Mail
Help please! I am trying to find any information at all about my Great Grandmother Mary Ann (Polly) Littlewood. She lived in the Almshouses at Dewsbury. She had 2 children, my Grandmother, born about 1910 ish, who I think was christened Fanny, but changed her name to Geraldine. I know Geraldine had a brother, but don't even know his name. Geraldine married Ernest Mail, who I believe came from Huddersfield, he was certainly a proud Yorkshireman. They had a son Gerald, my father, born c.1927. He went to Almondbury Grammar School (now King James' School), and trained as a pharmacist, moving to London. I remember a Great Uncle Gilbert Yates being mentioned when I was a child, who was said to be a Don at Cambridge. I have tried really hard to find information in the birth, marriage and death internet records and a genealogy site, about all of them but have drawn complete blanks. I have no documents or accurate dates for any of them and know so little about them. I would be very grateful indeed for any information at all.

My great grand parents used to run the chip shop in Ingleton, my grandad Edward the only child (eddie) I think sold it 79/80. I can still remember the lovely pictures etc, he also told me about a kind lady (relative) who ran a chip shop in Liverpool. I always wondered if the fish shop was in the family prior to this as the house and bedrooms ran across the top of the bank etc next door, what naughty things children get up to with two sets of stairs! I went back several years ago and the orchards etc have all gone, that I remember playing in. I remember my Nan telling me about taking her children to meet Eddie's grandmother, a frightening figure for her.... dressed in black with a starched white cap on sat as straight as a rod !would she be Jack or Flos mother?? Although Eddie married a girl from Birkenhead, Norah Perry, their son John, visited Ingleton as much as he could and thought of it as "home" and married a girl from the Leek family although she went on later to be called Taylor, from nearby Bentham. We still have family in both villages but from my mothers Leek/Taylor side. I know of no other family, for example did Jack and Flo have siblings and was Alice ? the lady who ran the fish shop in Liverpool, Jacks sister?

Metcalfe
I am trying to trace the family of Joseph Metcalfe who married Harriet Dowson or Dawson at Beeford in 1850. This couple emigrated to New Zealand in 1851, but both died within 10 years leaving orphaned children, including my great grandmother. Their marriage certificate gives his age as 21 years, and fathers name as James Metcalfe, Gardener. I have found a Joseph Metcalfe baptised March 21st 1830, son of James & Ann Metcalfe of Darley. Also a marriage between a James Metcalfe and Ann Rhodes in 1825. Harriet Dowson was 23 years old in 1850, father's name Richard Dowson, Labourer. She may have been born in Bridlington to a Richard Dowson and Sarah Read. Does any-one have any information on these families? I would very much appreciate any help.

Mowforth
I have been researching the 'Mowforth' name for nearly 15 years and have had a good year or two but things are slowing down. I have had very little contact with people exact through Genes Reunited and most of them have got their info indirectly or directly through me. So if anyone knows of a 'Mowforth' or any details relating to them. They appear to have started Cumbria c1600 then moved across to North/East Yorkshire c1700, c1800, & c1900 though laterly moving further a field some down to London. They appear to have originated from farming then moved onto the Railway. They have then moved about because of their jobs.

Mudd
My 8 x great-grandfather, Thomas Mudd, arrived in Virgina in 1665, sailing from the port in Bristol, England.  I'm trying to find any of my English ancestors from before this time.  This is going to be quite a long shot, seeing that its been over 300 years, but might as well ask.  Any ideas how I can research this?
