Title: 1841/51 Look-Up pls - FAIRHURST in Haydock
Post by: EC23 on Friday 19 August 05 13:08 BST (UK)

Hi there

Am looking for the Fairhurst family of Haydock and environs

Ages at 1841
Ralph 41
Alice 41
Jabez 14 (new name on me!)
Ellen 7
Lydia 9

The children were all baptised at Tontine St, Warrington, but I think were born in Haydock. As always, help much appreciated

Cheers

EC

Hi
new user please bear with me

You have an ancestor named Jabus Fairhurst.
My Great granddad was Barnabas Jabus Fairhurst
Born in Haydock (his son maybe?)
In 1881 aged 31, lived in Albert Road Widnes
In 1901 aged 51, lived at 124 Warrington Road Widnes
A ley preacher of some sort I'm told
He married Ann Pimblett in 1869.

Hi

My inbox is full, so I've posted here


Further to my message, I think John b 1804 is younger brother to my Ralph b 1800. This belief is based on the fact they are both Fairhursts from Haydock and were colliers and both had children baptised at the same day at the same church, i thought that too much of a coincidence

Ralph and John's parents

Thomas 1761 -1840 and Ellen Standish

Thomas' parents
Thomas b 1725 and Mary Denford

Thomas' parents
Peter 1688-1748 and Mary Pherhurst (or Fairhurst)

Re John's wife Ellen, she is Ellen Owen, parents Ralph and Martha nee Litherland

Hi everyone

Did you know about a mining disaster which happened in Haydock?
I stumbled on this the other day just googling 'Fairhurst haydock'
www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/haydockexplosion1878.html

The list of dead include four or five Fairhursts, I'm interested to know who they were.
We know Barnabas Fairhurst married a Pimblett and in the disaster, a Thomas Pimblett was identified by his sister Mary Ann Fairhurst.

An avenue worth exploring

Jim
