I go to the Lancashire Records Office quite often normally Wednesdays.If anybody wants a Look-Up please tell me exactly what you want and I will see what I can do.

Hi,
Thanks for your kind offer. If it's not too much trouble would it be possible for you look up some workhouse records for me. At the time of the 1891 census my direct ancestor Jane Latham/Lathom was living in the Blackburn Union Workhouse. She was born in 1818 in Chatburn, just outside Clitheroe, and died in Blackburn, presumably in the workhouse, in the September quarter of 1891.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks,
Jane.
-
more than likely go this Wednesday, have you got her on the other census.I am interested in your Swindell name from which area do they come?
-
Hi D Livesey,
Not sure if you can look this up in Lancs Records Office or if its only at Manchester.
Anyway, I would really like to find the baptism record of Thomas Paine FILDES born in 1817/1818 in Manchester. The Paine bit as a middle name was only used on his marriage certificate, not on any birth certificates of his children.
I have reason to believe he was christened at Manchester Cathedral - most of the family, before and after, were christened/married there.
I know his father was called William but that's about it.
If you can get to look for it, I would be eternally grateful, if not then thanks anyway. 8)

Hi

30 November 1829
JOSEPH TRAVIS cotton spinner & ALICE DAWSON
many thanks

Hi,
I wasn't quite sure what you meant by the other census, but here are Jane Latham's details in the 1891 and 1881 censuses:
From the 1891 census - Blackburn Union Workhouse, Blackburn South, Lancashire
Lathom, Jane: pauper; widow; age 73; occupation - charwoman (retired); born - Clitheroe, Lancashire
From the 1881 Census - 25 Accrington Rd, Blackburn, Lancashire, England
Latham, Richard: lodger (head); married; age 65; birthplace - Settle, Yorkshire, England; occupation - carter out of employment
Latham, Jane: wife; married; age 62; birthplace - Chatburn, Lancashire; occupation - housekeeper
Richard Latham died in 1885, so I suspect Jane would have entered the workhouse some time after this.
My Swindells came originally from Parwich in Derbyshire, and then moved to Derby sometime in the 1870's. Do you have Swindells in your family too?
Thanks again,
Jane. :)
-
Sorry Jane I meant to say the earlier census 1841-1871,I will go tomorrow providing weather is Ok ,we have had a little bit of snow today.
Our best friends are Swindell,it was a large family from all over Derbyshire I think Buxton Matlock and other places, his parents lived in Stockport.

Hi
This is a wonderful offer for someone who lives in Somerset!
Please could you look in the 1851 census for Ribbleton, Preston. I am trying to find Thomas and Grace Parker with a son James who was born in 1847 in Ribbleton - no further address given. Thomas was a weaver. Is there an 1851 name index that you could check?
Many thanks.

Hello Dinkey
I haven't really got a lot of info the records were very brief .Joseph Travis and Alice Dawson were from Spotland,Rochdale.Alice was a spinster and the marriage was by banns.J.R. Baines or Raines was curate and both their witnesses must have been somebody from the church because the two names appeared on quite a few of the marriages.Sorry there was no more info and I think your other requst didn't get posted to me but I can look it up again if your not in a hurry
d.livesey

Really appreciate the lookup. Shame it didn't come up with more info. for me.
No panic about the other query.

Hello Jane,
Just to let you know I went to the Records today.I was told that Blackurn Union Workhouse had no details of entries or deaths at the workhouse.I requested minute books from1884 -1891 but soon realized that individual names were very rarely mention. I then asked where she would have been buried and they said if it was a paupers burial it probably would be Blackburn Cemetery although that wouldnot mean she didn't have a church service,since I wasn't aware of the religion I thought it would be pointless wading through things.However I got the Blackburn Cem Register of Burials and there was 1 for 1891 in the name of Jane Alice Latham.I obtained as much detail as I could from there any. Further info you might get from the Cemetry Dept at Blackburn.I have taken some references down if you need them I will send them to you privately.Sorry I couldn't find more out for you.
-
Hi,
Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into looking for Jane Latham. I really appreciate it. ;D I am interested in the other information you have. Could you please email it to me at:

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for the message on this - will have to try something else!

Hi,
Many thanks for the offer. Would you be able to lookup the following people:
Richard HARDMAN:
The following is from the Lancashire County Council:
“According to the Calendar of crown prisoners for the Lancashire Quarter Sessions (QJC 1), Richard Hardman (aged 22), along with two other men, was committed for trial on 15 November 1815 by Rev. Thomas Drake and Rev. William Horton and charged with having assulted and robbed James Scholfield of a pocket book and seven Bank of England notes, "for one pound each", on the King's Highway at Birtle-cum-Bamford. Hardman was convicted on 23rd March 1816 and having been found guilty on another indictment (unspecified), was transported for 14 years.
More details could be found in the Quarter Sessions order book (QSO 2/185) and the indictment roll (QJ1 1/190).
-----------------
The Lancaster Gazette
Saturday November 18th 1815
Committed to our Castle, since our last………William Duncan, James Shaw, and Richard Hardman, charged with having assaulted and robbed James Scholfield, on the King’s highway, in the township of Birtle cum Bamford, near Rochdale.

Ann SPENCER:
The following is from the Lancashire County Council:
The Lancashire Quarter Session Order Book (QSO 2/186) records the verdict of the trial of Ann Spencer at Salford on 23rd April 1817 as follows:
“Whereas Ann Spencer late of Mancherster in the said County Singlewoman hath at this Session been convicted of Felony. This Court therefore order and adjudge that she (sic) shall be sent and transported to some part beyond the Seas for the Term of Seven years pursuant to the Statute in such case provided.”

Hello Rick
I will see what I can do.It is a pityI did get your post until today I was at the Lancashire Records Office yesterday and it will probably be about 3 weeks now bfore I go again[I look after the grandchildren when school finishes for Easter this Friday for 2 weeks but I will get there]

Hi Dorothy,
No problems. I'm in no hurry and I would image that you have several requests to fulfill. I'm grateful for the kind offer. Except what I have given you I know nothing about Richard's and Ann's life in England nor any relatives. My father is getting on in years and would dearly love know something more.
A piece of extra information is the following:
Richard Hardman
Along with William Duncan and James Shaw, Richard Hardman was convicted of assaulting and robbing James Scholfield at Birtle-cum-Bamford, near Rochdale
Date Tried: 15th November 1815, Manchester Quarter Sessions
Sentence: Death by hanging, later commuted to 7 years transportation.
In case you are wondering what became of him. He married Ann Spencer in Launceston, Tasmania and they had several children and he died at an early age due to drinking as seen by this.
From the "Launceston Advertiser", Thursday, 11th October 1830, page 3:
"On Wednesday, Mr Richard Hardman, of this town, breathed his last; he had been unwell from the Saturday before, he got worse this day, and expired suddenly about noon. He has left a widow and a family of small children to lament his loss, if it is a loss to lose a man who gave up all his faculties to drink, who robs himself of his health, his domestic comforts, and most of the pleasures of life in order to sacrifice his time to the pernicious practice of beastly intoxication.
Fellow citizens look around and ponder how few of the inhabitants of this town, die a death in which habit of intoxication have not had a prominent part, a how great a proportion of these deaths are owing, strictly owing to the poisonous and beastly practice of intoxication."
His wife and family became success farmers/business people and were well thought of. Richard's granddaughter became the wife of the Mayor of the City in later times.
Please visit his webpage at the following for more information:

Many thanks once again.

Hi dotty - I know you may not get to the records office for a while, but thought I'd post a query while it was fresh in my mind.
I'm looking to find more about any of the following deaths:
James ENDSOR died between Jul and Sep 1837 in Chorlton on Medlock.
Jane ENDSOR died between Apr and Jun 1865 in Manchester.
William ENDSOR, 64, died between Jan and Mar 1885 in West Derby.

Hi,
I am looking for parish register entries of the RC St. Mary's Chapel (The Hidden Gem) on Mulberry St. I understand the LRO has them.
Abraham Wood and Mary Anne Blakeley were married there on 26 Nov. 1852. I have their marriage cert but no idea how many and where the children were baptized. John Blakeley Wood born 3 Feb. 1854 is theirs for sure and Caroline Florence Wood born June quarter 1860 and Frederick Wood born Sept. quarter of 1859 are hopefuls.
Would it be possible to check for Wood baptisms (Parents Abraham Wood/Mary Anne formerly Blakeley) beginning after the marriage of 1852.
Thank you.

Hello Dotty,
I would be very grateful for a lookup for the birth, January14th 1834 for William Thompson, son of Richard and Ellen of Blackburn. Richard was a warden of St. Peter's church so I guess William was baptised there. I am trying to find the mother's maiden name.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
Elaine

I have been unable to track down my grandmothers birth certificate to find her mothers maiden name etc and have sent for 2 both of which were wrong so I was only charged £3.
Could you possibly check sometime if the one I now thin is right has the right parents please.
It is for Ann(ie) O'Brien born June 1891 West Derby Volume 8b 353.
her parents were Joseph O'Brien and Ann O' Brien. I am hoping her maiden name was Ruth
I also have July 1887 8b 447 West Derby.
I think they were living at New Street Bootle.Her father worked in the gas works.
No one knows exactly how old she was when she died and the relevant 1891 census which would give a bit of a clue re her age has been destroyed/lost.
Is this enough information?
Many thanks
Lesley

Please - I wonder if you would look something up for me ??? If possible - I would be most grateful !! When you get a chance - mo rush
I am looking for a baptism in 1819 of Samuel Haslam in Bolton
on the IGI (familysearchwebsite) there are a few entries - with conflicting dates !!
It gives - Bolton le Moor / Tong / St Peters .....
I believe in should be St Peter's - the parish church.
dates given are - 19th March and 21 March 1819
parents Thomas Haslam & Ann
Another entry is on 26 September - parents Jno & Jane.....
I think I have ruled this out - because of the siblings names....
would appreciate the 'real' entry - if you can manage it sometime !!!
I think his parents were Thomas Haslam & Ann Woo(l)fenden ....andhe was the eldest child - but still searching !!
-
Hi dotty -
Regarding my request (above) for info on the ENDSORs - please disregard it - I just got my certificates and now have the facts.
But if ever you stumble over the name ENDSOR in your digging, please let me know - there weren't many of them in Lancashire and I seem to be connected to the few that were.
Thanks! IGS

Hello Dotty:
It is very kind of you to offer looks up at the Lancashire records office. I live in Canada. I was wondering if you could look up at marriage record for me in Barrow in Furness? I have just come home from a week in Salt Lake city at the family history library. They only had one film there for Barrow in Furness and it did not have the year I wanted on it.
I am looking for the second marriage of my 3xgrgrandmother Hannah Jukes. I am trying to find her maiden name so I can find her first marriage.
Here is the information I have from Free BDM site.
Marriage 1877 Barrow in Furness
Hannah Jukes and Thomas Mandell
Thank you very much for any help.

