I am trying to trace some of my distant relatives who
had strong connections with Kildwick, I am trying to find out the
last name of Jacobus Wilcocks' mother. Jacobus or James was christened
in Kildwick Parish church in 1705 and the only information I have
at the moment is that his father was called Henrici and his mother
was Elizabethae and i think they lived at Silsden Moor.
Jacobus also had siblings called Mary born about 1706, John 1703, Henry or
Henricus 1713 who married Anna Briggs at Kildwick in 1733. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me solve the riddle of my missing great-grandfather? His name was David Williams and he was born in about 1859. His father was called Richard Williams and they were both fishermen. David married my great-grandmother, Amy Lowden, in Hull in 1882. David and Amy had my grandmother, Lilian Isabella Williams, in Hull in 1883 but I cannot find David on any census, and I can't find his death. I think he must have been lost at sea as Amy was living with someone else in the 1891 census but using the surname Lowden. She had children with David Lowden but did not marry him until 1897 and on her marriage certificate it states she was a widow. Any information would be great, thanks.

Wordsworth
My great grandmother was Henrietta Emma Wordsworth. She was probably
born about 1850 and died in July 1924 in Nussouri in West Bengal,
India. She married police superintendent Albert James Cornelius.
They had at least three children, Joline Ida Wordsworth Cornelius
(born October 1875), Stella Adeline Wordsworth Cornelius (born
November 1872), both born at Fitzabad, Bengal, and Effie Charlotte
Cornelius, my grandmother. The maiden name of the mother continues
as the Christian name of the children one of my names is
Wordsworth. My research has shown that the Wordsworth family
was, and still are, from north-west Sheffield.

Wright
We are researching my wife's family and believe her great grandfather John Wright a coal hawker and later gas worker was killed in a gas explosion in York or area round about the turn of the century. I understand there may have been some kind of gas explosion in May 1902 but have no further details. His death must have occurred after March 1896. Many thanks for any help you can give us.
