Hello
Please can anyone help me to identify a baptism for Hannah Barlow, circa 1845 at Flixton, Lancashire?
Hannah was a nurse child in the household of the Pearson family in 1851 & 1861 aged 6 years and 16 years, so no evidence of her parents are known, only that she was born at Flixton circa 1845.
There is no suitable entry of birth either in the indexes at the GRO.
If anyone can help me to identify Hannah, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I found this Baptism at St. Michaels, Flixton:
11th May, 1845
Hannah daughter of Ellen Barlow, Flixton, Single Woman
It may be yours but :-\

Mo

Thank you so much Mo, I do believe this could well be the correct entry. Hannah Barlow was definitely born at Flixton and by the time she was 6 she was a nurse child in another family's household. Inevitably if her mother was a single woman and unable to keep her daughter (or perhaps she died), then it is highly likely Hannah would have been brought up elsewhere.
Thank you, I am really grateful for this.

Wrong info, sorry so removed it.

Hello again Mo
I have now received the marriage certificate for Hannah Barlow which confirms her mother's name was Ellen, so thank you for identifying the correct baptism entry at Flixton.
I wonder if I could trouble you for a couple more entries from the Flixton PRs.
Baptism; circa 1841 Thomas Royle, mother Betty (possibly an illegitimate birth)
Marriage; circa 1794 George Royle to Betty
Marriage; 1815 John Royle to Mary
Burial; after 1841 Betty Royle (widow) aged over 70.
If there is any help or advice as to how I can access these entries, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks again

I have on occasion required the services of a professional genealogist and paid for results that they have obtained for me, that because of geographical location and perhaps other reasons, I wasn't able to research myself.
Could you please advise me whether it is usually expected that such a person would do their own research work? and what charges would be made for results that have been discovered by Rootschat forum members on behalf of that "professional" person?
For example, what sort of charges would I be expecting to pay that researcher for say, the information provided by Mo, above.

Hello Mary A
Your post is very interesting but I am sorry I cannot answer it accurately as my enquiries on this forum are purely for my own family tree. I have no idea what charges a professional researcher would make if he/she were to acquire information from the Rootsweb forum.
regards

Are you on the correct forum? or is that a deliberate mistake?
-
I am sorry but I was replying to your enquiry regarding charges by a professional researcher for information obtained from this forum which was posted today at 12.56.09pm.
I have no idea why your message was posted on this thread, it referred to information supplied by Mo from the Flixton Parish registers and I replied accordingly.
Perhaps we have our wires crossed, for which I apologise, but these threads are clearly outlined on this forum.
Your enquiry to me bore no connection to my previous enquiry about the Flixton baptisms but you were asking about professional research charges and I replied accorfdingly.

Referring to RootsWEB, I thought we were on RootsCHAT

I am sorry Mary I don't have the time for this. My reference to Rootsweb was very obviously a typographical error, there really isn't any need to continue this thread.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I must try to be more careful in future.

Not obvious no, although while I agree some things don't need to continue, I believe that accuracy is a necessity in research.
