. do you know who either of them married ? sue,

hi ann. the vri is from lds. i got the 1881 census from there too. the parish records came from ancestry. have a look on e bay, i have had a couple of bargains from there. but check the price 'new' first, cos sometimes they go for more on there , than they are new. stepping stones sell discs and so do s & n. depends what you want mainly , and what area . dont mind checking the w yorks parish for you, but i think they also sell the parish discs for other parts of yorkshire. sue.

Wow!!! Thankyou Sue! Guess you know what I'll be doing for some time now. It's certainly going to take a bit?!! of working out! Thanks for all the time you have spent on my query. Time for you to go and put your feet up now for a well earned rest!...Sheila

hi ann. i have the vri, that can be brilliant, depending when and where, and obviously who [lol] you are looking for. the parish record one, i bought from ancestry.com. it has over 1 million entries on it. main problem is working out where the parishes are ! so many have changed name. but it is easy to search, just pop name in and click. sue.

hi jan. 45 x cowell in yorkshire, but none in kippax. 645 [!] x skelton in yorkshire. 15 in kippax. want to throw some names at me ? lol sue.

Hi Sue Do your disks cover Allerton Bywater / Kippax area of West Riding. and areas of Leeds couple of names looking for are COWELL and SKELTON one of the Skeltons was born Halton Leeds area but that was in 1800's If you could have a peek at your disks sometime for me I would be grateful Thanks Jan
