I have an ancestor John Waterton who was born in Raythorp about 1814. The 1861 census says it is in Yorks but I cant find it anywhere. Does anybody have any advice on how I can locate the place or has anybody heard of it? Any help greatly appreciated. |

Youre a star Jim! 1881 census has him down as being born in Warmfield Yorks. Still non the wiser about Raythorp though. |

Is it hand written? Because there's Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, Caythorpe, Nottinghamshire, Both can be spelt with a K or KE to make matters worse! |

I think the numerator misheard Raythorpe for Kirkthorpe. If you google Warmfield there is a lot of info on the area. Good luck Irene |

Thats fantastic. Its amazing I got a marriage certificate today for my great grandfather and have leapt back in time to a whole bunch of ancestors that will keep me occupied for a while thanks to you two. This message board facility is really helpful if you get stuck and need alternative sources to investigate. Thanks again |
