Title: Crabtree - Bolton Accrington 1881
Post by: Mair on Wednesday 20 January 10 20:08 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the following family earlier than 1881; the family are in Toxteth Park in 1891 and then it would appear they emmigrate to the US in  and around 1893.

England and Wales 1881 census  RG 3837/135/13

Robert Crabtree 29 Accrington  Sewing Machine Dealer
Mary J Crabtree 27 Accrington
Ada A E Crabtree 4 BOLTON
all born Lancashire     Address 152 Bank Street, Little Bolton, Lancashire, UK

Mary J 's maiden name HOLDEN married at Haslingden (Accrington Chirst Church) 1876 in time for Ada to be born if registration dates are to be believed.  Any information would be fantastic.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

1871  RG10/4144  Folio128   Page256 Schd# 96

18 Grange St New Accrington

Mary Crabtree      H  Widow  61              Housekeeper    Accrington
Robert                son  Unmarried  20        Cttn weaver    Accrrington
Benjamin            son       "            18         "       "                "
Elizabeth           dau         "            16         "       "               "
Mary                  dau         "            16        "        "               "




Without knowing name of Roberts parents this is only a guess
on a search of his name and age.

There are few Mary Holdens in Haslingden with aorund the same age as your looking for, again you would be best having fathers name from marriage certificate.

I agree Mary the daughter actually looks like to be 13,  my index says 16 but zooming in, clearly shows 13. (1871)

Thank you for your help

Yes without the fathers details hunting is pretty much guess work so thank you both for having a look see.
