Thanks Chris

For that information I will add it to my records. I didn't have Esthers death and I'm not sure if I had the burial date for Beatrice Mary.

All the best

Thomas Gray died 29th June 1901 so could not be Hilda's dad.

He accidently drowned while working on the skelton Bridge on the River Ouse in Yorkshire. There was an inquest. Please can someone tell me how I find out what the inquest said.?

I tried googling the accident but nothing came up.

Jane

Thanks Dea

The link to the new thread is:

Perhaps we should all keep to this one as this is where most of the info is. ??

I will put an appropriate message on the new one to avoid us all duplicating the research. ;-)

Please see new thread Merchant Navy look up.

I was hoping to find him either on the Merchant Seamans records or Apprenticeship records. He just seems to have gone missing between 1881 and 1891. Then re appeared for his marriage in 1892.

I have also sent for Thomas Death cert in 1901 to see if Hilda is sarah Anns child.

Sorry if I have caused any problems

Jane

Thanks for that ArgyllGran I might just send for that. It could make interesting reading.

Thanks again everyone

Jane

If Thomas did indeed die in 1901, then Hilda is presumably the daughter of someone Sarah Ann subsequently had an unmarried relationship with in 1906, and no father will have been named on her birth record.

If you buy a copy of the birth cert you'll have a definite answer.

Thanks Catherine,

for all your help. I will add it all to my notes for safe keeping,

I must stop now and start getting tea ready.

all the best.
Jane

No, I would suggest that this is a good possibility for parents marriage:-

Can't see a baptism yet but this looks to be Sarah in 1871:-

Hannah Stephenson Wife F 25 Wawne, Yorkshire
Robert Stephenson Son M 4 Wawne, Yorkshire

.....as reg.dist. is Beverley then I would think this would be her birth:-

Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration Year: 1868

That death in Howden is looking good as the age would be right.

Both this one and baptism for Elsie were found on line (ancestry).

Is there any chance someone could find a baptism record for Sarah Ann Stephenson b1868 Meaux, Yorkshire. Her parents were George and Hannah Stephenson.

Her birth was registered in goole.

Thanks

Jane

Catherine Thank you for that info I will make a note of it and add it to the list of certs I need to get.

Argyllgran, Gritty and Yvonne thank you for your help. I will add the information to my notes.
I am begging to get a better picture of his life now and maybe I can include him in my 52 week challenge soon..

all the best

Jane

Same tree has the following for Hilda:-

Birth: 1907 - Yorkshire, England
Marriage: 1929 - Sculcoates, Yorkshire, England
Parents: Sarah Ann Stephenson

No father's name given. Maybe her marriage certificate will give her father's name, if known????

Thank you all very much for all your help.

I've been looking for Thomas's death but didn't couldn't find it. I wasn't sure were he died.

As for him being Hilda's dad. I found a comment in my notes to suggest that she wasn't their child but I didn't give a reason for thinking that. so perhaps she's not there's.

That is Elsie's death. They had another child called Beatrice Mary Gray b 1894 Gainsborough and she was the other child they lost.

Its a shame that Burton upon stather baptism records are not available on line and neither are Hulls so I can't check them.

Thank you for all your help

Jane
