Parker
My maternal grandmother was born Rosa Parker in 1863. She was
the youngest of ten girls born to George and Emily Parker of
Grange
Farm, which I think was near Whitley or Grange Moor. She was
married to John Edward Smithson, son of James Edward and Harriet
Smithson
of Huddersfield on 24.12.1885 at Kirkheaton Parish Church.
They were master plumbers and I believe both father and son
were killed
in a gas explosion on 3 May 1902. Subsequently she married
John Cawood, born circa 1848, possibly from Leeds. I have no
information
about the Parkers, Smithsons or Cawoods prior to this. Of the
ten sisters, one, Martha, married Mr Beatson and had a daughter,
Beatrice.
Another had a daughter who married a Mr Sheard. I would welcome
any information.

Any information regarding the following greatly appreciated,

all normal channels seem bare of information! Anybody needing
church/graveyard visits in Burton Fleming or Bridlington for
family research I will gladly help!
Stewart Challenger Peacock b07/12/1921 South side

married a
lady from Norfolk Iris Haverson - how she came to be in
Bridlington or how they met is unknown! Both Stewart and his father
are reported by family as being fishermen on trawlers based in
Bridlington. Stewart and Iris had children in Bridlington, one
of who is my mother-in-law (Meril Alison Peacock)
Stewart's parents were: John Challenger Peacock and Florence Grimshaw
bmd's unknown.
Family history recounts another son William Peacock
died in battle on 07/07/1917 serving 2nd Btn Gordon Highlanders
and
is buried
in war graves at St Sever. Although the memorial certificate
states Mr & Mrs Thomas Peacock as the parents!

Peacock
One of my wife’s descendants is Rhoda Peacock – born
1826 in Grinton, Yorkshire. She married William Lodge
on 24th May 1847 in Manchester Cathedral. Rhoda’s parents
were Mark Peacock – born 11th May 1787
in Grinton, Yorkshire, who married Jane Spensley also
from Grinton. Family folk-law says that Rhoda was in some way
linked to the Beyer-Peacock engineering company in Manchester,
England.
One
of the founders
was Richard Peacock – born 9th April 1820 – in
Swaledale, Yorkshire. His father was Ralph. Can anyone
help to establish Rhoda's link to Richard Peacock?
Research shows that a Ralph Peacock – born 1782 was the brother
of Mark (same one as mentioned earlier). Does anyone have any information
about the descendants of Ralph? If I can establish that Rhoda’s
father (Mark) and the Ralph (father of Richard) were
brothers, then Rhoda and Richard (above) were cousins.

I was given old photographs and recently had one person identified as Tommy Taylor,
a well known local Rugby Player. I am curious to know how, or if, he was connected
with my Wagstaff family as the photo was amongst momentos from my uncle Harold
Ferguson Wagstaff (from Fitzwilliam).
I also need help with family members that I did not know existed
until I began my family research. Family of James Wagstaff & Mary
Ann Price: Henry 1890 (my grandfather), Percy 1892, James Cyril
1894*, Harold 1896*, Charles W 1898*, Herbert Redvers 1900*,
(the latter * names are new to me.) Can any one help with information.
Henry married Florence Violet Ferguson and they lived at Railway
Terrace in Fitzwilliam. Sons Harold and Herbert.

Proctor
I am researching my
great grandfather - Thomas
Henry
Proctor. He was
born approx 1861
and his
army papers
say he was born
in Appletown near Yorkshire.
Unfortunately I don't
know which Appleton
that would be. His father
was William Proctor also
from Appletown
and
his mother could
have been Hannah.
Thomas
joined the
Army at Leeds in 1880.
If anyone can help me
as to
which Appleton
this
could be, or can help
with my quest then I would be
very gratefull.

Purdy
I am trying to find a record of my G-G-Grandads marriage to a Johanna
Herring. He was born 1819 in Bawdeswell, Norfolk. we gather he
was in the armed forces. She was born 1830 in Fermon, Ireland.
Fermon might well be Fermanagh, but later census records say
Fermon. The marriage took place in Northern Ireland in 1856.
Any help would be very welcome.
