Hi All Could anyone do me a North Yorkshire Lookup Please. I have this family on the 1861 Census and they are living in County Durham I am looking for a Robert Hill born c 1811 at Egton Yorkshire and Wife Mary ?? Two children were born John 1850 and Robert 1852 in a place called Grimston, North Yorkshire. I am particulary interested in Their daughter Hannah who was born in Scarborough in 1848. Any Help Much Appreciated. Maureen

Hi Maureen, I have gone through North Grimston for you and there is no Hill families there at all. Sorry, Claire x

On the 1861 Census living at Witton le Wear Robert Hill, head Widower born 1811 Egton Yorkshire Elizabeth, dau, aged 17 born Scorby, Yorkshire. Matthew son, aged 16, born Scarbro Hannah, dau, aged 13, born Scarbro John, son, aged 11, born Grimston Robert, son, aged 9 born Grimston Any Help Appreciated. Maureen

Hi Claire Thankyou for that. Where do I go next. Maureen

I am having a look through some neighbouring villages to see if they are there for you. Claire x

Thankyou Claire. It just seems odd to have 2 children either side of the census at Grimston Maureen

Hi Maureen I had a look on the 1841 in Egton for you but your Robert wasn't there. There was a Hill family with a son called Robert though so perhaps his father was a brother of your Robert. Jeanette x

Claire does your disks also cover the Richmond area. As I have this family also. in 1861 Thomas Waites, head aged 35, ag lab, born Eggleston, Durham Anne, wife, aged 36, born Northumberland Joseph son, aged 11, born Forcett, Yorkshire Esther, dau, aged 8, born Forcett, Yorkshire If your not too Busy Thankyou Maureen

I have found this on the IGI IGI Individual Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 British Isles Search Results | Download | Pedigree -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOHN HILL Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: 25 AUG 1848 North Grimston, Yorkshire, England Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: ROBERT HILL Family Mother: MARY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tried to look for Robert but there is no record of him at all. I think that the family may have moved on and just put both children as born Grimston. Best thing i can think to do is look for Robert's birth and get the certificate and see where he is actually born. it could just be that they were somewhere else census night and then went back there. I will have a look at Richmond for you now. Regards, Claire

Thanks Jeanette These two families are my headache lol. As I cannot find a birth record for Hannah to get her birth cert. I do think her baptism is on the Igi with a mother of Mary Hence the ?? is her though. I have applied for 1 cert and had my cheque sent back. Family History, Eh Maureen

Just having a look through Scarborough 1841 for you to see if he is there.

Claire I have just found Robert on the 1871 Census with a birthplace of Wham Yorkshire. Where on earth is Wham Maureen

Maureen, it looks like wham is in county durham according to google. that is where they were in 61 as well isnt it, county durham? let me know if you need another look up on yorkshire. good luck with the certificate, let me know if it is her. regards, claire xx

Thanks Claire Ps Dont forget to send me the 1851 for the Waites Family. Thankyou Maureen

Hi Maureen Not in Scarborough in 1841 I'm afraid. Had a look at Scalby also as I thouht this might have been misheard as Scorby. Unfortunately some of the images on my discs aren't very good and Scalby just happens to be one of them! So perhaps you could ask if someone else has the 1841 and can look at Scalby for you.

Thanks Jeanette I know how hit and Miss they can be. I now know so much more about them than I did an Hour ago. Both of your efforts are truly Appreciated Thankyou Maureen
