Re: Frank Herbert GIFFORD
Lynley
The marriage in 1879 is on FMP
He's of full age, bachelor, Private 9th Lancers, father Henry
Woodhead GIFFORD, architect.? It's rather a coincidence if there
are two Frank Herbert GIFFORDs in 9th Lancers.
If you have access to FMP it might be worth checking the two
signatures for Frank.

Hello listers,
?
I am trying to find out more about Frank Herbert GIFFORD.?
He married my gt gt grandfather's sister Hannah MORRISON on
August 10th 1863 in Brighton, Sussex.? I do not have a birth
date for him so he was possibly born before civil
registration.
?
On his marriage certificate he states his occupation as a
Corporal 9th Lancers and his father named as George William
GIFFORD, Gentleman.
?
Hannah
and Frank had their first daughter named Louisa Annie.? She
was baptised on July 3rd 1864 in Brighton and Frank's
occupation is "Officer".
Their
second daughter Minnie Bertha was born on 12th March 1871 in
Brighton.
A third
daughter was born on 24th December 1873 in Brighton with
Frank's occupation recorded as Commercial Traveller.
A son,
named Frank Charles GIFFORD was born on 14th July 1876 in
Brighton, his father's occupation was recorded as Commercial
Clerk.
Around
1878? the relationship between Hannah and Frank broke down.?
There is a possible marriage for a Frank Herbert GIFFORD to
Emily HOW in Canterbury, Kent in 1879, June
quarter vol 2a, pg 1139
Hannah
remarried in 1882 to Joseph DRISCOLL in Brighton.
?
UK
newspapers list several? reports regarding Frank Herbert
GIFFORD and many link to his pride in being in 9th Lancers
and serving in India.
His last
UK newspaper record is from Yorl, Yorkshire in 1888 when he
did time for theft.
However
there are two newspaper reports from a Toronto newspaper in
August 1889 for wife beating and again mention is made of
his military career.
On
Familysearch there is a marriage record in Toronto in July
1889.? His parents are recorded as George Edward and Louise
Charlotte GIFFORD, Frank's occupation Surgeon.??? So this
may not be the man I am interested in.?
I cannot
find a death record for FH GIFFORD in England or in Canada.
I have
not found any confirmed UK census records for Frank.
2 of
Frank's daughters emigrated to Canada in 1888.? Hannah did
not die until 1909 in Brighton.
Any help
would be gratefully appreciated.? Thank you

Re: Controller driver in a Steel Mill? Help pls.
I can't find anything on the specifics of the job, I suspect its moving heavy items around with overhead hoists but could be wrong
I suspect its nothing to technical as of the 35 I found with that occupation transcribed in the 1921 census and the 1939 register, 23 were 19 or younger, the youngest 16

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.

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.
