				Hi I'm looking in to my Lancashire family, they were Artingstall's from Ashton Under Lyne and Droylsden. Really looking in to the family of John Thomas Artingstall born 1839.
			
- 
				Hi ClareLisa, 
 
 What information do you have and what are you looking for?
 It saves repeating information and unnecessary searching.
 
 Heywood
- 
				Hi I'm mostly looking in to his parents, as I have his birth certificate which gives his parents as Thomas Artingstall and Ann Woods, but I've not been able to find anything records for his mother.
			
- 
				Is this  him described as a Nurse Child in 1851 2234/155/31
 
 John Artingstall 10 yrs b Gorton living with a Whitehead family.
- 
				I think there's a good chance that is him.
			
- 
				Baptised June 16 1839, abode Gorton, John Thomas Artingstall, parents Thomas and Ann, father's occpn "Hatter"
			
- 
				A report of an inquest in the Manchester Courier & Lancashire General Advertiser, 9 Dec 1826, names one of the witnesses as a " ... James Artingstall, of Hyde, hatter ...".
 
 Family link somewhere??
 
 
- 
				Do you have an address for the family from the birth certificate?
 Do you have Thomas and Ann together in a census?
 
 There are several Artingstalls in Gorton in 1841 - Hatters but no Thomas as yet.
- 
				There's a Gorton death, 21 Feb 1839, of a Thomas Artingstall on FindMyPast but cannot find it on the GRO to determine age.
 
 But there is a GRO death registration for a
 Thomas Artingstall, Sep Qtr 1839, Chorlton, age 44
- 
				Re the 21 Feb 1839, Gorton death, Thomas was 44 - abode Openshaw. 
			
- 
				They were living in Openshaw when John was born.
			
- 
				Oh this may explain why I haven't been able to confirm a proper census for Thomas. 
			
- 
				FindMyPast baptism
 Elizabeth Artingstall, July 9th 1837, parents Thomas and Ann, abode Gorton, father's occupation "Hatter". Unfortunately, she doesn't make the GRO to confirm mother's maiden name.
 
 There's a transcribed baptism for a James Artingstall, 13 Jun 1830, Manchester, parents Thomas and Ann but occupation not transcribed.
 
 FindMyPast has the marriage (transcription only) of a Thomas Artingstall and Ann Wilde, 1827. How clear is the mother's maiden name on the birth certificate? The GRO has recorded John's mother's maiden name as Wood.
 
- 
				It says Woods I think, but could be Wood. 
			
- 
				Struggling to find Ann (YoB ?), Elizabeth (1837) and John (1839) on the '41 Census!!
 
 There's this death -
 
 GRO - Ann Artingstall, age 38, Mar Qtr 1842, Manchester
 Parish Burials (FindMyPast) - Ann Artinstall (sic), abode Ancoats, buried Feb 22 1842, age 38.  Age "fits" a marriage with Thomas, aged 44 at death in 1839.
 
 Have tried searching '41 Census under initials only (workhouse/institutions practice to record initials only) but drawing a blank.
- 
				It makes no sense at all. Thank you for looking.
			
- 
				I can't spot any missing Census returns for the area we are interested in. Nor can I find a marriage between Thomas' death 1839 and the '41 Census for an Ann Artingstall (his possible widow).
 
 Mmmmmm!

				Lancashire BMD shows this marriage
 
 1856 Manchester, Oldham Road St Barnabad

 1871 she is with Frederick Hipwell

 A published family tree shows Elizabeth’s marriage certificate to James Daley and her father is Thomas, a Hatter

 FindMyPast has the marriage (transcription only) of a Thomas Artingstall and Ann Wilde, 1827. How clear is the mother's maiden name on the birth certificate? The GRO has recorded John's mother's maiden name as Wood.
 
 
 The 1827 marriage of the above couple shows that both Thomas and Ann Wilde were widows.
 Maybe Ann Wood married Mr Wilde then Thomas so the children would have mmn Wood.

				I had the top one not the others, thank you. I do have a problem that's been bugging me for a while, on the 1881 census there is Ann Fernley down as mother (who I presume is John Thomas Artingstall's mother) so I'm not sure what her maiden name is, or maybe she is Ann's mother.
