Hello, Again I think this birth looks promising: Name: Lightfoot, Frances Mary Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1875 District: Scarborough County: East Riding of Yorkshire North Riding of Yorkshire Volume: 9d Page: 360 It's only slightly late, so could just be a delayed registration. It's the only Mary Lightfoot transcribed so far for the period 1873-75 who was also registered in Scarboro'. And, of course, the first name is very persuasive! Hope David comes back soon! Christine

Sorry ladies, just missed Mary off when I typed. Still doesn't explain where they went, unless it is the Lightfords that you found. Worth a look I think

Thanks Christine. I'll have a look.

If you look at the 1891 image, the name could be LIGHTFOOT and not LIGHTFORD. There isn't a cross to the T and there are two lower case squiggles which could be almost anything which has neither a hanging nor a sticking-up bit. On the other hand that also means there's no spare loop for the 'd' after the o and r. I propose to offer that as another interpretation on the Ancestry site. I'd be inclined to claim them unless anything more plausible turns up: it's the right combination of ages and first names. The address is Burr Bank.... I think! As for a number the sequence on the page is: 3 - 5 - 9 - [no number] - 4 - 7 Guess which one your probable family lives at! - Yes, the no-number house. Christine

Thanks, just going to have a look now. Will keep you posted.

I think you're right. I'll say that's them. But will still keep my eyes open for any others. Many thanks for your help.