Hello Dotty
Thank you for your kind offer to do lookups for fellow RCs.
Could you please check on the following entry from FreeBMD when time permits?
Mary White born Sept 1/4 Liverpool 1837 Vol 20 Page 182.
If possible, I would like to know if her parents were Edward White and Catherine Hartnet (marriage unknown). On her 1857 marriage certificate her age was 21, but a year later on her daughter's birth certificate which I have just received, it was 19 so the above entry appears to be the best bet. I have checked the IGI 1832 - 1842 for her birth and parents marriage without success so if you can verify the above entry it will be a great help.
Many thanks
Juddee :) :)

Hello Dotty.

Hello Dotty:

Hi Dotty,
I've been looking for a marriage in Lancashire between two relatives but I am finding it difficult to match up the groom and bride. I'm looking for the marriage of Robert Marr and Mary Robinson.
A Robert Marr did marry in 1880:
DISTRICT Liverpool (1837-1924), COUNTY Lancashire, QUARTER June, Volume 8b, Page 223
As did a Mary Elizabeth Robinson
DISTRICT Liverpool (1837-1924), COUNTY Lancashire, QUARTER June, Volume 8b, Page 221.
I am not sure if this is the same marriage though. If you have the chance to look I would be very grateful. I'm not sure if the birth registers give the parents marriage details but if they do this would be found on their son Edward (my G Grandfather):
DISTRICT West Derby, COUNTY Lancashire, QUARTER December, Volume 8b, Page 393
Thanks
Robert

I go to the Lancashire Records Office quite often normally Wednesdays.If anybody wants a Look-Up please tell me exactly what you want and I will see what I can do.
I am fairly new at researching my family tree, thank you for this wonderful offer. I was wondering if you could look up a birth for Alice Ellen Howarth b. Mar. 7, 1896 in Chadderton, Oldham. I am trying to find out her mother's maiden name, father's name is James Howarth and mother's name is Sarah J.
Is there anyway you could check this out for me?
Thank you
Ellen :)

Hi Dotty,

Samuel Thomas death @Fleetwood prob around 1880s

I know they were in Fleetwood. Son Ben married in 1884 there.
Son Benjamin was born in Hull 1859 then they disapear, I have no way of furthering my search unless I can find where Sam originated from.
Hope this is O.K. and makes sense,
Thanks

Hello Dotty'
If you are still going to the Lancashire Records office could you do a lookup for me please.
It's for the death of George Thomas Stringer in Liverpool in 1903.
He would have been about 63/64. I haven't been to a Records Office so I don't know what details it gives.
I am hoping for the cause of death and what his address was, also the name of the person who registered the death.
Hope you can help
from Maureen.
-
Maureen,
The only way you will get all the info would be applying for the death cert itself.If you knew the church sometimes cause of death is entered but not addresses etc.There is a George Thomas Stringer died Sept 1903 West Derby district 8b 301 he was 61 could this be him.The records at Preston are church records wills directories census and lots more but unfortunatley not details from actual certs .Let me know if you want more help.
Dotty

Hi Dotty

Thanks for your reply.
I'm pretty sure it's the George Stringer I'm looking for so I will have to send for the death certificate,
from Maureen.

Would you be able to look up, please, the marriage of James Farncis Maynard and Elizabeth Veronica Clegg? It would have taken place between 1926 and 1930. Thanks.

Hi there,
is there any chance you could find a date of marriage for me please when you next go up to the Lancs Record Office? I am looking for a marriage date for John Pennington (born Ellel, around 1785. He married someone called Jane (surname unknown) and she was from Pilling. I am guessing that the marriage took place between 1806-1816 (their first child was born 1816-Dinah Pennington in Heysham.
If you could find anything out for me I would be really grateful since I have been stuck on this for months and months and months!
Thanks

Hi Robert
I think I may have sorted a bit of your query ,on the reference for Robert Marrs marriage there is also a Mary McCarten-a Mary Robinson married a McCarten in the June qtr 1876 ref Liverpool 8b 179--I think this is her.
You cannot look up the marriages from these references at the Lancashire Records Office you have to get the certificates .if you have details of the churches you can then look them up.
Hope this has helped a bit
Dorothy

Hi, What a wonderful person you are! Especially when I live down in Oxfordshire and our families seem to come from every part of Britain.
I wonder if you could be so kind and have the time to lookup a baptism of a Lavinia McDonald born c1861 in Manchester. Her fathers name was Peter McDonald from Ireland. I have searched for a birth registration for Lavinia, to no avail. The above information was from the 1871 census (they were then living in Bradford, Yorks) and apart from that I can find nothing else on Lavinia. I am fairly certain that the mothers name would have been Margaret.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you, Kath

Thanks very much for looking for this and apologies for not updating sooner. I managed to get the marriage certificate of Robert Marr and Mary McCarten. As you suspected she was formerly married as her father's name was Edward Robinson. I'll now purchase the marriage certificate of Thomas McCarten and Mary Robinson to see if this uncovers any more clues.
Thanks again for your help. When you talk of the churches would this give me any additional information to what is on the marriage certificate?
Robert
-
Dorothy,
If you have time would you be able to check something for me please? I'm trying to find out who Mary Robinson's parent's were. I know her father was Edward Robinson but not who her mother was. As there were a large number of Mary Robinson's born in the Liverpool area between 1858 to 1860 I cannot purchase all of the certificates to check as it would be too costly.
I've trawled the 1861 and 1871 censuses to find her but cannot confirm her on them. I found one family in 1861 that appears to fit the bill, the mother was Catharine Robinson, but they do not appear in the 1871 census.
My best bet would be from the death records as there are less Mary Marr. Mary Marr (formerly Robinson and McCarten) appears in the 1891 census in Kirkdale, Lancashire with husband Robert. On 6th April 1897 Robert Marr died in Lanark, Scotland and the certificate states he was a widower of Mary Robinson. So I know she died between 1891 and 1896. As the Scotland's People site allows you to check on other names I have been able to confirm that she did not die in Scotland. Most likely she died in Lancashire during this 6 year period.
After searching the death indexes I can see only 1 possible candidate. The age though looks wrong:
Mary Ellen Marr, 32 years old, died in Q3 of 1894 in West Derby, Lancashire.
According to the 1891 census she was 31 and her age at marriage in 1880 confirms that is correct. It would appear not to be her but it's the only match I can see. The two kids they had are found living with their grandmother in the 1891 census.
I'm not sure if entry is something you can check and if you can whether it would give you any further information but thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks
Robert

:)Hi Dotty,
I've sent you a couple of personal emails but to be honest I'm not sure if they have reached you. If they have, my apologies for repeating this request here.
You were very kind enough to give me the marriage details for John and Jane Pennington. I wonder if you could help me out again? I am trying to find out the date of death for Jane Pennington so that I can send off for her will. I know she was alive in the 1871 census but in the 1881 census there is no trace of her. The 1871 census shows her age as 76 and she is classed as an annuitant. With this in mind I can conclude that she died between 1871 and 1881. I would be really grateful if you could have a look at the will index to see if there is a trace of her will.
Finally, is there any chance that you could have a look at the Ellel parish records for me please. What I am looking for are the baptist details for John Pennington (born around 1785); Lawrence Pennington (born around 1796) and James Pennington (born around 1796). Thank you. I am very grateful for your help.
Best wishes

Believe the area would be Tinwald,Dumfrieshire.
Many Thanks in advance

:)Hello Dotty,
What an extremely kind offer. If you are still visiting the Records Office I would appreciate a look up please.
I am looking for a birth and a marriage, in Wigan. I am not sure but it could be St Georges, Wigan as this is where some of the later generation were baptised.
Firstly, birth of THOMAS FAIRCLOUGH abt 1827. Mother's name Alice. I would like to know mother's maiden name if possible and father's name.
Information from 1841 census:
Alice FAIRCLOUGH age 40,
John age 20,
Thomas age 14
Jane age 14
Abrham age 7
Also: Marriage of Thomas FAIRCLOUGH to Mary around 1846 Wigan. I am interested in Mary's maiden name if possible.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort in doing these look-ups.
Best wishes
Jenny White

Hello Dotty,
How are you managing to cope with your own kind offer? I hope you are not regretting this.....
But, if you still have any energy left, I would love to know the details of this marriage.
Hopefully it will unlock a French/Scottish/Manchester mystery which I just cannot unravel. :-[
Here goes:
MARRIAGE
1878:
Liverpool: St. Peter (REF: 2122LP/69/94)
DAVIS John William
&
DEWAR Margaret
I am hoping that the details of the parents will lead me in the correct direction.
The couple themselves are not in my direct line, otherwise I would buy the certificate, but I am hoping to prove that the mother or father of J.W. Davis was the brother or sister of my great-grandfather or great-grandmother.

