Title: Starkie family of Walton Le Dale, near Preston
Post by: SusieHK on Friday 12 March 10 03:26 GMT (UK)
I have been tracing my ancestors, I was born a Starkie, I have traced through census's, mainly direct male line to Henry Starkie born 1st February 1805, christened 17th march 1805, he had an older sister Betty born 25th June, christened 1803, then died age , 5yrs on 30th March 1808. he also had a brother John b 13 July 1806, christened 7th September 1806.
These 3 children's parents are John (? dob and his father and any siblings) and Ann (? her dob and maiden name and place of marriage)Starkie of Walton le dale, the children were all christened at St. Leonards church, and Betty is buried in the graveyard, my sources are Lancashire extracted parish records, and national archives.
My problem is I cannot find much information about John and Ann Starkie, I am presuming they belong to the huntroyd Starkies.
Henry Starkie ended up in Pilkington area of Tottinton, where he is censused as a Calico printer, and married to an Alice (? no surname) she is/was local to Tottington.
Has any body got information on the rest of the family in WaltonLe Dale/Preston area, and how they may fit in with John and Ann Starkie who must have been born around 1777 and married by 1795-1800.
Thankou

Hi,

Welcome to Rootschat  :).

Have you checked the Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website.  I just did a general search for "Starky" and more than 2,000 records (baptisms, marriages and burials) came up with different variations on spelling including this one  ???:-

Marriage: 30 Apr 1798 St Mary the Virgin, Blackburn, Lancashire, England
John Starkey - calico printer of the parish of Blackburn
Nanny Brierley - (X), spinster of the same parish
    Register: Marriages 1797 - 1801, Page 56, Entry 221

Some of them must be yours  :D.

Thankyou very much  Luzzo, I'll have a search there, I have found them so difficult to trace beyond 1800, there are quite a lot of them.
