Possibly under Helmsley in 1841 or not !!! Tried just Farndale and nothing comes up. Maureen

Hi everyone, how do I find out which area a small place in the North Yorkshire Moors came under in the '41 & '51 Census? I have a Mary xxx born Farndale c.1840. She married William Stead and had lots of children. I can't find her maiden name so thought if I searched everyone in Farndale I might get some clues but it's not listed. Any idea what area it could have come under? Thanks :-)

Have you tried to find the marriage? When was the eldest child born? Reg

Sorry guys, I did exactly what we tell newbies not to do! I went off to do something in the kitchen and forgot all about this - sorry. Yes that is them William and Mary. I don't think I could find their marriage - seem to remember looking months ago. Eldest child was born c.1868.

This is probably the birth reg'n for the eldest.the cert will tell you Mary Ann's maiden surname Name: Alfred Stead Year of Registration: 1867 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Pickering County: Yorkshire - North Riding Volume: 9d Page: 384 You can search the full bmd records on Ancestry without charge.....just register with the site..........

Hi Blossom, It looks like the marriage that Reggie found in the index was at Kirbymoorside on 24 December 1864 - William Stead bachelor 24 and Mary Ann Green Spinster 25 (d/o Robert Green, miner)

Hi Blossom, The likely baptism of Mary Green was on 23 December 1839 at Kirbymoorside. Father was Robert Green, Collier and mother Betsy Smith. Grandparents Thomas and Jane Green and Isaac and Mary Smith