Hello Dotty
**Thank you so very much**! What a Fantastic offer. I really appreciate the time & effort this takes to help us.
If you can help me, could you please look-up for me
the birth of Sarah JONES Feb 15 1901 father Roland T JONES mother Mary Ann ALLPORT. The Address at the time of birth of Sarah was 3H 2nd D Ashfield St Liverpool, sub district of St. Martin's. Liverpool parish
I've had a terrible time trying to locate the marriage of Mary Ann Allport b 17 Aug 1852 in Masbro/Kimberworth Yorkshire to this Roland Thomas JONES. In the 1901 census, Mary Ann is listed as married, but husband is not there, nor is Sarah recorded. Rumour had it that Mary Ann changed her name (it had to have been between 1891-1901) but I haven't a clue what it could have been. A request of the Record Office turned up nothing on a marriage. This is definately one of my most confusing of ancestors. ???
I know nothing of Roland, as he left his wife & child, destitute in Liverpool. (so if married, there must be a divorce somewhere?). I would dearly love to find out anything at all about my Great-Grand-father R.T.Jones.
(yes...Mary Ann was older when Sarah was born, and were it not for info that my grand-mother(Sarah) had of her mother, I wouldn't believe it!
Thank you so very much! :) Ivorie

I go to the Lancashire Records Office quite often normally Wednesdays.If anybody wants a Look-Up please tell me exactly what you want and I will see what I can do.
Hi Dotty
If you are still offering look-ups, we would really love to crack this one!
I have an Ellen Sutton who died between 1819 and 1825. We know this because her last child was born 1819 and her husband got re-married 1825 and a Widower.
The only problem we have is that Crosby library has only limited resources for the area we are looking for. That is Melling, Halsall and Maghull. If we find her death entry we may just find where her children were Christened! We know this sounds back to front but, we were thinking that looking for 1 entry would be easier than 4! We know she got married in St Thomas C.E. Melling by License. William, her husband, lived in, Thornton, Sefton from about 1829, his second marriage was there, but when his first 2 children from the second marriage were Christened at Sefton Church they were still living at Maghull. We have seen all the entries when we went on an open day.
We have done all the Church Yards but as you know very little is left of the gravestones from that time. We had planned to try and get to Preston but, my work load dictates that it may be a further 6 months before we can! There is no rush at all and we are really grateful if you can do this for us.
Thanks alot for this Dotty. ;D

Hi Dotty,
If you could manage a look-up for me I'd appreciate it (I'm located in Southampton).
I'm after the marriage of George Arstall to Alice Nelson. A friend has found an entry for George Arstol in the Deane Parish Register on November 3rd 1814. Unfortunately, for 4 or 5 entries (including this one!) the spouses name has been omitted. I'm hoping the Bishops Transcripts for Parish Church of Deane might have the full entry. I believe the film number is DRM/2/67-76.
Many thanks,
Tony

Hello Dotty,
You are very kind to offer this help. I am keen to find the details of a will of Richard Thompson of Darwen, Blackburn. I know he died around 1801-4 but need the exact date to send off for will. I have already tried the Borthwick with no luck.
Many thanks,
Elaine

will do but not sure if I am going next week.

Hi Dotty,
Thanks for this wonderful offer ;D
I wonder if you can help me? I am trying to get information on my GGGgrandfather and his parents. All I have (from IGI) is that Sampson Lawton was Christened in Manchester Catherdal on June 16th 1799. His parents were William Lawton and Mary.
There are a number of other Lawton Christenings between 1791 & 1804, at Manchester Cathedral that have William & Mary as the parents but I do not think that they are all from the same family. But it is Sampson that I am really interested in.
Does the Lancashire Records Office hold any further information on these Christenings? Anything that will help me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Des Lawton (in Bonny Scotland)

Hello Dotty - greetings from sunny Australia! :)
Does your wonderful offer still stand? If so could you possibly look for the following.
My husbands gr grandparents married in St Wilfreds Church Preston and I am hoping that their children were baptised there too. If the LRO has these records the details are
John Billington married Ellen McDonnell 29 June 1850 [I have the marriage cert] their children were -
James Billington abt 1852
William Billington abt 1854
Paul Billington abt 1857
Elizabeth Billington abt 1858
Peter Billington abt 1860
John Billington about 1863
Just let me know if this is asking too much!
Thank you in anticipation.
Cheers
Janet :D
-
Lots of Billingtons but not yours I'm afraid.Have you any address in Preston?
Dotty
-
Hi Dotty :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to look. The family actually lived in Woodplumpton and were Catholics - I am at a loss to know where they may have been baptised!
I do have another request though if that is ok. This one is a bit more interesting than baptisms.
My gr grandmother's brother was sent to Dartmoor for attempted murder of two ladies in Bolton. His name was Ambrose Tattersall and he lived in Padiham he was sentenced at the Manchester Assizes on 3 February 1886 to life imprisonment but was released about 1901 and went to America.
Is it possible to see if the LRO has anything about this. I have newspaper articles from the Burnley Express and Advertiser and also from the Burnley Gazette but would like to find something a bit more official.
Just let me know if I am asking too much - it is just so difficult trying to do these things from down under!
Cheers
Janet ;) :D
-
It looks like he could have been in trouble before his name appears on the A2A Access to Archive site I will see what I can do but if he was tried at Manchester the Manchester Archives will probably have the records.
Dotty
-
Hi Dotty :)
Yes he was! his father was also in prison in Kent in 1871 but I don't have the exact dates for him. Ambroses wife Martha also appears on A2A but I don't have any info on her! I have rattled a few skeletons in this closet I can tell you but reckon there are still more in there. :o
I was born and raised in Lancashire and wish I had known what I know now before I left it would have made life a lot easier!
Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated!
Cheers
Janet :D

Hello Dotty.
I wonder if it would be possible for you to do a "look up" for me.I am after the marriage information for Elsie.m CURRIE,it is believed that she married Richard Ward in 1917 at St Paul's,Toxteth Park.
The Parents for Elsie were Jemima Currie (formally Beattie & James Currie)
If this is possible I would appreciate it.
Many Thanks

Hi Dotty, not sure if the records office holds coroners reports or newspaper cuttings but if so could you look up Edmund Michael Flood age 49 yrs. Inquest held 14th April 1902 in Liverpool. He died 13th April 1902 from excessive drinking!! Coroner was Thomas Edward Sampson. I just wondered if there were any details attached to the report. Thanks so much for your help with this.
-
Hi Dotty,
If you have time I would appreciate a look up at the Lancashire Record Office.
Harry Cross b c 1820 married Mary Ann Walne, Dec 1852 (District Preston Lancs)
From the census 1861
RG9/3110 folio 15 p26
Henry Cross, Head, Mar, 40 c 1821 Machanic b Lancs Goosnargh
Mary Ann Cross Wife, Mar, 36,c 1825 Housekeeper, b Lancs Preston
John Cross, Son, Unm, 17, Machanic b Lancs Preston
William Henry Cross Son, Un, 10, c 1851(Draver inn?), b Lancs Blackburn
Jane Cross, Daur, 3, c 1858 At Home, b Lancs Over Darwen
In 1871 there are two more children, Thomas and Daniel, Daniel married my fathers Aunt in Canada.
I really want to find out more about Henry and Mary, their marriage may give some more clues. Otherwise I'll send for the cert.
Mary says she was born Preston in the census.
Henry says born Goosnargh, if you have time to check baptisms that would be great but understand if you don't this time of year is busy.
I also understand from the look ups I do at Berks R.O. that sometimes without a clear idea of the Parish it can be impossible...especially if it is a big area, but I'm not sure of Lancashire Parishes.
thanks again
Newbie :)

Hi Newbie

Hi Dotty.
The next time that you go (2006)would it be possible for you to do a marriage look up for me?
I am after the marriage of James Grierson Beattie.
I have been given these details
Year 1916 June quarter Salford
8D/251.
If this could be done I would appreciate it.
Ted (Au)
-
Baldy,
the Lancashire Records office don't hold the Civil Registration Records ,you would have to order the cert unless you could give me the church or area of Salford.The majority of parish records finish late 1800 but occasionally you get the odd church supplying later details.With any luck some of the 1916 marriages will be on Free BMD ,they're up to 1915 now.In the meantime if you know the area I will see what I can do--it may get about 2 weeks before I go again. Best wishes for 2006.
Dotty

Hi Dotty,
Next time you go into the Lancashire Records Office, I wonder if you could do a birth Look-up for me please?

Hi,
Would it be possible to look up a marriage at West Derby, Register Office?
It is Herbert H Price and Annie Dobson at West Derby, Register Office in 1920.
Thanks again,
Chesters :)
-
Next time you go could you look up a marriage for a Robert McKenna in the Liverpool area please? It will most likely be in the 1840's. Thanks.
-
I go to the Lancashire Records Office quite often normally Wednesdays.If anybody wants a Look-Up please tell me exactly what you want and I will see what I can do.
Dear Dottie
Hoping you are still able to do look ups. Very kind.
I am trying to find details of Birth for my great great Grandmother, Elizabeth Holmes (or could be Holme or Holmer) born abt 1827 in Blackburn.
Also her marriage to William Davis. This could have been In Blackburn area or Birmingham. I am trawling through GRO indexes and found no marriage to date.
Is it possible to find her on 1841 census in Blackburn, she would have been 14.
On 1851 1871 census she was living in Aston Birmingham with husband William Davis (a mathematical Instrument maker and journeyman) and their family. William and their children were all born in Birmingham. The birth certificate for their son Samuel Davis provided her maiden name. Their eldest child on 1851 census was Eliza, born in 1849.
Thank you
-
Hi Dotty, please can you lookup a John and Sarah Steeple for me on the Prestwich St Mary marriage registers if you are still doing lookups at the Lancashire Record Office. Their first child was baptised 1808 in Middleton although somebody has looked them up for me on a Middleton marriage index but can't find them and has advised I try the Prestwich parish registers instead.
Would be very grateful for any help you can give me.
Anna

Kena---
I didn't have any luck with the Prestwich records
Dotty

Holmes
Couldn't find Elizabeth on church records I really need to get a rough idea which part of Blackburn to start searching ---did come across a Nancy d of John and Mary Holme a famer Rishton and Mary Ann d of Robert and Sarah Blacburn a weaver.Get back to me in about three weeks and I will have another search if you haven't found anything out.
Dotty
-
Dear Dottie
Thank you for all your time and effort. I really do not have a lot more detail. Only the census record in 1851 when she is married, living in Birmingham, with her place of birth shown as Blackburn, Lancs.
I am searching for her marriage registration to William Davis, either in Blackburn or Bham, as this would give her father's name and her address at date of marriage. If I come across anything I will contact you.
Thanks again
-
Hi Dotty, Thanks very much for taking the time to look for me anyway.
Anna
-
Hi Dotty, please would it be possible for you to try another couple of churches that have been suggested to me for my John and Sarah Steeple's marriage the next time that you are at the Lancashire Records Office. They are Oldham St Mary's and Bury St Mary's. Just to recap John and Sarah's first child was born in 1808.
Would be very grateful for any help you could give me.

