Nudging this - as I had to leave the pc. Hope nobody minds. Stella

Am now back. Sorry everybody, but had to go to help a neighbour. If anyone else has any ideas I would be grateful - not too experienced at this. Thank you everyone. Stella

I was hoping to find Fanny Clarkson in 1891, or Louise, but I can't see them on first glance and I have to go out now, so hopefully someone else will be able to continue Linda

Stella the west Yorkshire Archives may have patient lists for the Hospital, worth a try. Their web address is... http://www.archives.wyjs.org.uk/ Georgina.

Feel free to carry on helping though - LOL

O M G Linda - who was Louise Clarkson? Now you've got me wondering !! Have to leave the pc for a short while - got a neighbour just called.

Oh thank you Georgina and everyone else - you're stars. Stella

Another patient in at the same time was a 17 year old single girl called Louise Clarkson who was also born in Allerton Bywater Linda

Stella it was the Cliff Fever Hospital, it looks very small like a cottage hospital, she probably had a bad fever there were lots around at that time. Georgina.

Oh Georgina - yes !! Where was she a patient - can I find out? I wonder why she was in hospital. Thank you so much. Stella PS She must have changed her name then ?

I have tried all sorts of variations on Ellen/ Helen wildcard searches with Cla* I just can't find her, Linda I like the look of the patient one though

Thanks Georgina - you can tell I'm inexperienced at all this!

Yes Linda - that is the right family. I do know they had a daughter Olive, but am puzzled about Ellen born prior to the marriage. Many thanks.

Stella, there are usually 4 names on a marriage entry (8 names on earlier entries) the other 2 people would have married each other. Georgina.

1901 presumably iew Record Elsie M Goodall abt 1900 Allerton Bywater, Yorkshire, England Niece Allerton Bywater Yorkshire View Record Fanny Goodall abt 1879 Boston Spa, Yorkshire, England Wife Allerton Bywater Yorkshire View Record George Goodall abt 1876 Allerton Bywater, Yorkshire, England Head Allerton Bywater Yorkshire View Record Olive Goodall abt 1898 Allerton Bywater, Yorkshire, England Daughter Allerton Bywater Yorkshire View Record Samuel Longley abt 1834 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Boarder Allerton Bywater Yorkshire Boston Spa is near Tadcaster, so is probably in that reg district Linda

Georgina - who are the other 2 names - Annie Lawton and Charles Frederick Simpson?

Yes Georgina - that is the marriage. Cannot understand where Ellen is in 1901 though - thought they would have had the child with them. Doesn't seem to be with grandparents either. Stella

Possible marriage... Marriages Jun 1897 Clarkson Fanny Tadcaster 9c 1399 Goodall George Tadcaster 9c 1399 Lawton Annie Tadcaster 9c 1399 Simpson Charles Frederick Tadcaster 9c 1399 Georgina.

Her mother's name was Fanny Clarkson and her father's name was Wigglesworth (surname) - don't know christian name. Fanny married a couple of years later to George Goodall, but I was told the child was raised by Fanny's parents Mary and Reuben Clarkson, but I cannot find her with them. Stella
