Sorry I haven't been around much the last few days so just read your messages. Please have some patients as I am very busy at the moment and I have my son home for Christmas and New Year so we will be in competition, who can get on the computer first.He will more than likely win as I have to go to work,But I will get round to your look-ups, it will just take some time unfortunatley Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Chris

Thanks Chris. That's brilliant! It's added some children to families I knew about and given me some names to look into. Thanks once again Jeanette

hi chris not sure if this will be on the yorkshire census but can you please look for a Thompson family. Head would be Joseph(dont know DOB or place,hoping if you find the family it will send me in right direction).He will prob be working as a Sythe Grinder. Wife- Hannah, B c1868, conisbro,yorkshire Son- William Joseph, B c1867, Greenhill,derby. Daug- Clara, B c1868, Greenhill, derby. Son- James John, B c1869, Greenhill , derby. and depends on date of census.. Tim Henry B 21/5/1871. I think they will be living around greenhill,which has always been in sheffield, but was under derbyshire not yorkshire. thanks for any help you can give. Joseph is driving me mad. cant find anything about him due to fact that he died before 1881 census & hannah remarried & moved to Hackenthorpe(also in sheffield).Cant find a marriage for him & hannah,if fact only know about him due to name on birth cert on Tim Henry. kerry.

Hi Janet I had a lovely christmas thank you,hope you did also.Still fighting to get on computer.Son gone out for the night and I did the late shift at work so I've managed to get on.Unfortunatley I wasn't able to find your Wiley family in Cayton only seems to be a tiny place.I found a Stephen Wiley a farmer age 66 and his wife Francis age 64.In a place that looks like Farnham which seems not to far away but not sure. I haven't looked for your Haigh family yet as that will take a little longer so will have to wait until son goes back to base.I did look for Brittain Court though.but they weren't there. Sorry I wasn't much help this time round,fingers crossed for the next look-up.I'll be in touch as soon as pos Chris

Hi Frances I found 2 Gilling's in the yorkshire census but I'm afraid I couldn't find your Eggleston family in either place Happy New year to everyone .I hope you all have a great time tonight and have lots of luck in the coming year Best wishes Chris

Hi, Im not sure if Ive already asked but could you see if there is a Thomas Brentley please in 71 census. He was born 1847 in Middleton Tyas. The family spreads from there to Evenwood and Barton but hopefully still at home with family. Parents were Willam and Ann Brentley. thank you Debbie

Hi Chris, you seem to be a very busy and helpful guy, I wonder if there are any Dannatt's in Hull or Lincoln on your 1871 list? I got stuck with Charles born 1898, my grandfather. Mike Dannatt

Hi Debbie I found Thomas' Parents William Brentley Head age 49, Mason's Labourer Ann Brentley Wife age 51 , Field Worker Isabella Brentley,Dau,age 22,Dairymaid Ann Brentley,Dau age 14,Scholar Margaret Brentley Dau,age 10 Scholar Rachel Brentley, Gr Dau age 5 Weeks or Months Sorry couldn't find Thomas in the area. Chris

Hi Michael There isn't a name list for the 1871 census but I am looking in the Hull area for someone else, so will keep a look out for any Dannatt's for you Chris

Hi Chris, any chance that you could find out for me who was living at 6 Plane Street, Leeds in 1871 ? The house was in either the city centre or Quarry Hill area. Thanks for your time. Kind regards. Martin

Hi Martin No one at 6,Plane street. but at 6,Little plane Street,there was Mary Drulan Head widow age looked like 50, Hawker born Ireland Elizabeth Drulan,Dau age 14 Mill Hand,born leeds Margaret Haley Lodger age 20 Washerwoman born Ireland Chris

Thanks for that Chris, maybe the house I was looking for was either vacant or not built in 1871. Could I ask for another house lookup please? Could you tell me who was living at 23 Back Lane, Leeds in 1871.I believe that it was in the Quarry Hill district. Thanks again for your time. Kind regards. Martin.

Hi Val Already had a look for Stephen's Terrace and Strickland Street but couldn't find them..Thomas isn't at Campbell Terrace or Hessle road either.So what I'm doing at the moment is looking in that area just in case he hasn't moved far.Also looking for Frederick Muller and John Leonard Revill at the same time so keep your fingers crossed I find them this time. Hope to be in touch soon Chris
