There's also these two making him slightly older...

Robert Hallam abt 1833 1897 Apr-May-Jun Nottingham Nottinghamshire

Robert Hallam abt 1834 1897 Apr-May-Jun Prestwich Lancashire


I'm not too sure about the area for any of these deaths except the one in 1903.

I might have missed it, but I can't find Robert Hallam's death either between 1891 and 1901.

Joy I've found this marriage.


Eli Milner 1888 Oct-Nov-Dec Dewsbury Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire

Richard Rignall 1888 Oct-Nov-Dec Dewsbury Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire

Mary Jane Riley 1888 Oct-Nov-Dec Dewsbury Yorkshire - West Riding, West

Jane Elizabeth Spurr 1888 Oct-Nov-Dec Dewsbury Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire

I've found the Rignalls in 1891 census so it may be her marrying Eli Milner.

Haven't found them yet in census to find her age to see if it's her.

Right

Back on the hunt now for Mary Jane!

Joy

I've had a look at the Eliza entry & I agree it looks very likely.

I was a little worried about this one
Eliza Cantrell Martin,
Elizabeth abt 1868 Ashover, Derbyshire, England

as she appears in 1871 not in 1881 when your Eliza appears BUT she IS there with her parents misranscribed as Cantrill so I agree totally that Eliza Cantrell in 1881 is your Eliza......YAY

I'm so pleased for you.

Well done for tracking that entry down!!

Everyone except for a possible marriage for Mary Jane Riley post 1881.

I think you're right Joy & I've had a look at the 1851&1841 for Henry as Ryley & it looks the most likely for him also.


Is that everyone accounted for right through now?

Joy *The Carlos Cutie of Ilson* Report 28 Jun 2008 21:36

Yes. I'm almost positive that's him.

I think you might be right Joy

Just posting the ref incase I lose it.
Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 3829; Folio 49; Page 10; GSU roll: 6098939

I suppose the spelling depends on who was writting down the information.

I did spot Ryley spelt that way a couple of times yesterday while searching for the others.

Hi Joy I'm back

Pleased you've tracked down Eliza! At last..

I'm going to go back & have a look at the Joseph Riley in 1891.

Joy *The Carlos Cutie of Ilson*

Joy *The Carlos Cutie of Ilson* Report 28 Jun 2008 19:01

The Joseph you've found in 1891 I don't think is mine. Went trawling and found this.

Joseph Ryley born c1857 Sheffield, Yorkshire.

Tried tracking him back and found nothing with that spelling.

I've also tried tracking Henry Riley (born c1831 Mansfield) back to 1851 with that spelling and nothing comes up, but there does with the RYLEY spelling. It comes us as born in M WOODHOUSE ie Mansfield Woodhouse.
