There are some ''Newbies'' threads which might be worth looking at - if you haven't already. Put ''Newbie'' in the thread-shearch box and see what comes up! Christine

Thanks very much for your help Christine, I am new to all this so haven't quite found my way round everything. Yes I did get the marraige off familysearch but it gave no other details and cos Im just learning I appreciate any help in getting the info or pointing me in right direction.

Suzanne you could look these up for yourself on www.familysearch.org on the International Genealogical Index and you can short-circuit the procedure and limit yourself to Almondbury by going to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb. com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle (take out the Return stroke) Christine

Using the Christening batch number with James as a father, there's quite a handful of probable siblings: Betty 20 APR 1770 Mary 30 SEP 1770 (a bit of a short gap - maybe Betty was baptised late) Nancy 07 AUG 1776 James 13 APR 1777 John 26 DEC 1779 John 23 JAN 1780 (something odd here!) Amos 27 MAR 1780 (curiouser and curiouser) Joel 04 DEC 1781 David 14 APR 1782 (perhaps there were two James FARRANDs) Betty 18 APR 1784 Joseph 16 MAY 1785 You'd probably need (even more than usual) sight of the actual records (or image thereof) to see if their addresses are given.

There is this possibility: batch C017124 Thomas FARRAND Christening: 13 MAY 1788 Almondbury, Yorkshire, England Father = James FARRAND Christine

Have you tried to see if you can find them in early censuses? 1851 or 1861? That could give you an idea of where/when. I presume you've got the marriage from IGI (batch M017126)? Christine

I am looking for birth dates of Thomas Farrand and Esther Rothwell they were married and had a son Henry Farrand born 1815/16 and another son called Joseph in Aldmondbury, Yorkshire. Trying to get back on the Farrand side as far as i can. Thank you