Dottyave you got Joseph and Elizabeth on the51 and 61?

Hello Dotty - I have only just seen this thread and maybe too late. If I am - please don't worry.
My G.Gt.Grandfather was born in Wigan in 1825 and married a Mary Ann Farrell. Their first child was born in Rouen - France in 1846.
I have searched all over for a marriage entry for them without success and thought they might just have been recorded in the Lancashire Record Office for a marriage c1845.
As I say - if you are unable to look I understand.
Kind regards.........
-
Hi Dotty
Thanks for replying. I have Joesph and Elizabeth on the 51 and 61 Census. Robert and his Elizabeth on the 61 Census. Robert and Elizabeth then went to Australia but the rest of the family seems to have disappeared, they dont seem to be on the 71 Census am not sure if the census was compulsary. I have Joseph Dying in 1876 courtesy of the Free BDM's site.
Thanks

Dear Dottie
Re: Elizabeth Holmes b abt 1827 Blackburn.
You kindly replied to my message in Febrauary and asked me to get back to you in 3 weeks if I still required your help.
I am afraid I have no further information since my previous message below. If I could find the marriage registration to William Davis or her birth registration it would help.
All their children were born in Birmingham, the eldest born 1849.
The 1851, 1871 census records show her birthplace as Blackburn Lancs.
Thank you again.

I can't believe when I got home I had lost or left my notepad at the Record Office .However the only additonal info other than they were of that Parish is that his occupation was a compositon which I am sure should have been compositor.

Hi Dotty, if the offer still stands id be greatful for some help!
Not sure if this is possible but
ive got a marriage between a Robert BANKS and Margaret HURST dateed 21 Feb 1819 in St Johns Roman Catholic Wigan, i wonder if you could find the marriage and see if there are any more details??
Ive also noticed the same marriage occuring a day later in All Saints Wigan, taken from the IGI on family search...
Im probably more interested in the Catholic record however...
Ive been trying to find a baptism for my William HURST abt 1818/1819 whom i 'believe' is the son of Margaret, but hes being a bit elusive! Maybe he was also baptised in the Catholic church??? If this could be looked up then id really appreciate your help.
If not, dont worry!!
Once again thanks for your offer and time
Regards Jen

Hi Dotty,
If you could find their birth's that would be great. I wasn't sure whether they were going to be "of county" or not. "Of county" does mean they were born there, and not just residing there, doesn't it?

Hi Jen
All the catholic records revealed were their names.They married on the 23rd 1819 at the Wigan Parih church by banns Hugh Hickox and Sam Vizard were witnesses.Intrigued by the two marriages I had a look at the baptisms and found Margaret Hurst born 27th August 1799 baptised30th August 1799 daughter of Thomas and Margaret Mofs[wonder if that should be Moss] Sponsers were James and Ann Hurst I will have to check their surname must have had a senior moment and forgot to write it down but I am almost sure it was Hurst.

Hi DOtty thanks so much for your help!! One cant expect everything to be easy!
Im probably typing this after a tiring day so excuse any confusions i may have ::)
When you say you looked for Margt HURST's baptism was that in the Catholic records??
I did a quick check for a marriage of THomas and Margaret on the IGI, Margaret is listed as MOSS and the marriage occured in Billinge in 1788 so i guess that must be the one then.
Another quicky, what do "sponsors" mean??
Also i dont mean to be cheeky but did you happen to notice any baptism for William HURST abt the time of Margaret Hursts marriage to Robert BANKS??
If you dont have time then dont worry yourself!!
Thanks again though for all your help, much appreciated!!
Regards Jen :)

Hi Dotty,
I asked about this one ages ago, but please,
Next time you go into the Lancashire Records Office, I wonder if you could do a birth or christening Look-up for me please?
It's for my Great Grandfather, William Wilson, who was born at Poulton-le Sands, (now Morcambe) in approx 1827. I'm not sure about Parishes for Morcambe, - would that have come under Lancaster? He married Elizabeth Brunton in approx 1852, and my Grandfather, William James Wilson was born in Kirkby Ireleth, Lancs in August 1860.
Many thanks, Romilly.

thanks for clearing that up for me... :)
William HURST was born according to census details abt 1818/19
This baptism really is a stab in the dark as William lists his father as Robert BANKS on his marriage certificate, hence my queries about the Robert BANKS and Margaret HURST marriage.
I can find no details about Williams birth and am now beginning to think it was a Catholic baptism...

Hi Dotty.
Yes I would still like you to do the lookup if you can spare the time.

Hi Dotty
Not sure where she would be living when Elizabeth was, I have tried to find her birth certificate but have had no luck, in 1881 Matilda was living at the Bay Horse Inn, North Road, Preston with her Auntie Ann Threlfall (ne Griffiths).
If they don't have the records there Dotty have you any idea where I would find them please.

Hi Dotty, Thanks for the offer. Next time you are in can you look up Mary McLoughlin. Born in Liverpool 26th May 1895. I think I have found her two marriages:
Mary McLoughlin m Patrick Whitehead. L'pool, April, May, June 1915. (8b 254 REG - LP/302/32).Patrick went off to war shortly after and died.
Mary McLoughlin (Whitehead) m Michael McCormack. L'pool 1916 (April, May,June) 8b117 REG_LP 307/190.
What I need are Mary's and Michael's parents names if poss. Fingers crossed!

Do you think this might be the reference for Elizabeth 's birth?
Burnley September qtr 1885 8e 271.
Matilda married Henry Parker in the June qtr 1886 8e 306 Burnley.Burnley was the registration district for Nelson.Have you got the family on the 1891 census?If not I can give you the details.Let me know if you think these are possibilities.
Dotty

Hi Dotty
Many thanks for the birth registration reference I will send for it now and see if it is the Elizabeth I'm looking for, yes Matilda did marry Henry Parker I wanted to see if Henry was the father with her being born before they got married. :-\
Thanks again for all your help Dotty.

Hi Dotty, Thanks very much, greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you.

Anna have you seen the entry on the IGI site ?
Dotty
-
Hi Dotty, yes, have seen that already but he was a labourer in Bury when he got married so have been advised by somebody who has been doing Middleton lookups for me to check out Bury and Prestwich areas first.
Am very grateful for any help you can give me.

Would like to send a big thank you for the birth reference you found me for Elizabeth Griffiths, the certificate arrived today and it's the correct one. :)
Ann

Hi Dotty, please would it be possible for you to do some extra lookups for me in the Oldham St Mary's parish registers, they are all Steeple baptisms, parents John and Sarah, Ann baptised 24 June 1792, Sarah baptised 7 September 1794, Stephen baptised 15 January 1797, Harriot baptised 4 April 1802, Amelia baptised 2 November 1806, Robert baptised 27 January 1811 and Jane baptised 31 January 1813.
As always am very grateful for any help you are able to give me.
Thanks
Anna
PS Am interested more than anything in where they were living at the time and in the first one if they are indicated as out of towners or not, Thanks again.

I go to the Lancashire Records Office quite often normally Wednesdays.If anybody wants a Look-Up please tell me exactly what you want and I will see what I can do.
Dear Dottie
Hoping you are still able to do look ups. Very kind.
I am trying to find details of Birth for my great great Grandmother, Elizabeth Holmes (or could be Holme or Holmer) born abt 1827 in Blackburn.
Also her marriage to William Davis. This could have been In Blackburn area or Birmingham. I am trawling through GRO indexes and found no marriage to date.
Is it possible to find her on 1841 census in Blackburn, she would have been 14.
On 1851 1871 census she was living in Aston Birmingham with husband William Davis (a mathematical Instrument maker and journeyman) and their family. William and their children were all born in Birmingham. The birth certificate for their son Samuel Davis provided her maiden name. Their eldest child on 1851 census was Eliza, born in 1849.
Thank you
-
Dear Dottie
Unsure if you are still able to do look ups. I sent you a message in February, you may remember, my original message is below.
I have searched Birmingham Records and the Birmingham register office have no trace in Bham of a marriage of Elizabeth Holmes to William Davis in Bham area about 1845-1849.
You did suggest this may have been Elizabeth's second marriage. With this in mind, I have traced a marriage of Elizabeth Sarah Holmes to William Wilson in 1845 in Lewisham, Greater London. The death of a William Wilson in 1846 in Blackburn and then a marriage of Betty Wilson to William Davis in Blackburn June Quarter in 1849. Is there anyway that you may be able to find the parish records for the second marriage in 1849 to see if Elizabetrh Holmes was described as a widow. Or if you could perhaps trace her birth in 1827 for her parents details? I would be really grateful. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.

