Just like to thank everyone again, and yes all were going down the right track, but just wander why other sites are used doesnt GU give enough information, or is a matter of what one subscribes to?

People with experience of researching never use GR for research

Read the tips threads at the top of this board to find out where to look for info

have you looked on familysearch for records prior to 1837 ?

Carrying on from a thread i started 8th May, I see William Dyson is the father of Thomas Dyson b1817, but which are the correct records to see this,
also Benjaman Dyson is Williams father, again which is the correct record to view.

I am wondering if Harriet is actually Hannah's sister and her surname has been mistranscribed and should read Dyson!

Susan, dont quite know where i got Benjaman from, but I new i had made a mistake,

thanks one and all for all this info,

Thelma yesterday stated William Dyson was Thomas Dysons Father, but looking under marriages here, is there 2 possibilities in Emley marriages 1811and 1812, also who would be Williams father? wont ask any more after this!
Am i working you too hard?
WII have to do my own homework!

Hi Robert

Most of us helpers use Ancestry or Find My Past to search for records

FreeBMD and FreeReg are also good form BMDs

I am just about to sign out for the day........but I check back on here tomorrow.

You can see from Thomas's baptism record that his mother is Mary and his father is William occupation Cooper.

Which also ties is with his marriage record....Father William occupation Cooper.

Don't worry about...."I wont ask you any more after this." and "Am I working you too hard?".......To which the answer is No.

It is what we like to do Robert..........so keep asking because it will help you to pick up some tips along the way.

Prickles. :-)

RobertD

In your initial post you have put that you got back to your greatgrandfather using census records.

It is much better to work back using a combination of census records and birth, marriage and death certificates, otherwise some nasty mistakes can arise.

As you said, you do not want to assume anything.

As a lot of information has been given here, you need to copy it all down to double-check that you understand how it has been found and what it all means. Some of it may not relate to your family, but can be given to eliminate wrong leads.

As it is your family it is far more interesting to do the research yourself, and ask for help when you get stuck.

You can go and look at those census entries from the information given, and see what has been written down on the actual images.

Different sites have different records, and you can see the actual baptism images on some.

Mike gave you a link to family search, do you use this?

Travel at your own speed, but also realise that not everything can be found on the internet, and you may have to leave your computer and visit to get to all the records.

Going by the 1871 census.....it seems William and Mary had another son....
