Richard ASKHAM & Mary THOMPSON

[DaveHam9]

Hello cp,

Richard ASKHAM b. 1800 Hemsworth - gardiner - have death certificate.

Mary THOMPSON b. 12 Aug 1798 Rothwell - school teacher - have burial.

First daughter Mary Elizabeth (called Elizabeth) born 1834 Rothwell

Possible although a bit early if Elizabeth was the first. I think Leeds is too far away, and why Leeds when neither were born near Leeds. ???

Groom: John Richardson Askham
Bride: Mary Thompson
Date: 26 Oct 1830
Place: St. Peters, Leeds, Yorkshire

About a dozen John ASKAM / ASKHAMs born in Yorkshire 1802 +/- 10

Need to eliminate John Richardson ASKHAM somehow. Won't be that easy because ASKHAM and THOMPSON are both common names in WRY.

Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

I just looked at Hugh Wallis' middle name site and found two interesting ones:

6 May 1810 Mary Richardson T THOMPSON 6 MAY 1810 Heslington - Henry THOMPSON & Mary RICHARDSON


3 Mar 1836 Matthew Richardson Askham PINDER Saint Peter, Leeds - mother Hannah PINDER


Only the marriage listed for John Richardson ASKHAM. Curious.

Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

Thank you.

That's their 2nd child. A bit confusing with Mary Elizabeth called Elizabeth and Eliza Ann called Eliza.


So no sign of a birth/baptism or a death anywhere in England for John ASKHAM with middle name Richardson.

Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

I suppose there is one option. Get a copy of Mary's death certificate:


Died 19 May 1861

Deaths Jun 1861
Askham Mary Huddersfield 9a 259

There is a burial on 22nd May 1861 at Lockwood for Mary ASKHAM, born 1799.


Regards,

Dave

Hello cp,

Looking at the births for a John ASKHAM & Mary there are several with father = John Watey ASKHAM and others way too early and way too late and none near Rothwell, Wakefield, Lockwood, Huddersfield...

I now wonder if John R & Mary had any children.

I can't find a burial for a John R.

Regards,

Dave