Good afternoon Dotty,
My name is Virginia Latham living in the USA and researching my husband's family from Lancashire. I'm putting together bot sides of the family in a genealogy book for our grandchildren.
His grandparents were William and Margaret Latham from Padiham, Salford, Preston and Blackburn. They immigrated to the US in the early 1900s and settled in New England.
Their son Charles, stayed in Padiham, the other children immigrated with them, Robert, John, William, Jr. Eizabeth. We are interested in Charles, he stayed in Padiham, whether he had any children and whether he finally immigrated to the US.
Thank you Dotty.
Virginia

Hi Dotty.
How are you getting along with all the requests???
Next time you go to the records office would it be possible for you to look up a marriage for me??
This person would be Janet Beattie.
Her address given in the census was 1 Croft street Broughton,Lancashire.
Her parents were Thomas Beattie & Elizabeth Grierson.
She is shown on the 1901 census as being aged 20 and living at home ,still with the name Beattie.
I have looked for her any cannot find her after that date.
Regards Baldy
-
Hi Dotty,
If your still up for lookups id appreciate another check up if thats ok?
Just want a check up on a marriage between
John RIGBY and Alice GARSWAY/ GUESSWAY?? (not entirely sure on the surname there)
Marriage occured 2 Jan 1797 Wigan.
Any other info availabel would be appreciated, Many thanks in advance for your work
REgards Jen

Will do next week.
Dotty

Hi Dotty, just wondered if you got chance to go to the record office this week to look into my requests or whether it will be next week now.
Thanks
Anna
-
Did go yesterday not sure if I did your lookup but will check and let you know later.I only seem to be getting messages if I look for them they don't seem to be coming through informing me that there are messages there for me I am quite puzzled over this.Perhaps if you PM me I will get them.
Dotty

Holmes
Not done your look up yet but have you been on the Lancashire Online Parish Clerk Project site for Blackburn ?There is a baptism in 1827 for an Elizabeth Holme could this be yours?
Dotty
-
Thank you Dottie. It is a super site. So much hard work must have gone into it.
If you should go to try to do look up for me, would it be possible to look for marriage of Elixabeth Holme and William Davis abt 1849 when I believe their first child was born.
As there is a Baptism on the Lancashire online parish clerk site for Elizabeth Holme at St Mary the Virgin Blackburn, 18/2/1827, they could have been married in the same church??
Thanks again
Holmes
-
Hi
Not much info --the name was shown as Garsway ,they were both of this town and were married by banns John Gibson officiated and that was it
Regards
Dotty
-
Next time you go, could you look up the birth of Joseph Clegg in the first quarter of 1888 in Preston, please? Thanks :)
Stephen :)
-
Hi Holmes
I did look yesterday but the records were very poorly presented on microfiche and I didn't see the marriageI have just looked on the Lancashire BMD and it is entered there
Dotty
-
Virginia
Regarding your request unfortunatley after the 1901 census it can be quite hard tracing families.However I did look on the Padiham 1901 census but couldn't see Charles.
Have you got details of William and Margaret on the 1901 census,where were they, was Charles still with them then?
Do you know what Charles's occupation was -might be able to find out a little more from trade directories.
On the Free BMD site there is a Charles marrying in the Blackburn area in 1908 could this be him? Please get back to me and I will see if I can help further.Because of holidays it will now be mid June before I go to the Records Office again
Dotty
-
Baldy dates are too new for the Record office.
Do you know that she definitely married?There is that marriage at Liverpool in 1909 for a Janet Beattie --could be her -- a possible I know wrong area but you never know in family history lol
Dotty
-
Hi Dotty
Many thanks for the try.
baldy
-
Dear Dottie
I do appreciate your time in trying to find the marriage for me. It is so frustrating when the microfiche is blurred. From your information, about her birth being registered on the Lancashire Parish Clerk Website, I now believe her surname was Holme and not Holmes. In fact looking at my great grandfather's birth certificate, her surname is written as Holme with a slight line at the end which I assumed was where the 's' had been cut off.
I would be really grateful if you could possibly confirm where you found the marriage registered on BMD Lancashire (year, district quarter, and under which names.)
I have looked on BMD Lancashire and I am unable to find it. On 1837 I found a marriage of Elizabeth Holme in 1849 Sept Quarter XXV with a district which was written as W/Ward. However, I couldn't find a William Davis with the same details to connect them. (Would you know what District W/Ward is?)
Thank you for your time
Holmes

Hi
Wondered if it would be possible that you maybe able to find a birth for Priscilla Gander 1872/3 in Liverpool, her father was James Gander, anything for this family would be great, this is the biggest brickwall in my tree and until I can find any more info on Priscilla I am at a standstill :(
Thanks for your kind offer,
Jane ;)
-
Holmes it is on the Lancashire BMD not the BMD site.1849 William Davis to Betty Wilson at St James's Church. Church Kirk.The records are at Preston.You can also order the cert online.
Dotty

Thank you once again.
Holmes

Hi
Not much info --the name was shown as Garsway ,they were both of this town and were married by banns John Gibson officiated and that was it

hi again Dotty,
thanks for the lookup, not to worry abt lack of information
at least it clears up the maiden surname!
regards Jenny
-
Hi Dotty
Thanks for the lookup offer.
Could you try and find William Thomas Fouchard (Fouchard has many spelling variations), born 1852/53, Liverpool.
Father William, mother possibly Frances.
Also can not find them yet in the 1861 census.
Kind Regards
EddieW :)
-
was William [father] a french polisher ,if so in 1853 according to the Historical Directories site was living at 19 Pembroke Street Liverpool.It may just help in your census search.I also noticed a marriage on the IGI of a William Thomas Fouchard in 1874 in Manchester, the family could have moved to that area.It will be a couple of weeks before I go to the record office ca you send me a reminder please if you haven't sorted things
Dotty
-
Yes William was a French Polisher born in Scotland c1824 and i think it is the same William that married a Frances Beattie in 1846 at Liverpool.
The William Thomas married in 1874 is the son (my G Grandfather i am looking for) and he died in1893 age 40.
Have the family in 1851 (but W.T. not born then) in Dawson St Liverpool and in 1871 William Thomas is living with an Aunt and Uncle in Manchester.
It is the way the name is misspelt originally and then sometimes transcribed wrong that makes it hard to find.
Hadn't come across the Historical Directories Site before but have now bookmarked it for future reference.
Thanks
EddieW
-
There was also a William T on that site as well--a carter.
Dotty
-
Yes that's the William Thomas.
I was just about to try that site when i received your email as there should be a David - Watchmaker Jeweler and in the 1840s Anthony - French Teacher etc so i will try it now.
Thanks
EddieW
-
Hi
I would be very grateful if you could look up some information the next time you go to the records office for me
Elementary Schools in the town of Lancaster ( I myself think it could of been George Fox, but I could be wrong).
anything from the year 1881 and onwards
looking for Mary Smith/ Thomas Smith both worked there.
Thanks

Hi,
could you please look up a marriage between Richard Crutchley and Harriet Lightbourn on 29 NOV 1824 at Holy Trinity, Liverpool. I would like to know if the record has any more info, especially where Richard was born, as the one i am looking for was born in staffordshire.
Thanks

hi,
I'm looking for information on Henry Park/s/es who was a convict sent to Port Jackson Australia in 1838 arriving in 1839 on Theresa. He gives his birth place as Lancashire and was born abt 1820. He was tried at Lancashire Quarter Session ion 9th April 1838 and held in New Daily Prison Salford until transportation.
Looking for birth, baptism, parents etc
Kind regards

Hi Dotty -
I'm trying to find more about this birth - particularly the address of the parents. Unfortunately, I don't know WHERE in Manchester she was born - POSSIBLY Brunswick Street, Hulme, but that's just a hunch. She hasn't turned up on LancashireBMD or FreeBMD yet:
Ethel LAMB
born: 23 Apr 1912 Manchester
father: Thomas LAMB , iron truner
mother: Ethel PODMORE
Don't know if this is something you can look up next time you're at the LRO. Thanks - IGS
-
Hi Dotty, Sorry to pester. :-[ I added a post in April asking for info on Mary McLoughlin and Michael McCormack but can't find a reply. Have I missed it or were you unable to find anything? Don't know how to quote but my message is on page 10 I think. Would be grateful if you could have another look pleeease. :D Thanks.
-
Liverpool lass
Sorrry I haven't replied ,the church records don't go so far so you would have to order the certs[the actual certs are held at the registry offices not at the Record Offices and the public are not allowed to look at these].The only other way is from the 1901 census and it may show the parents there but thats not 100% proof .Really hought I had replied to you before.
Dotty
-
Thanks for the info Dotty. Will try the reg office.
-
Hi Dotty :)
Have you had any luck yet with the actual birth of William Thomas Fouchard born 1852/53 in Liverpool.
Father William mother Frances, we have managed to find almost everything else, marriage death trade census etc but his birth date eludes us. ???
Thanks
EddieW
-
Not yet Eddie-- will keep trying
Dotty

Hi dotty - I don't know if you're still making periodic trips to the LRO, but, if so, I wonder if you can glean more information on the following marriage:
Peter HOLMES
& Sarah BROOKS
married: 16 JUN 1833
I understand that they were married at St. Elphin's, the Parish Church of Warrington, and that LRO has the films. I'm hoping the record will have a LITTLE more info on the couple.
Thanks! IGS

Hi Dotty, please were you able to do my will lookup today.
Thanks
Anna
-
Yes Anna but there was nothing showing on the fiches.Do you think that there was a difinite will?Did he die first -then the will may be under her name?
Dotty
-
Hi Dotty, Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to check for me, am not sure if there is a definite will, am just looking into it to be honest. John's wife Sarah died 1 February 1875 in Middleton, would be very grateful if you were able to lookup if she left a will or not for me.
Thanks
Anna
-
Hi Dotty
Very kind offer to look up at the records office in Preston. I am looking for Christopher Maudsley born in Whittington on about 1786. Whittington is in the Blackburn Diocese (just). Any MAudsleys from that register would be of interest. Thanks for your time.
Clive Maudsley

Clive I came across this
Marriage

Hi Dotty
If you get time on one of your visits to the record office would you be able to look for a baptism record please. I have looked on IGI and there are 2 possibles so I am trying to work out which one is right.
John Pemberton christened St Helen's Lancs
either 29 Jan 1797 father Samuel
or 7 Sept 1797 father John
John (1797) married a Matha Clifton in London 1817, their known children so far were:
Samuel James
Lydia
William
John
Joseph
Mary
Jane
So both Samuel and John feature in children's names so I cant do a name association, hopefully a mother's name might give a clue! Any help wuld be really appreciated and many thanks for your kind offer
Shirl

