Hi,
i am struggling to find any information on my great great great great grandparents.
I seem to have struck out when it comes to finding any information on them.
I have searched parish records and cant find anything that is of use to me as i don't know their names and unsure on the area they lived.

Here is what i have so far!
I have traced back to William Reynolds born 1815 in hull (according to the 1841 census)
He was married to Elizabeth Hobson born 1807 in Ripon.
They lived in Wheldrake and had 4 children:
William
Joseph
Elizabeth
Amelia

I have searched parish records for William Reynolds's baptism but have come up with nothing. I was hoping this would provide me with either his father or mothers name, then i could go on to trace siblings.
There are tree matches for his son's William and Joseph, i have messaged the tree owners but have had no reply.
I cant think of where else to look.
Does anyone have any Reynolds living in Wheldrake in the 1840's in their tree or have information on William and Elizabeth??
Even as a long shot a Reynolds listed as being born in Hull during the early 1800's as this could be a sibling of Williams and i maybe able to find a baptism record for them.
I would be happy to share my tree.

Thanks

Thanks

Thank you everyone!!
I am just out on the school run at the moment (Yorkshire girl living in Canada)
I will review these when I get home to my laptop as the small phone screen makes it even more mind boggling lol.
Also can anyone do a search on Joseph Reynolds born 1842 I believe. He is on the 1851 census then disappears. It might just be me staring at a computer screen so long my eyes are playing tricks on me and my mind isn't engaging.
Thanks a bunch you are all awesome ??

Im Home,
Yes sorry i meant the 1851 census.
I found the marriage of Elizabeth and William in 1838 giving Elizabeths maiden name as Hobson.
I am unsure if francis is any relation. I did find a marriage for 1820 of Ann Reynolds in Wheldrake. I am thinking they may be some relation and this is why william moved from Hull to wheldrake??
Wheldrake is a small villiage with around 2000 residents now so i presume it was dratically smaller in the 1800's.
I will check out the Rennolds spelling as Reynolds is bringing up no results at all in the parish records. I will update very soon

this comes up under Renolds, it has been a spelling error, I know this is correct as Williams daughter Amelia married James Kidd
I will now start searching different spellings of Reynolds

Thank you,
The joseph i am looking for has 2 sisters called elizabeth and amelia.
He seems to have vanished somewhere

WOW!!
This is mind boggling.
So i have found a document that is dated 1841.
it is rather confusing to explain but i will try my best.

Event Place Wheldrake, Yorkshire,Yorkshire East Riding, England
Residence Note Rectory House
Gender Male
Age 25-29
Age (Original) 25

Name Gender Age Birthplace
William Renolds M 25-29 Yorkshire
Elizabeth Renolds F 35-39 Yorkshire
Frances Renolds F 4 Yorkshire
William Renolds M 3 Yorkshire
Joseph Renolds M 3 months Yorkshire
Thomas Smith M 10 Yorkshire
Diana Smith F 9 Yorkshire

So the age for William is about right and i have seen about 4/5 different documents with his birthdate listed differently, but they are him.
The age range for Elizabeth is bang on.
Frances has been mentioned by you all but she does not show up in the 1951 census and i cannot find a death certificate for her. Williams age is wrong as he was born around 1940. Josephs age could possibly be right as i have him down as born in 1841-1842.
Thomas's age is right as he was born around 1830
Diana is a new one to me also. she doesnt appear on the 1851 census with the family and again i cannot find a death certificate I checked her out and elizabeth is her mother and thomas smith her father. Thomas smith is also Thomas's father.
It just seems like to much of a coincidence. Same location, mother and fathers age is right, one of the children ages is right and now 2 new children.
What do you think??

Asti .....

see my post of 27 Jan 2016 20:56

a Frances Reynolds born in Wheldrake is a servant in York ............. and then I found marriage for a Frances Reynolds, father William taking place in York, posted 27 Jan 2016 21:01


If true, then that answers your question about her.


Was that 1841 record the 1841 Census??

This is the Ancestry version of that 1841 ............ Note the spelling!!

Interestingly, Thomas and Diana are shown as living in alone in the house next door (indicated by a double line separating Joseph from Thomas) so Ancestry has listed them separately

Malyon ................

the Joseph and Frances you posted were born in Saddleworth, which is close to the Lancashire border (near Oldham).

The Joseph and Frances that Asti is looking for were born in Wheldrake near York ...... which is quite a distance from Saddleworth!

In addition, the 1891 Census shows their mother to be called Mary ............ and we're looking for a mother called Elizabeth!
