Hi everyone, Im new to this site so i apoligize for any mistakes. Ive been researching my family and have managed to get as far back as the 1841 cencus. i need your help going further back . The last family memeber is william hairyes born 1834 in balk,north yorkshire. his father was also William Hairyes born approx 1817 and he was working in Elloughton,East Yorksire in 1841 he had a wife Elizabeth Hairyes born c 1818.and a son Joseph and my decesdent William. thanks

Can you post the census info you have, I can't find them in 1841 or 51 (maybe due to strange spellings of surname), and the only William born in Balk is married to an Ann!

Its spelt William Wairs on the 1841 cencus.it lists the whole family on therei n elloghton.and his age at 28 years old.sorry i forgot to tell you about the spelling.

William hairs.sorry i spelt it wrong

ive just dug out the 1861 cencus- william hairyes(correct spelling) aged 30 is on living in harrogate and it says where born balk.

Is that this one?

HAIRYES, Anna Wife Married F 25 1836 ...Yorkshire

1841
Elloughton East Field, Elloughton, Brough, Yorkshire
FARRAR, Joseph M 48 Ag Lab 1793 Yorkshire
FARRAR, Elizabeth F 49 1792 Yorkshire

HAIRS, William M 24 Ag Lab 1817 Yorkshire
HAIRS, Elizabeth F 28 1813 Yorkshire
HAIRS, William M 5 1836 Yorkshire
HAIRS, Joseph M 4 1837 Yorkshire

Getting back any further than the 1841 Census or Registration which began in 1837 is through parish records.

The mormons have done a grand job of recording parish records on their family search site here : http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/ ... search.asp

Bear in mind though that not all church records are recorded here and some records have been added by members of the public, so really, you will need to prove findings by looking at parish records yourself.

Even if the records you need aren't available here - if you know the church were your ancestors may have been married or baptised, you can look through films yourself at your local LDS Church Centre.

Thats brilliant supersue,thanks. i dont suppose you can find where william hairyes was born or further back?

Sue found this information here : http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/ ... search.asp

It's very easy to search - you need to go down the options on the left side of the screen to International Genealogical Index, but as I said before, the IGI is by no means complete.