Shirl
John Pemberton born 10th January father Samuel Glassmaker living Eccleston
John Pemberton born 6th June father John Gent living S which I think is Sutton
I noted this just in case
John son of John collier baptised 15th Jan 1768
No mothers names mentioned
Dotty
-
Many many thanks Dotty, now the task of trying to work out which one! The joys of family history!
Thanks again
Shirl
-
Hi Dotty,
If you get time when you go to the record office could you look up the details of Joseph Williams's marriage to Martha Henshaw? It was in 1839 at Manchester, St. John.
ALso, if possible could you look up Thomas Bebbington & Mary Hopley in 1850 at Toxteth Park, St. James and Charles Walker & Sarah Evans in 1864 at Liverpool, Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne.
thanks,
chesters.
-
Hi,
I wonder if you could look for something for a friend of mine? He is just starting his family history with my help but I can't find the birth registration for his grandfather anywhere.
I have his grandfathers marriage certificate for Dec 1919 and he ( John Gore ) was 28 years old which means he was born 1891 in Liverpool. I would like the details to be able to send for the birth certificate.
I would be very grateful if you could possibly have a look for us.
Thank you.
-
Does it show John's Gore father's name and occupation on the marriage cert?
Dotty
-
Hi Dotty,
John's father was called Thomas and on the 1881 census he was a dock labourer but was deceased when John married.
As far as I know Thomas was married to Margaret Masterson.
Hope this helps.
Thanks again.
-
No joy as yet.Who were the witnesses on the marriage cert please
Dotty
-
Hi,
The witnesses on the marriage certificate were Joseph Taylor and Elizabeth Green, her sister.
-
Hi Dotty,
Thought I would send you this one through the original plea.
John Gore born 1891 Liverpool married Alice Green 1919. His father was Thomas (Deceased) on the marriage certificate.
The 1891 census shows Thomas Gore 44, wife Margaret 40 and family living Rachel St, (St Matthews) Liverpool. There is a marriage for Thomas to Margaret Masterson 1876 and also Margaret Duffy 1877. After looking for birth dates for them both, I think Margaret Duffy is the most likely one as she is the correct age on the census born 1850.
I was hoping that if you had time to have a look at the registration it would maybe confirm it for me to be able to send for the marriage certificate. I would hate to follow the wrong family.
Again, thank you for your help.
-
I am searching for my great grandfather and family. A bit of a brick wall with more twists and turns than I care. Please tell me i this is too much to look up and I understand.
I am looking for baptisms at Manchester Cathedral.
I am trying to find the baptism of:
George William Burke born January 5, 1876. parents William Burke and Mary Jane Morris or Harriet Stone (They were married February 1874 in Manchester Cathedral).
Dorothy Burke born 06 SEP 1880 and chistened 01 MAY 1881 Manchester Cathedral. Same parents.
They also had a sister Harriet Ann Burke born December Quarter 1877 in Salford. Probably baptised in the same place.
Thank you so much- Kristin

Hello Dotty
I wounder if the next time you go to the records office that you could do a marriage lookup for me please.
I am looking for the marriage of James Grierson Beattie
He was born 1889 in Salford,his parents were Thomas Beattie & Elizabeth Grierson.
I am only assuming here,the year may be around 1916-1919
I have been give 2 people names,& would like to know the 100% correct one before applying for a certificate.
The names are
(1) Elizabeth Kevan (I got this from Lans BMD,1916)no other information
(2) Janie Stuart .

Baldy (au)

Hi Dotty
don't know if you can help n one of your trips to the lancashire records office.. My grandfather William Walker married Elizabeth Grills in may 1913 in west derby, liverpool and i have their marriage certificate. On this it says william was a police constable at preston and the archives at preston have given me the following references for his police record there.
Reference PLA 11/33, page 220
Lancashire Constabulary Examination Book
Reference PLA 13/1 series
Lancashire Constabulary Photograph Book
Also Reference PLA 54/1, No 569
Lancashire Constabulary Record Sheet (but i understand this is not available to general public but through their own research service)
i was going to send for them but they will cost be £10 each and i don't know if they will give me the information i need which is williams mothers name. I know his fathers name of thomas christopher walker is given.
William was born 25 Jan either 1888 or 1889 and i would like confirmation of which year and birthplace if possible. finally it would be great to know what years he joined and left police service.
i know it is alot to ask and quite understand if you are too busy to do this. my father died when i was young and i know very little about this side of the family and it is hard to get started
many many thanks
Trudy

Dotty, I wonder if you have time, could you check this marriage?
HOUGHTON AINSWORTH + ELLEN NUTTALL
17th December 1835 St. Mary Blackburn,Lancashire,England.
[I found this in the IGI. In Ellen's death cert. 23rd Jan 1901 she was 84 and widow of Houghton Ainsworth, cotton manufacturer.]
I would love to find Houghton's father.

Hi Dotty
If you are in the LRO & have time please would you do me a huge favour & look for a baptism for me. I have looked on LPR site with no luck.
The GGgrandfather I am looking for is WILLIAM GASKELL born around 1829/1832. Every census says he was born in Ormskirk Lancashire.
I am trying to find his birth record
On his marriage Certificate to Margaret Rothwell, in 1854, there was no father listed so poss born out of wedlock. he was listed as aged 22 on this marriage certificate making a birth year of 1832.
If you come across any birth records for the following I would love the information
Mary Gaskell 1811
Jane Gaskell 1833
James Gaskell 1837 All Ormskirk
Many thanks

Hi this is probably a big ask but i have Thomas Bentley b. according to the census 1841/2 Salford
i have his marriage cert to Sarah Tunsatll 25.12.1867 in Bradford (age 26)
Thomas is a rope maker
his father is named as Robert, printer
Robert is not given as deceased
i would like to get back further than Thomas but no-one (several people have looked on here) can find Thomas in 1841 or 51 or even 61 with a father Robert and in fact i don't think anyone can find a Robert Bentley printer.
there are several Thomas Bentleys but i cannot be sure which one is him.
do you think you may be able to find a baptisim for him?
-
Hi Dotty,
Not sure if you are still regularly visiting the Lancs Record Office but if you are and have time, would you be able to do me a huge favour (or two favours even?)
I have baptism info from IGI but would be really grateful if you could take a look at the Parish Registers to see if there were any comments written at the time ...mainly concerning the father(s). I guess it is unlikely to yield more information but it would be fantastic if it did.
Harriet Parkinson
Christening. :
04 JAN 1880 St Andrews, Manchester, Lancashire, England
Mother: Ann Eliza Parkinson
ALSO... I don't know if this is enough info as I only have a birth date
Sophia Oldham
born 6/7/1882
address Wainwright Street, Ancoat
I don't know what church it would have been unfortunately..but if it's any help she married at St Silas in 1904, and her mother's sister married in 1869 at St Johns, parish of Manchester.
Again - I'm hoping there may be more info or notes on the Parish Register than there is on the actual birth certificate - which is rather lacking in the essential details!
Many many thanks
Milly ;D

Hi,
I have the marriage cert of Thomas Campbell and Hannah Leach,19/05/1850 St Wilfreds, Preston, but when my brother went to Preston to check the parish records, a few years ago, he was unable to find the marriage.
If someone who knows their way around could recheck, I would be most grateful.
As far as we know, there were no catholics in the family so does anyone know why they would be married there.
Also, if it's not too much trouble, are there any earlier Campbells in the records - we can't find anything for Thomas except for the marriage cert which says his father was also Thomas, a joiner.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dotty.
Are you still doing look ups?
If so may I ask for this
Do not know up to what year the records are able to be searched !
Death lookup
(K) Catherine Ferguson Beattie dob:-1888 in Salford
Parents were Thomas Beattie & Elizabeth Grierson
Believe that this maybe around 1906????
I have been able to locate her only up to 1901 census
Anything that could be found would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Baldy (au)
-
Thereis a death registered in Manchester Dec q. 1906 8d 166 for a Catherine Beattie aged 18....perhaps this is her.
-
Hi Kathy.
Many thanks for the reply.
I am really at a loss for this person.
I have a photo of her taken c:-1900,in it she appears to be about 18--20 years of age,and looking as if there is nothing amiss with her..
I have not been able to find anything on/about her since the 1901 census,it may well be the same person.
I will have to send for a death certificate to "see' if this is the same person.
Again thank you for the reply
Kindest Regards

Hi - we are beginners at this game but have managed to find some interesting information on-line which we would love to verify and wondered, from your message, if you could help at all. We live in the Languedoc area of France so it is very far for us to visit Lancashire often.
We are currently researching the Turkington side of our family and believe that it has been mis-transcribed as Tarkington in the 1841 Census records on-line. Having bought the original copy we can understand why !!! It also seems they could have been members of a workhouse ?? - lots of different people/names at the same address.
If the originals are in the Lancashire Record Office, maybe you could request sight of them and help clear up this issue ???? Would this normally cost anything ?
Any chance of just coming back to us and telling us if any of this is a possibility please ? We could then take it from there.
Thanks, in advance, regards, Ian & Maggie Parkinson

Hi Dotty,

Dont know what info it gives. But I'm trying to find his parents or address.
Many Thanks, anything would be most gratefully accepted.

Hi Dotty, I am looking for a marriage c. 1845 between Robert Wilson/Robert James Wilson and Mary Smitton. I have already discovered one marriage for a Mary Smitton in 1845, but it was to a George Hubbard. I am sure there was a marriage between Robert and Mary because I have Mary's death cert. dated 1864 and it names "Robert Wilson, coachman & domestic servant" as her husband. This tallies with other information I have. The couple had a son Robert (born 1845 in Litherland) and his birth cert. states his parents as being Robert Wilson and Mary Wilson, formerly Smitton. I think that the marriage may have taken place in the Liverpool area but it is quite possible that it took place elsewhere in Lancashire as Robert had other lancashire connections (Overton, near Morcambe). Also, it might be that the marriage took place in a catholic church. Don't know if this is relevant. Any help much appreciated.

