Hi looking for 2014 descendants of this family. William was born in 1857, son of John Meredith and Sarah Bates. He had several other siblings but he was the only one to stay in Macclesfield. in 1881 census he was staying in Ryle street, with his inlaws.
His children were many but several died very young
William Henry b 1886
Lillian 1890 married Wilfred Barton in St Johns, Macclesfield
Frank b 1894 (not sure if this is the same frank mentioned on the monument for war veterans)
Frederick 1896
Sarah 1881 marrried James Hyde.
Would appreciate any updates on their children, grandchildren,
Am visiting Macclesfield in July 2014 and would welcome help in where to research as will only be in Liverpool area for 3 days.
Thank you all

Looking on the census, we can't post 1911 details here, I think that it is 'your Frank'

William Henrys mother is Elizabeth Ridgway, think her father was Henry Ridgway.
Cant seem tofind a marriage for William Henry.
But at least we have an address of them now which was 42 Buckley Street, Macclesfield
-
I think Sarah Lizzie has possibly died pre1911, and there is another child Harriett, that you havent mentioned.
Have you found son William in 1911? If you can find his marriage, then can use bmd index to see if he had children, as shows mothers maiden name from 1911

This could well be Williams marriage

Bmd indexes show mothers maiden name after 1911, so you should be able to pick up possible children from there.
We are beginning to get to the era when people may still be alive, so we will be unable to post details here, as it is against Rootschat policy to post details of possibly living people. This is not really a forum for tracing living people.
Aswell as the BMD indexes, you could also look for wills as they can be a mine of information about someones descendents.

Frederick MEREDITH and Emily TURNER in 1920 at Macclesfield, St John
Using http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ you will see that there are 2 possible children born in Macclesfield,10 years apart.So maybe they had some miscariages or still births in between?
But as Liz says they may well still be alive so we cannot mention their names on here.

Frederick marries Emily Turner children?
And William Henry!
And what about Harriett? Possible marriage 1946 in Macclesfield to a William Ashley, if she was an older bride. Or maybe this is someone from the next generation down, if one of the boys had a daughter called Harriett.

I think that Wilfred and Lillian had 2 children
Hilda Barton born 1914 Macclesfield mmn Meredith
Wilfred Barton Jan-Feb-Mar 1915 Macclesfield mmn Meredith
There is a death for a William Barton born 13th January 1915, in Sheffield 1975 aged 60
There is a possible death for Wilfred Barton senior in Macclesfield in 1969 aged 76. Birth date given as 10th December 1892

I came to west macclesfield and visited and took photos of the houses which had been occupiedby the family. Only one wasnt there. I had rung all the merediths in the phonebook before we went but none were connected to William and Elizabeth. I have a letter from elizabeth and harriet to their
Brother in patterson, new jersey. Sadly no connection here with living relTives. I will not be able to make another trip here unfortunately. However i went to the library there and found franks picture on the wall, and excitedly spoke to the librarian who communicated with me, the story with the photo. I havent been back here since 2014 but now you are here i will keep in touch. trudym
