Filder or Fidler
My 2G grandmother was Ann Eliza Filder, the daughter of Robert
Filder, who at the time of her marriage to William Tomlinson of
Dudley in 1838, was a miller living at Eves Hill, Worcestershire.
She was born in Driffield, Yorkshire in 1814. After searching the
records for Robert Filder in Driffield at that time, the only name
which resembles this is that of Robert Fidler, also a miller employed
at the Bell Mills in Driffield in 1822. During 1828, Robert purchased
the mill and converted it to mill pulp in order to produce paper.
The venture seems to have been unsuccessful. Is this the same person
who moved to Worcestershire? Are Robert Fidler and Robert Filder
the same person? I am looking for information on either person
and would appreciate any help.

I am trying to trace the family history for Firby. My maternal
g.mother was born Mabel Annie Firby on 9 April 1891 at Finghall,
near Leyburn and spent the later part of her life at 6 Wycliffe

I believe she was one of 15 children. I am aware that some of
the family moved to Canada as well as Australia/New Zealand around
1910/1920. George & Frank Firby went to Canada and appear
to have settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and were in contact
until 1978. Meanwhile via a separate website a a family of Firby
appear to have been born at Hunton north of Finghall/Leyburn
during the 1700's and 1800's. I would appreciate any information.
