Hi Can anyone help. I have been constructing my family tree for several years now and I have one very frustrating gap!!!! This is the scanario. I am looking for the parents of Sarah Thorpe born 1805 in York. I am 99% confident she was a catholic and maybe related to the Ullathornes, Drapers of York and Howden. She married William Greenwood in 1827 and they set up a cabinet making business in York. She was an upholsteress in her own right.

Have you tried Hugh Wallis's site?

It will take a little time to trawl through all the churches in York, but worth the effort if you haven't already done so.

I presume this is the family in 1841:

St Michael's Spurringate, York

HO107/1355/6 fol 6 p5

William (cabinet maker), Sarah and Anne 11, Teresa 8
