Find Ancestors

Lee Apparently if babies drew breath they were registered, that was something i learnt on here. I must go and do some bits take care Julie

Lol Julie Cheers for that Just phoned Wakefield council and they gave me a site to look at on here....it now gives all Wakefield and surrounding districts buriel info Ive been trawling through every page, but not found one yet, there are about 12 cemetaries to look at with around 200 pages on each. My mother has just phoned aswell....she remembers her mum (my grandmother) telling her about Joan, she lived for around 4 months, but she says she is sure her birth wasnt registered.??? Anyway cheers for the help Lee

I couldn't keep away lol Louisa died in 1946 Q2 Pontefract 9c 133 age 74. If you get them certificates it might help to find where they are buried. i can't help you there as i don't know the area Julie :o))

Im out the door now, will pick up later this evening then Julie

Julie Wow, yes, thankyou about the info on William and Joan, thats brill!! I would love for you to look for Louisa, hope Im not being too much trouble Lee

Kathleen Hi, Im sorry, I dont have a clue as to when he may have died. To be honest I used to do loads on my tree, then had some probs and didnt bother for ages.....I think my recent house move to where my grandparents and gt gt grandparents used to live has prompted me to start again....would be lovely if they were buried somewhere near!!! Lee

Ok Looked up till 1939 and couldn't see Louisa The one i found was Joan Doidge b Q3 1928 Pontefract 9c 224, ..................d Q4 1928 Pontefract 9c 153. Did you see i found William I have to go up the school now, let me know if you want me to carry on looking for Louisa Julie

Julie Would love any info you have...thankyou

If William was born 1872, then he could possibly have lived until 1970 ish (people can live to be over 100). This could mean a very slow, long trawl through the complete death index. Have you got a date where you know for definite they were dead (this would cut down on the searching)? Kath. x

Lee Yes found William Q3 1929 Pontefract 9c 142 age 57

Lee How far into this do you want to go or know. I have found a death of 1 of your nans siblings and they were only a baby, would you like the info Julie

Julie Youre a star :) Thankyou for this Lee

Lee It could be his dad i wouldn't like to say for sure. This is where you start spending your money, you could order it to see who the informants were and see if it ties in any where I am at the mo looking through the deaths from 1920 to 1930 to see if i can find William and Louisa Julie

Julie Just a thought, William,s father was also a William born 1854 in Tavistock Devon. Do you think its a possibility that he moved up here with his son,s family at some point, and maybe its his death 1913, as the age would add up, or is this just me clutching at straws!!! Lee :)

Hi Sue Thankyou There is a William H living with the family on the 1901 census aged 7. Appreciate your help Lee

Hi Thanks for your help, will do that Lee

Hi If you order their marriage cert it should give you their fathers names Marr reg iew Record William Henry Doidge 1891 Oct-Nov-Dec Pontefract Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire View Record Louisa Schofield 1891 Oct-Nov-Dec Pontefract Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire View Record Joseph Taylor 1891 Oct-Nov-Dec Pontefract Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire View Record Hannah Wilson 1891 Oct-Nov-Dec Pontefract Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire Name: William Henry Doidge Year of Registration: 1891 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec DISTRICT: Pontefract County: Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire Volume: 9c Page: 215 (click to see others on page)

give me 2 ticks and i'll look for the marriage

Frederick Doidge married Frances Whitby Q2 1924 Pontefract 9c 281 Lee...If you order this M/C and see if William was still alive, then it would narrow it down abit to look for a death Julie

Lee I think that Williams Death in 1913 is to old for your one. I think the best thing to do would be to find Fredericks M/C, which i don't mind looking for, but what i now need to know is when was Fredericks 1st child born Julie
