Does anyone have a Laura Auty born 1875? A friend has a small section of sampler which she found in a shop in Grassington. It was done by Laura Auty aged 10 in 1885. I have a scan of it if anyone is interested. Janice

Not mine, but I'd love to find something similar for my family. There are people on this site researching that surname. Is this Laura in 1881? Eliza Auty abt 1851 Halifax Rastrick, Yorkshire, England Wife Rastrick Yorkshire James Auty abt 1848 Halifax Clifton, Yorkshire, England Head Rastrick Yorkshire >> Laura Auty abt 1876 Halifax Rastrick, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rastrick Yorkshire James was a tailor.

Gwyn, it probably is her. There's a birth in 1875 on FreeBMD registered in Halifax. None of the Laura Autys in Quick Search are the right date. Janice

There may be a link for the people on GR who are researching AUTY b. Halifax. There is someone with an Auty birth in late 1860s so maybe Laura links to his family. Gwyn

In 1891 James and Eliza are living in Slaithwaite and now have Laura, Ernest and Arthur. Laura is still single and at home in 1901 so that could be her marriage.

Janice I too checked the census, hoping to find Laura's married name. I don't know Yorkshire but I understand that Slaithwaite comes under Huddersfield R.D. so that made me wonder if this could be her marriage. I was hoping to find some children with mother's maiden name Auty after cross matching names on freebmd, but it's on a' Go slow' for me. Gwyn

nudge for evening shift Gwyn, If the Huddersfield marriage is correct, she married Joel Bennett or James William Walker. Janice

Well done Janice ! I've tried to find Laura's father with his parents before his marriage to Eliza, but no luck so far. I thought we could perhaps trace her cousins or aunts on someone's tree. Have you found Walker matches? I don't know the area well enough to make possible links Gwyn .
