WEBSTER Aiskew early to mid 1700s
‘Evening, my time, Listers,
Would there be anybody out there who knows anything about Robert WEBSTER who married widow Ann ELLERTON (née BODDY) on 1 October 1724, Bedale?
Ann and her first husband, Edward ELLERTON, had three children. Edward, a butcher in Aiskew, died in 1720 and their children, at the marriage of Ann to Robert WEBSTER, were aged about 12, 9 and 4 years old.
So, the three children were really raised by Robert and Ann and I have no idea where they lived, but probably Aiskew, what occupation Robert was involved with or really anything about their lives together. Robert and Ann had possibly three children themselves.
The eldest of Edward’s and Ann’s children, Francis, became a farmer and marred Dorothy SCOT, "of Nuton" in 1738 at Burneston.
I would like to know more about Robert WEBSTER, if anyone can help me
John.

Re: BODDY Patrick Brompton, Little Fencote, late 1600s.
I haven’t got to grips with this site yet. I hope I replied via the website, but in case I didn’t do it properly, the answer is ooooooops - yes. Sorry.

Do you mean the 1670/80s?? Listers,
I am chasing the ancestry of George BODDY who, when he made his Will dated 10 March 1718, was "of Little Fencote", near Kirby Fleetham. I know absolutely nothing about his wife, however his children were baptised at Patrick Brompton in 1770/80s.
Any help and/or information will be much appreciated.

‘惭辞谤苍颈苍驳,
I am seeking anyone who has knowledge of John and Ann HARRISON, of Swainby, and their forebears.
They had at least seven children all baptised at Pickhill-cum-Roxby between 1744 and 1756. The youngest, Mary, married Francis ELLERTON on 18 may 1780 at St. Lambert’s Church, Burneston.
I have Ann’s Will dated 21 April 1781 when she was living at Leeming Lane. Her probate was granted 24 January 1786.
Not much to go on but if someone could fill me in on this pair, then I would be delighted.
John.

Good morning,
I am rejoining this group after an absence of 15 years or so. There is so much more information available these days, so I am trying to solve some mysteries again.
A so-many-great grandfather of mine, Francis ELLERTON, married Dorothy SCOT at St. Lambert’s Church, Burneston on 31 August 1738. I know heaps about Francis, but all I know of Dorothy is:
“Francis Ellerton of the Parish of Beedall and Dorothy Scot of Nuton in the Parish of Burneston with Publication of Banns” ….. and that’s it! Not a lot to go on. So, if anyone has any connection to any SCOT or SCOTT from the Burneston, (Scabbed) Newton, Londonderry, Leeming, and possibly Carthorpe, area I would be delighted to make contact.
Best wishes to all.
John.

Thankyou Nivard. That’s interesting because a recent previous message suggested Free Find my Past data via a link they provided. However, the link took me to a joining page for My Heritage. I was quite disappointed by this, and was rather saddened to think that FMP may have been taken over.
Your news restores my trust in Find My Past. Once again, “Thankyou.”
Regards,
John

Re: Hull - cemeteries and crematorium
For those using the Hull burial records at familysearch.org.
?
Remember to also look at the appropriate entry in the grave ledgers for the grave in question. These will give the burial numbers of all the burials that have taken place in that grave up to the time of filming. You can then use the burial numbers from the ledger to find the other burial records in the registers.

Re: 1931 Electoral Register
Hi Lin,
If you have a look at the Bradford Voting Registers (which I know you are familiar with), you will find that they give the qualification address and the abode.
If you pick the Exchange Wards (the centre of Bradford), there are very few people living there but lots of qualified addresses, such as
or
Can't explain how the voting system actually worked though.
Best wishes,

On the
following record 1931 Electoral Register? John
WILKINSON's address is 125 Anlaby Road - he is
qualified to vote in Parliamentary elections through
a business premises qualification and in local
elections through occupation of property
qualification and his abode is given as Inglenook,
Ellerby.?
If he is
eligible to vote through the business premises and
occupation of the property why mention his abode?
Can
anyone please explain how the voting system worked
in 1931?
