Find Ancestors

Someone here at GR has a Henry Clayton born 1779 in Yorkshire in her tree.

Might be worth a contact to see whether she knows anything more about hers!

Okay will do Thanks Again

Thank you for that
looks like I am back to the beginning it is so frustrating Thank you so much

But remember -- the info from the IGI was submitted by someone, and it could be completely wrong. It could also be the result of someone seeing the actual parish record and misreading the surname themselves.

If you can check out the Yorkshire parish records, that might settle it!

Had a look, and I would say it is as I suspected:

ESCOTT

Hmm.

That's okay, Georgie, I don't have a scanner, lol.

Will send you an email address.

Hiya I have managed to scan in the document will try to pm you with it not that I know how to do that but here goes

Good Afternoon Evie, Richard and Sylvia I am having problems with my scanner so I cannot scan the document in looking at the document maybe the E could be an C but it is a fatter one than the one used on Clayton wish I could scan it in for yous guys sorry!!!
Geordie

Me too.

Syvia three, I'm sure!

Do you have any way of scanning it and uploading it somewhere we could look at it, or emailing a copy?

If you got it at ScotlandsPeople, I imagine you can save the image as a file and you could email it (we can give you email addresses by private message).

I'm often pretty good at deciphering things, for one.

Geordie - out of interest, could you have another look at the mother's maiden surname on his death cert - the one that you first thought looked like ESERTOT. I'm curious to know whether you think now that it could be CLARKSON, given the above info!

cheers,
Richard

geordie

you are very welcome!!


Hope that it does turn out to be your guy!!!


sylvia

Wow thanks so much I am sorry I was away shopping I would like to thank everyone so much this is amazing
Thanks Evie for PM me

Geordie

thanks evie!





I'm having some server problems ............ it will only let me open one internet site at a time, so I can't switch from here to any of the other sites. I usually have at least 4 sites open all at once!



sylvia

Done!

PLEEEEEAAAASSSE!!!!!!

somebody pm Geordie!

she has to see these replies!

C xx

... but did Geordie ever come back to this thread and get the info above? A shame if not as it certainly looks like it's who she was looking for.

it certainly was something to notice!

glad OH was impressed.


I just get told how badly I am mispronouncing welsh words!!!



sylvia

Heh, Sylvia. When I said "I just went there", I meant the website, lol.

Right after reading this thread, I went to the site and found, I think, my 3xgrandfather being discharged from the army in 1821.

Even the ever-bored other household occupant was impressed by that. He started to glaze over as usual, and then said Wow, that's almost 200 years ago! Then I told him about the parish records back to 1550 for one of my other lines. I think it was the details from 1821 that impressed him though -- an ancestor who would likely have been in the Napoleonic Wars -- just like Geordie's. That's something to notice.

that's right


blame me!!!!



Evie ... you might be right, a visit to the Archives might be in order ...............another day though!



sylvia

As a matter of fact ... I just went there, and found in the Records of the Royal Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals a fellow who I am pretty sure will be my father's father's father's mother's father ...

Thank you ever so much for inadavertently telling me that!
