Eleanor Steward CLAPHAM 1807-??

iclapham — 7 Jan 2009 9:09:26 GMT

Eleanor Steward CLAPHAM was born at Kirkgate, Leeds, 23 Sep 1807, and baptised at Leeds Saint Peter on 18 May 1810.

Only her father's name is recorded in the baptism register, George CLAPHAM of Kirkgate.

Has anyone come across Eleanor in any other records, marriage, burial, census, ??

Trying to find her mother's name. Suspect it might be Ellen or Eleanor STEWART/STUART as Eleanor Steward CLAPHAM had an elder brother John Stuart CLAPHAM, born 1791. Nothing on the IGI, but there are Eleanor STEWART/STUARTS in Yorkshire, although I suspect George and ?? did not marry in Yorkshire. There is a John STUART marrying at Leeds Saint Peter in 1764 which is a possibility.

Anthony, Edith or Donald GARNER

jogregory121 — 2 Jan 2009 11:47:29 GMT

I'm looking for any info on any of theses people:
Edith Barbara Rose Evans I think maybe from Kent, England area ?

I have found a Wedding Certificate for:

Edith B R Evans to Donald G A GARNER
September Qtr of 1946 reference number Vol 9c Page 1753

There is a record of Edith having a child before she married named: Anthony Gerald Gregory Evans.
Born 20th March 1945, Holbrook Belper R.D.

I assume Anthony may have changed his last name to GARNER?

Donald died in 1987, in the Halifax area.

I have since found out Edith & Donald GARNER lived at Bardon Villa, Claremont Road in Halifax up to 2002.

Looking for any info that may lead me to contact either Edither or any children .....

James Jackson(?) fromYorkshire- family mystery

sgeorgein — 15 Dec 2008 8:43:26 GMT

Family legend says that my great grandfather was deported to Canada after being convicted of Crimes Against the Realm and being stripped of his citizenship. It was also said that he changed his name and there is no one now alive that knows the true family name. He went by the name of James Jackson born abt 1844 in England and married Sarah Ann born abt 1856. I have a possible lead in a marriage certificate I found. A James Jackson married Sarah Ann Reeves in Toronto in 1886. Their ages and his occupation match. He lists his birthplace as Peel/Hull Yorkshire and his parents as James and Ann. I haven't been able to confirm or rule out this possibilty.....What sort of crime would be considered Crime Against the Realm???? Is it a political crime?(I'm from the US). Another part of family lore is that he offer my grandfather $10,000 to join British forces at the start of WWI. Any thoughts or information will be appreciated.

Nicholas Osgodby and the Osgerby Family Tree

tomhopkins127 — 12 Jul 2008 11:48:24 GMT

I would appreciate some help in finding out more about Nicholas Osgodby. He was a vicar in the 1600s at St Mary's church Beverley, and I believe he is one of my ancestors. I would particularly like help finding out about his children I'm assuming he has, but I don't have access to parish registers. I think the name changed to Osgerby somewhere along the line as I know I'm directly related to George Osgerby, the coachbuilder of Highgate, Beverley. Also, has anyone got the Osgerby family tree their willing to let me see, as I'm rather stuck!

Thanks,

Herbert Steel - born 21st June 1869, 100 Ravenhurst Street, Aston, Birmingham

KarenInce1969 — 27 Nov 2008 9:33:02 GMT

Herbert Steel (born 1869) was born to Hannah Steel (1844-1903)at 100 Ravenhurst Street, Aston, Birmingham. Hannah actually resided in Whitwell, Yorkshire. I am looking to find out who the father of Herbert Steel was. Herbert Steel was my great-grandfather. On 1871 census he is marked down as a 'nursing child' with a family in a 'well-to-do' area in York, Yorkshire. On 1881 census, he is actually living with his mother, Hannah Steel in Yorkshire, but she has him marked down as her nephew, not her son. I think that there would of been some monetary provision made for Herbert Steel, but I don't know how to find this out. I think that there maybe a Bastardy record for him. I don't live in the area, and am limited to viewing records online only. I would appreciate any help towards finding who the father of Herbert Steel is. Many thanks.

I have the Basatady Order so I now know the Father is a William Thomas from Stansfield, would you continue to research the Fathers line ?

Also the mother was Jane Collins can you give some tips on how to research back on her line, I cannot find anything in the IGI or Census about her.

Thanks

READER or REEDER family

Don READER — 22 Oct 1998 12:00:00 GMT

I have traced my READER (or REEDER) family back to the 1600's in Stainforth (parish of Hatfield),WRY beginning with a Robert REEDER and his wife Sarah (Saray). Their children included sons Robert, William, and Joseph, and daughters Susan(ne), Mary, Grace, Elizabeth and Sarah. Robert(I) died in 1708 or before. (Info from the Manor Court Rolls of Hatfield)

Robert READER(II) must have moved to Whitgift (WRY) as there is a READER marriage there to Mary HOOTON in 1724 and the following baptisms from the IGI:

Dorety dau Robert Reader bap 11 Apr 1725
Ann dau Robert Reader bap 18 Dec 1726
Robert son of Robert Reader bap 28 Jun 1730
Mary dau of Robert Reader bap 16 Apr 1732
Sarah dau of Robert Reader bapt 5 Sep 1734
Eleanor dau of Robert Reader bapt 14 mar 1739
Joseph son of Robert Reader bapt 18 Apr 1742
Thomas son of Robert Reader bapt ?? Jan 1745

Then the family moved to Blacktoft (ERY) across the River Ouse as these entries are found:

Eleanor Reader married Stephen Clark 30 May 1764
Ann Reader married George Cross 11 Dec 1764
Joseph Reader married Ryall Bayliff 20 March 1765
Mary daughter of Joseph Reader bapt 30 March 1765
Robert Reader married Grace Brigham 1 Oct 1767
Robert son of Robert Reader bapt 3 Jul 1768

All of these (except the two Marys) are mentioned in a "diary" of the daughter-in-law of Eleanor (READER) CLARK written about 1840 in Ohio,USA. Robert(III) and Grace emmigrated to Virginia by 1773, as did Eleanor and Stephen CLARK(E).

