  • Horsfall from Yorkshire

    I'm looking for the birth of an elusive ancestor - Thomas Wright Horsfall.
    I found him on the 1891 census with his wife Mary Prescilla Horsfall living in Windhill Yorkshire.
    Thomas age given as 31 years estimated year of birth 1860 born in Scarborough.
    I found his marriage to Mary Priscilla Robinson Q1 1884 in Bradford and I have sent off for this marriage record. I've been unable to identify Thomas on any other Consus return.
    Thomas died 1896
    At this moment I do not know Thomas Wright Horsfall's parents names.
    I would like to find his birth record. Can anybody help ?
    Thank you
    Tom

    Don't know where Bedale is, but it seems the most likely.

    Thomas Horsfall
    Year of Registration: 1860
    Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
    District: Bedale
    County: Yorkshire - North Riding
    Volume: 9d
    Page: 444

    Wright seems to not figure in the birth record.

      The public "Mary Robinson Extended Family Tree" at Ancestry lists his parents as James Horsfall and Elizabeth M Stansfield.

          Bluedoo, is that Windhill near Idle/Calverley in the West Riding? If so this is a brilliant site

          A repository of genealogical and historical data concerning the villages of Calverley Parish in Yorkshire


          Loads of parish records etc

              Found these baptisms on the Calverley website (most people from Windhill appear in the Idle parish records):
              1869 07 25 Hannah Maria HORSFALL father John, occ Joiner mother Ann Windhill
              1869 07 25 Sarah Jane HORSFALL father John occ Joiner mother Ann Windhill

              Could they be relations?

              Also, many people in that area were nonconformists so it's a good idea to check that out too.

                Can you see my ancestry tree for this person. He was married to Mary Priscilla Robinson, my great grandfather's sister.

                  I have adjusted my tree on Thomas Horsfall with some notes. Take a look.

                    He was married to Mary Priscilla Robinson in 1884, one of my great grandfathers relatives. I am also trying to determine his lines.
