Re: Richard ASKHAM & Mary THOMPSON

I can find no tree for Richard ASKHAM/ASKAM and no marriage or baptism for his father Richard.

That line looks dead.

THOMPSON is probably easier.

Re: Richard ASKHAM & Mary THOMPSON

Name: Richard Askham
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 1841
Gender: Male
Age: 70
Birthplace: Yorkshire
Schedule Type: Household
Registration District: Pontefract
Sub-District: Ackworth
Parish: Kirby, South
County: Yorkshire

That does not fit so looks as though Richard's father died before 1841.

I can't find a baptism or a marriage. No burial 1800-1841 on FS.

East of Wakefield.

Oh. Rothwell is well east of Lockwood too.

Hemsworth well east of Lockwood also.

We are stuck with ASKHAM so I've moved to THOMPSON.

Yes, I have had second thoughts now I've refreshed my memory where Lockwood is in WRY. :biggrin:

Oh, one other thing. It's sometimes HASKHAM.

This seems the last child:

Thomas Askam
christening: 4 October 1809 HEMSWORTH NEAR WAKEFIELD,YORK,ENGLAND
parents: Richard Askam

same distance from Wakefield as Pontefract.

Re: Richard ASKHAM & Mary THOMPSON

Looks as though Richard baptised 1800 is the first but I can't see a marriage a bit before that if Hannah was born 1781.


Can't be the same Hannah if age 60 is correct:

Richard Askham
marriage: 26 December 1786 Darton,York,England
spouse: Hannah Coldwell

Re: Richard ASKHAM & Mary THOMPSON

Yes, it seems we have a Richard & Hannah and a Richard D & Ann.

Has to be two of them:

Thomas Askam
christening: 4 July 1809 Hemsworth, York, England
parents: Richard Askam

Eliza Askam
christening: 30 July 1809 PONTEFRACT,YORK,ENGLAND
parents: Richard Dickon Askam, Ann


The marriage for Richard D & Ann fits.

The 1786 marriage in Darton to Hannah is too early so do we have 3x Richard? Looks like it:

George Askham
christening: 5 January 1788 DARTON,YORK,ENGLAND
parents: Richard Askham


So can't find the marriage just before 1800 for the Richard & Hannah with children baptised at Hemsworth.