Hi Dotty,
Many thanks for your offer! I have recently found the marriage details of William Schofield to Mally Holt. They were married at St Chad's in Rochdale on 4 Jan 1819 and they were describes as 'of this parish'. I'm now looking for a birth for William. Is this too little information for you to be able to trace him?
Best wishes

Please can anyone tell me if Dotty is still doing looks ups. She hasn't replied to any request since 2007.
Or how do we get the request to another page?
-
To all concerned I apologise if I have not replied to any requests for look-ups Somehow I haven't picked up on them but if anyone notices my postings they have been things I done at the LRO just taking the posting from the board so my interest in doing lookups hasn't dwindled.If I don't acknowledge your posting please just email and give me a nudge.

Hello Dotty,
Could I possibly ask you again for a Birth Look-up for my Grandfather, William James Wilson, (1860-1937)?
I asked you a few years ago, back I had no definate time frame then.
Working from the 1901 and 1911 Censuses, I have narrowed his Birth Date down to being between April 1859 and March 1860.
He gives place of birth as 'MANCHESTER, LANCS. on both Censuses.
Many Thanks, Romilly.

Have you found him on the 1861 and 71 census if so where is he living and with whom please?
Dotty
-
Have you found him on the 1861 and 71 census if so where is he living and with whom please?
Dotty
Thats the problem Dotty, - I can't find his birth, & I can't find him definately on the 1861/'71/'81 or 1891 Censuses ::) ::)
On his Marriage Cert, (in Swansea in June 1893) he gives his father as 'William Wilson' (deceased) Occupation 'Mason'. He then appears on the 1901 and 1911 Censuses in Swansea, married to my Grandmother, & giving his place of birth as 'Manchester, Lancs.' on both of them.
I've spent about the last 30yrs looking, (off and on:-) & I can't definately find him.
It is very frustrating... ???
Anyone who might have been able to help is long dead...
Cheers, Romilly.

Thank you very much Dotty.
Unfortunately it doesn't give me any info on who he was. He did make it to Australia and married and had family. But we can't find any info on him before this. I cant find a Bapt or anything to tell me who his parents are.
Still I'll keep searching. Thanks again.

Look-up Tudge
I found Doris Cornes with her mother Alice c1858 and siblings Ernest b1893,John b1897 and Arthur 1898 staying at Park Street Prestwich. This was on the 1901 census.Staying with them were Alice b1886 Herbert 1887 .Sydney 1889 and Leonard 1883 they were nephews and neice of Alices HusbandLooking further into the latter info I found these children with there widowed father John on the 1891 census under the name of Carnes he gave his place of birth as Staffordshire so this may indicate that Alice's husband could have been born there as well Going off Alice's age this could have been a second marriage for both.
Doris married in 1916 see Free BMD site for details.
That's all I have found out at the moment

Hi Dotty,
I hope you can help on your next trip to the records office. I'm after info from the Darwen electoral roll (if LRO hold it) for the period 1943-1953 concerning my Gt Aunt. Her name is Annie Hudson b.1921 and she was resident at 65 Exchange Street, Darwen in November 1943, when she was the informant for her fathers death. Unfortunately contact was lost with her and I don't know if/when she married or what her married name might be.
I'm hoping that by finding the date she was last known at Exchange Street I may be able to work out a married name from the registers then try to find her from there.
Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi Yorkie Dobby,
And Many Thanks for looking for my missing Grandfather for me :)
I hadn't come across the first one that you found before...I will see if I can find him & family on the Censuses. (Would a Joiner's trade link to House Painting? My Grandfather is a 'House Painter & Decorator' on the 1901 and 1911 Censuses).
The second one, - with the names transposed, I have looked at before...but had discounted after following his family on the Censuses. (I think that he turns up married to someone other than my Grandmother, Margaret Rees). However, I will go through my notes again & re-check.
My stumbling block has been that on his wedding to my Grandmother in Swansea in June 1893, (when he's 32yrs) he gives his father's name as 'William Wilson, deceased, Occupation Mason'. And so I've been looking for a William James, with a father of that description...
I realise of course that he might not have existed, - or might not have been married to William James's mother!! ;D
Thanks Again for looking, - I really appreciate the help.
Cheers, Romilly.

Hi Romilly,
WILLIAM DAD OCCUPATION MASON is your hard proven fact to work from YARDSTICK DATUM LINE UP/DOWN to work FROM or back.
There are a few possibilities? I never found my grandfathers birth certificate born 1867 as we thought Derbyshire where he had lived and by accident found him in the IGI lds bapt in Wales (Not WALES COUNTRY) village Yorkshire 3 miles into Yorkshire from his residence village in Derbyshire.
Your Marriage in Swansea 1893 of William James father William of Manchester? Residence or Birth
Qu? Was Manchester William James parish of residence Ie Where he lived 3 weeks before the marriage or his place of birth.
Why and when did William James moved to Swansea. or Did they lived in Manchester and only they married in Swansea as the brides parish-meaning she had moved to Manchester and met William.
There are 5 possibles the marriage certificate- Parish church marriage register-Bishops transciption copy of - Licence by allegation bond marrage.and Banns records
Birth Certificate
Parish baptism
Bishops transcription copy
Censuses ages of William James need at least 2- 3 better
Age at death on Death certificate and Burial parish age and gravestone age or Memoral copy of grave stone called MI's or Dedications
If he was the first sibling of William Wilson father occ mason
Walking out together birth out of wedlock Bastardry order
Under his mothers maiden name.
Any 2 of the above confirms William James Wilson (or Mother maiden name and William father was another surname being NOT Wilson if born out of wedlock.) Existance and age.
.......................................................................
THE MAIN OBJECT Forget William James for now.
Your G?Granddad. WILLIAM THE MASON
If like my granddad and no birth certifcate found then concentrate on his father and by pass William James
Thus objective is William Wilson born/bapt in or round Mancester c1840 +/- 10 years.
Best of Luck!! hope it helps or any bit of helps above
Dobby

Many Thanks Again Dobby,
You've given me lots of ideas to chew over...
William James Wilson & Margaret Rees were married at The Parish Church Swansea, after 'Banns'. I have a copy of the Marriage Cert, but I hadn't realized that I could persue the Banns as well...(Would I have to contact the Church to do this, - or are they now on-line somewhere?).
While Margaret Rees's family were long-term residents of Swansea, (I have found them back to 1790 via Parish Records, etc) I can find no trace of William James Wilson there before his marriage. (He doesn't seem to be on the 1891 Census for Wales). However, Swansea at the end of the 19th Century was somewhat of a 'boom town', & I imagine that a Journeyman House Painter, (as William James appears on the Birth Cert of his eldest son, William Havelock Wilson) would have travelled about for work?
It is also quite possible that as William James was born in (approx) 1860, - that his birth was never registered. (However, my Great Grandfather Evan Rees, born Swansea 1838, - was!).
I have tried looking for a William Wilson, (Mason) using the approx dates that you suggest, - but none seem to fit:-( I've also gone through the Censuses searching for William Wilsons/Masons, - but no joy...(Nothing obvious on the IGI either).
William James Wilson himself seems to have been fairly certain that his place of birth was Manchester, & I was also told this by my late Uncle & a cousin...
As I write, I'm looking at his entry for the 1911, in his own handwriting, giving pob as 'Manchester, Lancs.' I can't tell you how frustrating it is not to be able to find him with his family!! ::) ::) And how I wish that he had an unusual middle name, - especially in view of some of the middle names that he gave his sons ;D
I will take up your suggestion Dobby, & put my Grandfather on the back boiler...while I trawl around again amongst the William Wilsons (no longer) of this world... ;)
Thanks Again, - it is really helpful to look at it anew, through a fresh pair of eyes!
Cheers, Romilly.

Hi Dotty,
Thank you for your response about William Schofield. I knew I was asking for something nearly impossible so your reply was not a surprise. William & Mally were married on 4 Jan 1819 at St Chad's in Rochdale and had 4 children before William died in 1832. They were Mary (b 1823), William (b1826), Emmanuel (b1828) & Eliza (b1832). I have found the family in the 1841 and 1851 censuses but there were no grandparents living with them. I suspect this will not help but if you do find anything, I will be extremely grateful because I think I am coming to a complete standstill on my Schofield line.
Regards

Hi Romilly again.
These common surnames are hard to sort out. I was hoping a marriage by Licence as that has a little more info and names the bestman sometimes and bonds man. Banns maybe on film or fich at Swansea local studies library and contact them! they do mostly free look ups on known date for 1/2 an hour. some send copies of parish register original free or petty cash amount in cost.
Swansea had shipping and Manchester ship canal coaster cargo small ships-Painter Joiners etc. Food for thought!!
You need a marriage for William Wilson senior.
Trade Directories Manchester-oveerseers apprentice settlement- removal- examination-rate books collecting cash payment for the poor -paying out cash and so on.
William Senior may have left a WILL ??? with sons on and William James Wilson.
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/
You are now heading for pre 1837 and there loads of info in archives also Newspapers Pre and post 1837
Your Best bet is Manchester Family history society and Join as member?? if you think you need access but a load is free as guests.(Phone-Write)
I'll send a Private mail on this! as there are reasons not too post on this website. Ie Bought info- private info- Copy rights ect. as real genealogy in archives.
Manchester/Bolton Archive will help and advice -Family history societies will help if you so elect at a little cost.

