HARRISON Swainby 1700s
‘Morning, 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.

SCOT Nuton/Newton
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.

Tracing merchant seamen in the 19th century 2
Trying to trace a merchant seaman in the later parts of the 19th century is fairly difficult. There are no records of service, ‘pouches’, or central records. If you know the name of ship, then you can trace their service back through crew lists and agreements but otherwise you need to consider other avenues. Fortunately, for officers, there are registers of certificates for masters and mates. These give certificate number, date and place of birth and date and place of where certified. They also give details of voyages. These records are now searchable on Discovery by name, details of birth or certification. This is thanks to our offsite volunteers.

Hannah JACKSON 7
I am trying to find the birth of Hannah JACKSON mother of Grice JACKSON and to see if the Hannah JACKSON who married Robert ALVIN is the same person. Any help appreciated 1843 21 Feb 1843 Marriage Grice JACKSON Servant living @ Paull, father Mathew GRICE, Servant, to Jane DUNN, Servant of Sigglesthorne, father William DUNN Labourer - Parish Church in Sigglesthorne- witnesses Prudence CHAPMAN and George MOOR 1821, 22 Apr Grice JACKSON bap *(IGI) born Owthorne, mother Hannah JACKSON spinster #123 Grice son of Hannah JACKSON spinster, ceremonies performed by Chas BARKER curate 1822 Grice JACKSON living at Barb Lane Owthorne in one of 2 cottages left on the cliff. 1829 June 6 Robert ALVIN of Welwick Patrington married Hannah JACKSON of Welwick Patrington. Banns said living at Sunk Island The reason I think the Hannah JACKSON who married to Robert ALVIN is Grice’s mother is because in some bios of Grice he said he was living at Cherry Cobb Sands where his parents farmed a smallholding. Grice age 5 or 9 left Owthorne and went to Cherry Cobb Sands. If I can find Hannah's birth certificate I think I will have the answer

Joseph BENTLEY 1814-1874 9
I'm trying to determine who the parents of Joseph BENTLEY (1814-1874) are. He was buried at Morley Wesleyan 13 Mar 1874. He married Ann ELLIS 1 Feb 1835 in Batley and had two children. She died in 1841. He married Mary WESTERMAN (1820-1851) in 1843, had two children and Esther BROWN (1825-1905) in 1853 and had six more children. In the 1851 census he is married to Mary with their daughter and son and his two children from his marriage with Ann. Lidian (Lydia Ann BENTLEY) is my ancestor. I've always thought that Joseph's parents were Jonathan BENTLEY (1787-1859) who married Mary RHODES 14 Feb 1806 in Batley. Certainly his marriages to both Mary WESTERMAN and Esther BROWN indicate Jonathan being his father. What makes me wonder if this is wrong is not having dna matches with others further back when there should be a match. I must have made an error somewhere. There are many other families with parents Joseph BENTLEY and Martha FIELD but I'm the only one with Jonathan and Mary. I would appreciate some other eyes looking at this and telling me what they think. Julie Kane

MOVERLEY
I've been able to prove my MOVERLEY line back to a marriage in the parish of Bramham in 1676. John MOVERLEY appears to have come in from elsewhere as there are no earlier references to the surname in the parish registers and he is not named in either the 1672 or 1674 Hearth Tax lists. The only other MOVERLEYs in evidence at this time were resident in the parish of Kellington about 15 miles to the south but I've yet to find anything that might link him to them. He remains an enigma.

James SYKES (b circa 1833) 2
James SYKES (b circa 1833) married Hannah ATKINSON (b 1837), in Castleford in 1857. I cannot find them on1861 census. I would imagine that were some between 1857 and 1862. 1911 census says she had 11 children - (I've found seven of them). 6 living. They had two children I am sure of in Hopton - George Thomas in 1862 (not on GRO but have his baptism) and Hiram b 1864. Both were baptised on the same day in 1864. James is now William James. Between 1869 and 1872 he appears to be known as Joseph STEAD. Joseph is on 1871 census, 36, coal miner, place of birth not known, Hannah, 28, born Monk Bretton*, George T STEAD, 9, Hiram STEAD and Ernest STEAD. Mary Ellen STEAD daughter of Joseph and Hannah (ATKINSON) was born Court 13 Shambles St in 1872. When she married in 1895 her surname is SYKES, father James SYKES (deceased). Witnesses were Hiram and Annie SYKES James SYKES died 6 June 1875 at Court 13 Shambles St, Barnsley. Hannah was the informant. *Hannah was baptised in Wragby, Yorkshire in 1837, daughter of George and Anne . On 1871-1911 censuses she gives her birth place as Monk Bretton. Yorkshire]. Hannah SYKES married George ROLLINGS in 1877. In 1917 Hannah was murdered by her daughter Annie STEAD. Any help in locating them in 1861 would be gratefully received. Lin
