How to find a will please
Hi everyone
I have in my records: 1604 Thomas WHELDRAKE, city of York, will written Feb 19, caveat added
June 19. Admin Acts, books 1603-1611.
Does anyone know how I might find this please? I've searched Find My Past wills and probates with no result.?
Thomas was buried in Saxton in Elmet in 1609
thanks very much

Re: Frank Herbert GIFFORD
Hi Jen,
Thank you for all your help.?? Hannah was either pregnant or almost pregnant at the time of the 1881 census to Joseph DRISCOLL who she married in Brighton in 1882.? Having done quite a bit of research on this family they were not afraid of changing names, status etc.? So Hannah possibly used "widow" to cover herself. I cannot find a death for Frank Herbert GIFFORD and so she was likely a bigamist when she married for Joseph DRISCOLL.
Annie GIFFORD in the 1891 census is a puzzle as you say.? She changed to Annie DRISCOLL in the 1901 census living with Hannah.? I cannot find a birth to Hannah for an Annie circa 1876.?
?But there is this one:? Annie Driscoll born 1876 DRISCOLL, ANNIE ? ? Mother's maiden name = HARRINGTON ?
GRO Reference: 1876 ?M Quarter in BRIGHTON ?Volume 02B ?Page 244
Child of William and Mary Ann DRISCOLL, nee HARRINGTON, married 1855.?
I haven't researched the DRISCOLL clan in Brighton but there is a Mary and Annie DRISCOLL working together washing and ironing.
I've found a couple of newspaper reports that involve Hannah and Annie DRISCOLL.
Frank seemed to avoid census records! Thanks again Lynley
Hi Lynley,
Looking at Hannah GIFFORD in the 1881 Census, she is listed as a widow and when she married Joseph DRISCOLL in 1882 she had reverted back to her maiden name so could it be possible that Frank died between 1878 when his son Frank Charles GIFFORD was born and the 1881 Census? ? ? (You might have to refresh the page to see the preview)
Frank's signature when he married Hannah in 1863 does not match the signature in 1879 to Emily HOW so I don't think they are the same man. ?
The Annie GIFFORD aged 13 stepdaughter of Joseph DRISCOLL in the 1891 Census is a mystery too. ??(You might have to refresh the page to see the preview)
I couldn't find Frank in any of the Census in England either...very frustrating!

Re: Frank Herbert GIFFORD
Hi Jane,
Thank you for all your work here on Frank Herbert GIFFORD....I am doubtful of the Cambridgeshire birth as I think it might marry up with a Herbert H F GIFFORD born there in 1837.? I have it tucked away as an option however.
Yes Frank got into trouble with the law and/or charity organisations.? I did smile over him using the stolen printing gear to make his own business card, including the 9th Lancers!
The repetition of the 9th Lancers is something of a linking clue. As you say Jane he is a complicated character. Lynley

Re: Frank Herbert GIFFORD
Thank you very much.? I had wondered how long he was in the 9th Lancers and when he was discharged.? The number of years seems askew with Frank stating he was in the 9th Lancers at the time of his marriage in 1863. ? His son Frank Charles died in 1880 Dec quarter Vol 2b p139 and I had wondered if that was the final straw for Frank.
Hannah and their children lived with her parents from the time of her marriage to Frank until her parents went into the Workhouse in Brighton in their late 70's, circa 1878 and her name is mentioned as being a problem to the Mendacity Society in Brighton from 1878.? I suspect Frank was a very poor provider.? There is also a 7 year gap between Frank and Hannah's first and second baby.? I had thought he might have been in India with the 9th Lancers during that period but....???

Re: Frank Herbert GIFFORD
Hello Lin,
Well that is interesting.....My suspicion is that Frank Herbert GIFFORD played games with names and occupations.? It is likely that both he and Hannah were bigamists if the Canterbury marriage is him.? She was dirt poor so no money for a divorce.
I don't have subscriptions to the big websites due to the cost.? However Findmypast has all records open for Remembrance Day so I will have a snoop.
I did not know how to post the url to the Desertion notice off Ancestry and a fellow researcher, now deceased, had passed it on to me.? The Leeds place of birth saw me sign on to the Yorkshire group in the hope that I might track down the elusive Frank. Thanks for your help Lynley
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.

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.