Hello dotty,
how kind of you to do look ups for people.
I also would love a look up in the Lancashire Records Office if thats OK.
Now my G Grandparents Albert and Mary Isaac [nee Allen] had five children that I know of but my cousin did find a birth for a John Ernest Isaac registered in March 1872 at West Derby. [Their first born son George his birth was also registered at West Derby in 1870.]The volume number is 8b and the Page number is 303. My cousin is convinced he is also a child born to Albert and Mary.
This John Ernest Isaac unfortunately died we think,registered September 1873 at West Derby aged one. The volume number is 8b page number 230.
Could you check to see who the parents were for this John Ernest Isaac. Both the birth and the death if possible.
If you can`t find any records of this don`t worry.
Regards Johngirl

Hi all, I am new to this forum.
I have Robert BUTLER alias Robert BROWN sentenced 5 March 1831 for life and transported to Tasmania. His convict indents here, say he was aged 20 years sentenced Lancaster and had previous convictions. I have been unable to find his birth however, his marriage in NSW states he was from Liverpool, England. I would be delighted if somebody could look up Bills of Prosecution for him.
Regards Rhonda3

Hi Dotty,
I have just read the first post to this forum and now, realise that it started with your offer to do Look-Ups. I would be pleased if you could Look-Up.Bills of Prosecution or newspaper report of Robert BUTLER'S court hearing.
Robert BUTLER alias Robert BROWN sentenced Lancaster 5 March 1831. I think he may have been sentenced to death and reprieved as, a newspaper clipping:
Preston Chronicle, Saturday, 2nd July 1831 list him:
Capital Convicts-The commuted sentences of the prisoners convicted at our last assizes (three months ago) were received only a few days since by Mr Higgins the keeper of the gaol and are as follows,viz-- Robert JAQUES, Robert BUTLER, otherwise Robert BROWN, William TRAVERS, James ANDERTON, Peter KENYON, John HALLWELL, and John GREENHALGH, severely found guilty of burglary.
Thank you Dotty.

Hi Rhonda
Unfortunately the QSP records don't reveal much other than the costs,occasionally there may be a clue of area possibly were the witnesses came from but no addresses.On other records[can't think what they are called at the moment]when the prisoner gets transported all it says isthe prisoners name and of which township.I will look for you but it will be the28th July before I go to the LRO again.

Hi Dotty,
Document ref. no. DDCM 1/37 Lancashire Record office have looked up this document for me and sent me the information, which gives no more information only, that they were sentenced to the Term of Their Natural Lives.
Preston Chronicle, Saturday 2 July 1831, Issue 983. Capital Convicts- The commuted sentences of the prisoners capitally convicted at our last assizes (three months ago) were received only a few days ago by Mr. Higgin, the keeper of the gaol, and are as follows, viz-Robert Jaques, Robert Jaques, Robert Butler otherwise called Robert Brown, William Travis, James Anderton, Peter Kenyon, John Hallwell and John Greenhalgh, severally found guilty of burglary and sentenced to Transportation for life.
Dotty, I have the copy from the Preston Chronicle again, there is no mention of the town Robert Butler was from.
I must mention too, for those who don't know. If you are a resident of New South Wales, you can apply on line for a Readers Ticket for the New South Wales State Library. Your Readers Ticket will be posted to you, once it arrives you will have access to 18th and 19th Century British Newspapers this is how I obtained the copy.
Kind regards

Hi Dotty,
I'm looking for a birth/baptism record for Mally Hall born about 1797 in Ashton-under-Lyne and then her marriage to William Schofield between 1815 and 1823. If you are able to give any help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Dotty,
If you get time when you next go the the record office could you do a quick marriage look up please.
Joseph Williams and Martha Henshaw at Manchester, St John in 1839.
Many thanks,
Chesters.
Also, Roger, I don't know if you've seen this but there is a marriage of a William Schofield and a Mally Holt in 1819 in Rochdale and a christening that might be worth looking at of a Matty Holt Ashton Under Lyne, St Michael in 1797.
Chesters.
-
Hi Chesters,
Thank you for the lead on Mally Holt. I had already found that record but am trying to eliminate possible errors. Mally Holt/Hall married William Schofield but he died in 1832. Mally remarried Joseph Dale in 1834 and they had a son, Peter, whose birth was registered on 23 March 1839. On his birth certificate his mother's name is given as Mally Dale formerly Hall (see attachment). However, although it looks like Hall, it could be Holt and that is why I am searching for a possible marriage between William Schofield and Mally Hall. Mally and Joseph also had a daughter, Ann, in 1835. If anyone could look at her birth certificate for me, that may confirm Mally's maiden name. Incidentally, could the christening of Matty Holt in 1797 be Mally Holt and are the parents shown as Groves and Sally Holt?
Any help in looking up possible records would be much appreciated.
Roger
-
There wouldn't be a birth cert for Mary Ann 1835. Registration didn't start until 1837. You need to find a bapt.
On Lancashire BMD Peter Dale 1839. Mums maiden name says HOLT.

Thank you Frithy!

Hi Dotty,
Thank you for your kind offer.
If you have time on your next visit, would it be possible for your check if they hold the baptisms for St Augustine's Church, Chorlton-on-Medlock. I have checked at Manchester library and the baptism records between 1826 and 1856 appear to be missing.
Specifically, I am looking for the baptism records of John Grant (born c1852/53) and Michael Grant (born c1854/55). The parents are Patrick Grant and Catherine Cox. To further complicate matters then could be recorded under the following names GRANT, GRANTEN, GRALTON or GRANTHAM.
The marriage of the Patrick GRALTON/Catherine COX took place at St Augustine's in July 1848 and so far I have definitely linked 3 children - twins Patrick GRANT and Charles GRANT who were born and died in 1857 and Thomas GRALTON who was born in 1864. The name GRANTEN was used on a rent book for the house where the twins were born and the name GRANTHAM appeared on the death certificate for their father.
I would really appreciate any help you are to give.
Thank you and best regards,

Wow! what a great offer. I'm searching for more information on an ancestor by the name of Mary Lee (Lea, Leigh) who was convicted in the Chester Session of Pleas, 27th August, 1817. She was transported to Australia. Is it possible to get transcripts of the court proceedings? I have no specific information on her prior to her conviction (i.e. date of birth, place of birth, parents, etc). Maybe you could direct me to other web sites or contacts. I'm not sure if this falls within your kind offer. Here's hoping.

It will be next week before I go again.Do you know if she was from Little Bolton?

Hi Dotty.

Re: Mary Lee, the convict! From convict records here in Australia it is 'known' that she was aged 18 on conviction, worked as a market woman, convicted of larceny from a shop, was not able to write, sentenced to death but commuted to transportation for life, arrived in Tasmania on 14th November 1818 on the vessel "Elizabeth Henrietta". Not much to go on to help pinpoint her in England (Wales?) but that is the joy of tracking down these illusive ancestors ;D Thanks again. Judy

Hi Dotty
Would it be possible for a look up for baptism of William Wallwork born Tyldesley in 1781/1782. He died 29 Dec 1857 in Hill Top, Walkden. His 'wife' was called Mary, I haven't found a marriage yet. A son, John Wallwork was born 1815/1815. I've been unable to find any other children of William and Mary.
Thanks in advance
Barbara
Added Recently found - William Wallwork SNR married Alice Jarrard (possibly Gerrard) Deane By Bolton in 1772 (M005891) - then William s/o William and Alice was christened there in 1780 (P005891).

Hi Dotty a bit of info. we found out from Barbara's sc. hunt, there was no parish church in Tyldesley at that time so he would have been bp. nearby but from the parish of Tyldesley we have found one in Peel by Hutton but not convinced it is the same William maybe he was bp. at St Stephens Astley or Leigh

Hi,
Not sure you can help, I am tracing to find the birth certificate for William Ainsworth b.1841 Livesey, Blackburn. DOB obtained from census records so could be vague. I cannot find the family on 1841 census.
Unfortunately his marriage cert says of full age in 1878 so no clue there! He died 1st Dec 1904 aged 64 and was in Blackburn at the time (have cert)
His father's name was George Ainsworth and I think his mother was called Jenny/Gennie Seddon but this is not confirmed? Siblings were Thomas b.1839 in Brindle, Betty b.1843 in Houghton , Grace b. 1846, Margaret b. 1850, Ann Elizabeth b.1851 and George b.1858 (all born in Lancs)
The GRO have checked 1840-1842 and came up with nothing. I wondered if maybe parish records would give baptism dates which could confirm place/date of birth.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you Dawn

I had a look on the 1851 census and noticed they had a visitor with surname Cotton. Could this be the marriage?

Justinexyz,
Thank you so much- wow all that in half an hour!
Can I just check last two children both called George? Assume one died but just want to be sure not typo?
I did have a potential mother as Jane so could well be correct but had a Genny on the 1851 census as his wife which is pre-birth of some of the children. Methinks need to go back and check all of what I have. I suppose Janie could sound like Genny.
This is my first time on Rootschat so wasn't sure what to expect. I am seriously impressed and will be back.
Thank you for all your help, I'll let you know if turns out to be correct marriage. Best wishes Dawn

All Saints Church Stockport Cheshire.

Hi,
I wonder if your kind offer still stands.
I am looking into the Lingard and Conley families and have found that there is a possibility that a couple of my ancestors appeared in the Assizes at various times - I'm not sure what records still exist but I've found on Ancestry the following information and wonder if there is any further details available.
All the persons below - as far as I understand it - lived in the Hebden Bridge/Todmorden area
William Lingard - County Sessions Preston 16 October 1839
William Lingard - July 1825
William Lingard - 4 April 1853, 29 November 1855, 13 October 1856, February 1861, 22 February 1865
James Lingard - Epiphany 1832, 15 October 1855, 6 January 1871
Thomas Conley - 6 April 1863, 16 October 1878 and 19 May 1847
I realise that this is a lot of info to ask for but I'd be really grateful for any help you could give even if its just to point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Order of filiation and maintenance of bastard daughter of James Rogerson of Fulwood, cordwainer, and Margaret Smithson QSP/1940/1 1769 13 Jul", if that is possible?

Can you tell me whether the records office at Preston would be the right place to go if I am looking for an Oldham baptism record sometime between 1849 and 1861? Not sure whether I would be looking for Anglican or non-conformist in this particular case and have doubts about the actual year.
