Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 1,412 Send Message	There is an Elizabeth Horsley at Halifax aged 16 born 1845. Could I have a look up please. I am hoping she was born in Crakehall/ Bedale, Yorkshire. Parents John and Hannah. Thank you.

	The 1861 shows an Elizabeth with mother Martha - so probably the wrong one - do you want it posting anyway?

	I know! I've tried looking for Benjamin b.ca 1849 I think Horsley must be mis-transcribed, can't find anything

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 1,412 Send Message	I can't find any of them after 1851. Cant find any deaths and Benjamin seems to have disappeared. Could you tell me where Hannah Humphrey and John Kirk where born and then I might try to find them on the 1861 census to see if they are still with the family. Highly unlikely I know but you have to try anything don't you.

	If it's any help, Elizabeths birth place should read Crakenhall, with was Northallerton reg district to 1839 when it transferred to Bedale.

	Looks like Hannah born Stockton, but the other one looks like Thornlikle Beason - Sylvia may do better with the transcript? the original is really difficult to read.

	gotta go out think that either name has been mis-transcibed, they changed their surname for some reason, OR they emigrated sylvia

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 1,412 Send Message	Thank you both very much, I do appreciate your help, my eyes are drooping so I'm going to bed so signing off. I sometimes wish I'd never started this. Night night.

	Marian, it may help to know your connection - ie how did you get to this family - have you got one of their descendants in your tree & tracked back? Or is one of them a sibling of someone else in your tree? The parents were married 1844 (Bedale) and Elizabeth looks to be their oldest child, reg Bedale 1845. There doesn't appear to be any more children after Benjamin reg at Bedale, they just seem to disappear. Think I'd try looking at emigration as Sylvia suggests, if they changed their name we don't have much chance of finding them. Goodnight!
