Hi,
I am trying to sort out some loose ends.
Has anyone got any further information on the following people please.
John Walter RAWLINSON who married Olive LEAH in 1912 in Heaton Norris
Samuel GEE who married Florence LEAH in 1907 Stockport district
Henry SWINDEN who married Mary Ellen (Nellie) LEAH in 1911 Brinksway, St Augustine, Stockport
Sidney John LITTLE who married Mary Ellen (Nellie) ROBERTS in 1912 Portwood, Stockport
Harry COTTRILL who married Florrie ROBERTS in 1917 Portwood.
It would be great to find some descendants of these people.
I know I will find out more if I order the marriage certificates and certainly will do this in the near future.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have just received the marriage certificate for Samuel GEE and Florence LEAH and so have found out a lot more about Samuel and followed this through by checking on the censuses. So this is what I have now -
Samuel GEE born 1887 Stockport.
His parents were Samuel George GEE and Frances Jones
Samuel George GEE born 1857 Stockport.
His parents were Thomas GEE and Hannah(Anna) BULLIN
Thomas GEE born 1833 Stockport
His parents George GEE and Sarah maybe HOWARD
George GEE born 1804 Stockport.
If anyone thinks they may be connected to these, please contact me.
Thanks.

I have a Samuel Gee, but not the same one - seems to have been common in Stockport!
I have made contact with Ruth Beck who has a website with Gee connections you may like to view

Hi Chris,
Yep, I have also been in touch with Ruth.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi, I know your post was several years ago & I don't know whether or not you're still looking for info, if you are, I can tell you that Henry Swinden & Mary Ellen Leah who married in Stockport in 1911 were my grandparents
-
Hi, Thanks for your reply to my rootschat query. Yes this was a long time ago. So long ago, in fact, that I don't know why I was asking about Mary Ellen Leah & Henry Swinden! I don't seem to have Mary Ellen Leah in my tree? My direct ancestors are Leah's and do come from Stockport but I can't find Mary Ellen. I'll have to get back to researching again soon ( winter months!), so if I come up with any clues, I'll get back to you.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi, Thanks Heather. I have just checked my family tree and where as I did have most of the info, I didn't have John Walter Rawlinson's birth, so thanks for that - I only get time to do research in the winter months so hopefully will get all caught up again soon.
