Hi, I'm a new member of group I have an old legal document (thought to be genuine and not something prepared for tourists) it consists of two sheets (76*57cm) bound by tapes & seals on a heavy paper and deals with parcels of land and people in the Tadcaster area of York There are some 20 names on the document none of which have any references to our families I think my wife purchased it to have it mounted/framed as a wall feature, difficult as two sheets and writing on both sides Until recently it sat in an archive box, and I've transcribed it to see what it's all about, all very complex and still trying to understand Am thinking the York Group members will recognise the locations and possibly some of the players involved Basically, I'm looking to flesh out a story about the document and what might have happened down the track, to be kept so people can read if interested There are ~ 20 names having varying references & roles and the main ones are John William CLOUGH George SWIFT Richard TOMLINSON Richard MORLEY George SAVILE George ADDINNELL William HARTLEY Stephen HARTLEY And locations mention include: Tadcaster, Oxton House, Newton Thyme, Wises Intack, Tadcaster Low Moor I've attached the WIP Transcription together with a photo of the document and a section of the binding/seals and signatures Cheers Ken Morris New Farm Brisbane

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.
