Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Thomas is proving to be a real pain. Found his wife Rebecca on 71 census still at home with parents so god knows where he was. thanks again regards Debbie

Hi Chris I asked you before Christmas if you could find a William Hanton in 1871. He married Emily Hodson in 1872 in Sheffield so I am hoping he was in Yorkshire at the time. They settled in Rotherham after the marriage. His father on the marriage cert was Thomas Hanton, occ. farmer. I am wondering if he is in Yorkshire as well. I need details of his family. Many thanks and a good New Year to you. Regards Ann

Hi Ann Sorry I haven't got back to you.Where would be the best place for me to look for William. Rotherham or Sheffield.I have started to look in Rotherham but if you think Sheffield a better bet please let me know.Please bear in mind there is no name index so will be searching page by page,so could take a while Chris

Hi Chris, You have helped me out before and here I am asking for your help again. I am after information on the Walkers from Dewbury. Richard Walker (father) Phoebe (Mother) Elizabeth Sykes (daughter) 1826 Maria born 1825 Hester Sykes born 1823 Joshua 1821 Joseph Robinson Walker 1819 Mary Jane 1817 Robert 1815 John Thompson Walker 1814 All the children were born in Dewsbury and I would think that the girls got married. We will be glad of any info. Thanks Gail

Hello Chris Could you please do me a look up for Robert Hobson age 23 and his wife Lydia Hobson also 23 they are living in Denaby, York, on the 1881 census ,Robert was born in West Hallam,Derbyshire and lydia was born in Ilkeston, Derbyshire . Thanks Debbie

Hi Chris Sorry I had not realised it was not name indexed. He married from Church street Sheffield on the 19th May 1872.But my Grandad was born Masborough. Address Court 4, 1 Albert Street Kimberworth Rotherham, in April 1873. That is as much as I have. Thanks Ann

Hi Ann Do you know how old Emily was? was she a lot older than Thomas.I have looked in Church Street with no sign of Thomas or Emily but there was an Emily Hudson unmarried near by but she was a lot older then Thomas. Chris

Chris Thanks, you are so good for looking this up for me. Emily was 18 in May according her marriage lines but according to my other research she was just 16 in 1871.Her father was called John Hodson. I have found the family in 1881 so will look it up. I wonder where William was, he came from Norfolk according to later census info. He is pretty consistant about that and his age ( 29 on the 1881) Thanks again Ann

Hi Ann Still not found William or Emily yet haven't even come across anyone with the same surname,but what I was wondering as I have come across a few although no Emily,Could her surname also be spelt Hodgson. Chris

hi coul anyone do me a look up for the 71 census? Im guessing by the response someone has access! Im looking for David and Sarah Merritt, Patrick and Jane Harrold, Hannah Merritt, and Lawson Merritt. All of these people were born and lived in Beverley, East Yorkshire. Also if David is found was Edwin Mitchell Merritt living with him? Any help would be appreciated thanks louise

Hi Chris It is pretty definately Hodson though might have been spelt wrong on census. I think this is her family in 1881. 4 Court 1 Sussex St Sheffield. I am fairly sure as her father I know is John and she named one of her sons Emmanuel. John aged 51 labourer in steel works born Derby Mary 49 Newton Heath Sidney 29 Labourer Sheffield Emanuel 29 labourer Sheffield Ada 14 Sheffield By this time Emily was Emily Hanton living in Psalter Lane Kimberworth.

Hi Could you help me find Annie Elizabeth PRITCHARD b1862 poss West Ridings. I've looked on the 1881 but she's not there and at this stage un sure of her married name ( if ineed she had one ) as haven't found a death for her either ( maybe she's still walking the planet at the grand age of 142 lol) Any help, lookup or advice would be warmly welcomed Much happiness Debi

Hi Chris Sorry to trouble you again but just before xmas you looked up Greenleys in North Burton and Flixton/Folkton for me.You found this entry:- Robert Greenley, Head 34, ag Lab, b.North Burton Mary A Greenley Wife 32 Elizabeth H Greenley, daur 10, b. North Burton John T Greenley, Son 7, b. North Burton Matthew H Greenley, Son 2, b. North Burton William W Lyons, Nephew in law 8, b. East Ayton Does it give an address at which they were living? This would help me enormously as I lose this family between 1868 when they were in N. Burton and 1881 when they turn up in Filey. Regards Jeanette