By the way, Stephen CLARK(E)'s parents are said to be John CLARK and Mary READER (daughter of Robert,I and Sarah above) which would mean that Stephen married his first cousin. I am looking for confirmation of this link

Any information on the BRIGHAM family could be helpful too.

Thanks and Cheers!

Any help would be appreciated

I have traced William North from Norwich, Norfolk to Leeds arriving between 1860 and 1870 with his family. It is his son James Isaac North that is of interest to me.

James Isaac North
b. Dec 1849 Norwich

His son William E. would be the only male member of the family serving by the 1901 Census,

William E. North b.1877 Leeds was living at home in 1901 with his mother and sisters Lucy and Annie. They are in the Civil Parish Armley.

I am at a loss as to how to continue and learn more about William. I tried writing letters and sent 20 to North's in the Leeds area and have 100 more names and addresses.

3. MARY JANE3 KAY (RICHARD2, WILLIAM1) was born 1854 in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England, and died 1921. She married WILLIAM C CHATTERTON 1874 in Knaresborough England, son of JOSEPH CHATTERTON and MARY. He was born 1847 in Thorpe, Willoughby, England, and died 1939.
More About WILLIAM CHATTERTON and MARY KAY:
Marriage: 1874, Knaresborough England
Children of MARY KAY and WILLIAM CHATTERTON are:
i. ARTHUR W4 CHATTERTON, b. Abt. 1876, Ravensthorpe, Lincoln, England.
4. ii. FLORENCE LOUISA CHATTERTON, b. Abt. 1879, 2 Cheapside Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England; d. Wellington. NZ.
iii. EMILY CHATTERTON, b. Abt. 1881, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.
iv. PERCY CHATTERTON, b. 1885, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.
v. MABEL CHATTERTON, b. 1887, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.
vi. WALTER F T CHATTERTON, b. 1890, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.
vii. MAY ETHEL CHATTERTON, b. 1893, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.

I now have information that this may be the wrong Florence and that she may have been born:
Florence L. CHATTERTON Rotherhithe, Surrey, England
With a mother called:
Emma Jane CHATTERTON b abt. 1855

Can anyone out there check on a marriage Cert. and help me please?

YATES and SURTEES family

DOB7 — 3 Aug 2008 8:38:22 GMT

My great grandfather Alfred Yates (b.1848) was a stone mason in Gomersall, Yorks. He was married three times(!) to Emma ?, Lizzie Wright and Jane Kibble, who was my great grandmother. His father was a Thomas Yates of Birstal, Yorkshire, but I have no more information about him, nor the name of his wife. I have traced several men who I suspect were Alfred's brothers: Thomas (b.1840); Henry (b.1844)and John (b.1847). Any further information or confirmation please?

I am trying to trace some info on my grandads parents and would appreciate any help you can give.

He was born Fred Laverack Storr in Dec 1914 in Selby. His mothers maiden name is listed as Storr. I have been told that his father was killed in action in WW1. I'm guessing he was killed early on and before my grandad was born hence the reason for him been given his mothers maiden name - maybe?

He was adopted and his surname changed to Margrave.

Does any one know of a Storr that had a child put up for adoption sometime after 1914. If so any details of names etc would be appreciated

Thanks - Craig

Marriage certificate

kearnold1 — 12 Oct 2008 11:03:31 GMT

Hi - I have a marriage certificate for my gt grandmother - her name was Sarah Pickles Sunderland and she married Fred Dobson on 14 Aug 1897 at Haworth Parish Church in W.R. Yorkshire. Where her father's name should be there's a line drawn through. Where it should have father's profession - the word 'deceased'. I have another marriage certificate where a parent was deceased but it still gave the name of that parent. I wonder why they didn't give the name of her father - I would have thought it might have been illegal not to put down her father's name even though he had died.
any ideas anyone?
Thanks very much,
Kate

'FRANKLANDS'

JFrankland3 — 30 Sep 2008 8:52:44 GMT

I have been researching Frankland family tree now for a while, I am now stuck !! CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!

I am still trying to figure out about Henry Frankland b., abt 1711 his Father was (I am led to believe by many other people) to be Thomas Frankland b. abt 1685, I am getting lots of contradictory birth dates and death dates. I.e., I have 1685 for Thomas as well as 1665, and also I am led to believe that Thomas was married to Elizabeth Russell b. 1695.
It is all very confusing, as well as mind blowing, as there seems to be 20 years discrepancy !!!!!

I have William Frankland 1645-1697 married Mary Turton b 1645
They had 1 child Thomas Frankland born 1685 married Elizabeth Russell b. 1695 they had one child Henry Frankland b.1711 who married Mary Cross b.1715
they had William Frankland b. 1737 married Jane Burton (supposedly) b.1733.

Can anyone possibly verify any of these dates please.

And Also who was William Frankland 's Father????? b.1645

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE ???!!!

I believe all these people where in and around 'Whitby' Thirkleby and Thirsk areas.

Many thanks - VERY FRUSTRATED PERSON !
