88, Indianapolis, passed away Sunday, September 23, 2012. Richard was born on June 11, 1924 in Hull Yorkshire, England to the late Richard and Elizabeth Yare.

He served three years in the British Army as a medic and as a Sergeant. Richard attended Marist College and Boulevard Technical College while in England before moving to the U.S. to attend Purdue University. His studies included manufacturing and engineering. Richard married his love Hilda Harraway on October 18, 1947.

Richard worked in tool making, foundry making, and production and machinery from 1940—1967 before immigrating to the U.S. in 1967. From 1967-1975 Richard worked for R.C.A. of America. He helped pilot a program setting up and tooling a production line for video tape recorders. In 1977 Richard became a U.S. citizen.

In 1976 he then joined Reeder & Kline Machinery, Carmel, as a processor engineer responsible for manufacturing. He retired in 1995. Richard enjoyed golfing, traveling, and Team Purdue. He will always be remembered as The Proper English Gentleman by those that knew him.

David John Davis

David John DAVIS married Rosemary DOWLING at Gloucester City in 1962 Q2.

Janet McMillan

Janet McMILLAN, my great grandmother, was born at Over Staveley, Westmoreland on 22nd October 1855. She married my great grandfather, William HAWKRIGG, on 10th June 1882.
No father is named on her birth certificate, but John McMILLAN is named on her marriage certificate.

There is no obvious trace of Janet in the censuses of 1861, 1872 and 1881.

I am intrigued though by a Jannot MILLAN (6) at Staveley Gate, Over Staverley in 1861. She is with the widow, Anna Bella MILLAN (39) and her sister, Anna Bella MILLAN (8) on RG09 piece 3964 folio 22 page 19.

In 1881 there is a McMILLAN family at 84 Burlington Street, Liverpool, Lancashire comprising John (60), Mary (60), Janet (24) and Mary (21). Again intriguing.

In 1871 the same family is at Leeds Street Court, Liverpool, Lancashire: John (47), Mary (48), Hellen (16), Janet (14) and Mary (11).

In 1861 one could consider a family at Gallowgate Street, St. Johns, Lanarkshire: John (35), Mary (32), John (8), Janet (6), Peter (2) and Mary (2 months).

A lot more needs to be done before we accept an ancestry for Janet McMillan.

My Family Tree

I will be making some changes to my family tree, the master copy of which is heldon Genes Reunited.

In the 'notes' field I will be inserting a relationship line to show how each person is related to me.

I would like to change the surname field of my blood-relatives to CAPITAL letters, but Genes Reunited won't let me..

A - A = aunt; a = adopted
B - B = brother
C - C = cousin
D - D = daughter
E
F - F = father
G - G = grand; g - great
H - H = husband; h = half
I - il = in-law
J
K
L
M - M = mother
N - N = neice or nephew
O
P
Q
R - r = removed
S - Sis = sister, Son = son; s = step
T
U - U = uncle
V
W - W = wife
X
Y
Z

Joseph Smith

Joseph SMITH was an unlikely name to follow successfully.

Ann YARE (c1778)

I have returned to the first child of Joseph YARE and Mary BAINBRIGG, my 4 x great grandparents.

Pamela YARE (1941-)

I just discovered Pamela WATSON's website, Yare Family. While I do not yet know the blood relationship between Pamela and myself, I will see what more I can discover.

James YARE (1875-?)

Unfortunately there were two people by the name of James YARE born in 1875.

Dennis R YARE (1932-1993)

My 6th cousin, Dennis Reed YARE, again via Joseph YARE (c1755), married Dorothy KITCHING at Durham Western in 1958. No children are registered in England and Walesfrom this marriage.

William YARE (1871-?)

Today I am working on William YARE, born in 1871. He is my 4th cousin, twice removed, our common ancestor being Joseph YARE (c1755-1829).

William appears in the 1881 and 1891 censuses, but not in 1901 or 1911. There is no obvious death for him, and without another census entry it is difficult to propose a marriage.

But there is a W. YARE listed as a Blacksmith on the Imperial Military Railway in South Africa during the Boer War. Is this him, and how do I discover more?

Bono Vacantia

While the Scottish equivalent can be downloaded as an ExCel file, the English Bono Vacantia is a little more awkward. I like to work on one week's legacies at a time, so I select only details published on a single Thursday. typically there will be about 15 to 30. These are presented as pages of 15 'deceaseds'.
