Hi, Can anyone look up a William Prust born 1870/1880 in the Pontefract West Yorkshire area. He is listed on his Daughter's Marriage Certificate as a Locomotive Driver. Also a look up for a Charles Moxon again in the Pontefract area I believe. He is listed as deceased in his Son's Marriage Certificate in 1928. I have the Children of these men's Marriage Certificate and they list address as 8 Carlton Street and 84 North Avenue just incase they lived there previously. Thanks for any help Kate

Hi, It doesnt say anything just 'Deceased' Thanks

Can you find a Charles Moxon in Leeds?

There is a Charles Moxon in Bradford. That's the nearest I can see to Leeds. Do you know how old he would be? Kath. x

Hi, Charles (Who married Edith Prust) gives 23 on the Marriage Certificate. Charles and Edith only had 2 children 1 was Edith Moxon and the other Margaret Moxon died at 1 month. Thanks Kate

The Witnesses are Eric and Emily Glassell. Emily was Edith's Sister, she married Eric Glassell. I'm stuck as I have no idea where he came from my Mum think it was the Leeds area but could be wrong (most probably is going by past experiences!) Kate

Thanks for all your help. I have just searched Births and there are only 2. 1 in Barnsley and 1 in Hemsworth. I am just going to look for Charles Moxons death. Thanks again Kate

HI, Just been given some information. My Grandfather Charles Moxon was born on 03/12/1904 in Wombwell (District Darfield) The entry for Birth registered 1905 Barnsley must be the one. His Father Charles married a lady called Thirza (Theresa) could anyone now search the 1901/91/81 census for Charles with a Thirza. Thanks Kate

Hi Judith, Thanks for that. I have saved it incase I tie them in. This Moxon side is driving me crazy!!

Think that's what I'm going to have to do. Already been and got 2 Certificates today no-one I never have any spare money!! Thanks for all your help Judith it's appreciated x

Hi, It's me again, just had a phone call from an Aunty who says Charles's Mum was Maud (isnt Maud a name for Emma?) Apparently she was the illegitimate daughter of Lucy Hannah Clarkson but thats all she knows. Kate
