Tallentire
I have traced some relatives to the Ravensworth area. George Tallentire
(born around 1793) was sentanced to transportation at the York
Assizes in 1817 and transported as a convict to NSW in 1818.
I have been told by someone else that he married a Mary Allison
in 1814(??). I have not been able to find any information on
the internet regarding George and his family and if he did marry
Mary Allison. If someone in the area could help, it would be
most appreciated.

Tankard
I have traced my g.grandfather, William Tankard, back to his birth in 1842 in
Horbury. He was a stone mason. He married my g.grandmother, Sarah, in 1869
and they had five children. It also appears from the 1881 Census that they
adopted two small girls, named Martha and Jane E Mallinson, possibly children
of a deceased relative. Could anyone enlighten me please or possibly give
me information on William or Sarah's parents? Thanks in anticipation.

Townsend
I am searching for decendants of my uncle, Charles Henry Townsend, born in
1885 in Somercotes, a miner from that area, who married Elizabeth Ludbrook
in Dinnington Parish Church on 15/4/1911. I believe that he had two sons but,
if so, I do not know their names. His father was Thomas Townsend, also a miner
in the Mansfield area. Any information gratefully received.

Turner
I am trying to find out about my Grandfathers family. My Grandfather John Turner
was born 02/06/1888 and I believe he had a brother Richard who could have been
born in 1886, and a sister we think might have been Louise. We were given to
understand that his parents were killed in an accident, maybe something to
do with a train! On or around 1902. They lived in the area of Stanley in
Wakefield. John Turner married Hilda Firth in 1913 and they had 3 children,
Edna, Audrey and Dorothy, we believe dorothy died as a small infant in about
1917/1918.
If anyone has any information would you please contact me, anything at all
that might help solve this mystery. My mother is approaching her 82nd birthday
this year and would like to finally know something about her paternal grandparents.

Turner
My
family lived in Earby for several generations until my mother
left in 1980. Im now in the process of researching my Turner
family history in Earby and I've now come to an apparent brick
wall and wonder if anyone can offer any help or suggestions.
Previous response to a different request last year has provided
a wonderful worldwide source of contacts and information.
With
the use of the Thornton in Craven Parish Registers and the local
census I'm sure about the family line back to the birth of Joseph
Turner in 1802. Thornton
in Craven births record:
Joseph Turner (illegitimate) baptised 13/6/1802 of Sarah, reputed father John
Cock carpenter Earby - Date of Birth 7/6/1802
In
the 1841 census Sarah (mother) is living with Joseph and his
wife Sarah and their family and is aged 75. Sarah's death (27th
Sept 1843) at age 76 in Earby in the Parish of Thornton was registered
on 30th Sept 1843, Sarah Turner (daughter in law) being the informant,
also living in Earby.
So
here we have Sarah (born c1767), however the Parish Registers
have no such birth recorded. So far other local registers searched
don't help. I'm convinced that Sarah must have had other relatives
in Earby and that she herself was probably born in Earby as much
effort at the time would have gone in to make sure she was in
her Parish of Settlement.
I
would like to find any existing documentation in addition to
the Parish records or births, marriages and deaths. I was wondering
if anyone has done this before and might know anything that might
help me. Earby in this part of Craven where the boundaries have
changed being a difficult area as the records which exist are
spread in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Has anyone any ideas where
I should go to go next, or has anyone done any detailed Earby
family history research in this period 1750 to 1800?
Any
ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am descended from William Tyson and Mary Jane Cooper who lived

after first living in Launceston. I think a married sister, Ellen,
was left in Hull. Any relations to this family are sought to exchange
notes about the family tree.
