Looking for information on Richard and Elizabeth (nee Beswick) Bulmer who both died in Lythe parish, Yorkshire, early 1800's. Elizabeth died in 1816 leaving 4 young children. Richard died in 1819. Did Richard remarry after Elizabeth's death? Who looked after the children and where? Any ideas as to where I may be able to find answers to these puzzles?

Fred, I'm afraid you may never know! There tends to be an unfilled gap between a birth or marriage and the first census of any use in 1841. If the family was in dire straits it is worth checking the Workhouse records (if available) to see if they were living there for a while.
By the way, my OH's family came from Whitby. You could try the local archive - we saw the original church records for my husband's family.Elizabeth

There is no burial given in the NBI for any other Elizabeth apart from the 77 year old in 1816.
N.B. The NBI give this Elizabeth the surname BALMER.Elizabeth

Thanks Mary and Elizabeth. Now wondering if the info we had received from others was correct at all. Would there be a possibility that Elizabeth could have died in another parish as the youngest child, Thomas was born in 1816 in Wykeham? Another thought - Elizabeth was also known as Betty. Could her death be registered under that name?
