My gt gt grandfather was John Grainger born in Sherburn Yorkshire about 1832. He married Ann Render born in Youlthorpe Yorkshire about 1834. Now, I have found a marriage on Family Search for a John Grainger marrying a Ann Bender in 1853 in Hayton, Yorkshire. Can I assume this should be Render not Bender ???? AND....is Hayton anywhere near Sherburn or Youlthorpe? They lived in Cawood after the marriage ??? HELPPPPPPPP..too may English places !!! Thanks |

Hi, It could be the right marriage. The only way to be sure is to get a film of the records at an LDS centre and have a look at it. I always check out IGI info as so much of it is mistranscribed or downright wrong. I can't help with the geography but try www(.)streetmap(.)co(.) uk - it's very good. Gwynne |

Hayton and Youlthorpe are not too far apart. There is more than one Sherburn, but neither is very near to there. |

thanks Gwynne & Angela. Funny thing is that John & Ann's daughter Alice (my gt grandma) married a bloke who's mother was a Render & from Youlthorpe as well. hmmmmmm |

Hi Karen Lots of my hubbie's rellies come from the same area. It sounds like you are looking at Sherburn in Elmet - Cawood is very close to that. Not come across the other places. Re the marriage, I checked Free BMD, but nothing there. I'm sure somebody on here would do an 1837online lookup for you if you post the details. Good luck Pauline |

Youlthorpe & Hayton are both villages to the east of York, only a few miles apart. Hope that helps. Jack |

Keep an eye on this site, too: http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk It may come up with something relevant. I did wonder about this one: Yorkshire Birth indexes for the years: 1840 Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Reference RENDER Ann Skelton York SKE/1/25 but it doesn't look quite right for the info you've given.

If you have the birth year right - the marriage date is a bit early isnt it? |

To throw a spanner in the works - here is an 1853 marriage on ancestry civil reg, no Grainger in sight: About this database A collection of indexes to Birth, Marriage, and Death records for England and Wales, between 1837 and 1983. More information below « Global Search Results Name Year Quarter District County Volume Page Mitchell, Thomas 1853 June Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding of Yorkshire 9b 428 Procter, Mary Ann 1853 June Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding of Yorkshire 9b 428 Render, Mary 1853 June Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding of Yorkshire 9b 428 Robinson, Thomas 1853 June Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding of Yorkshire 9b 428 nell - couldn't find anything for Bender. |
