Hello there Mike E, I hope you still read the replies. I am researching my GGGGG Grandmother, Mary Hayston b:1739 in Workington, and Married Robert Telford in 1763 at Distington, you seem to have a lot of information in the 1800's I wonder if you know anything or have discussed the 1700's, I would appreciate any information at all because I and many others in the Telford clan have hit a wall completely.

Hi Mike...

Perhaps she is visiting with her brother, Henry Windeatt in Erdington, Warwickshire 

Milly

Hi Milly -

How brilliant you are!!      There she was hiding in Erdington all the time! 

I don't know how you found her - she doesn't come up in the 1911 census search, and her surname is mis-spelt!   She seems to have been having a bit of a family get-together. 

I am only disappointed that she didn't turn out to be a suffragette after all.  It would have been so much more exciting than just visiting family.

Anyway -  thanks to all who posted the suffragette information.  It was interesting to learn about this movement, even if it was not immediately relevant to my search.

Mike

Hi,
   Have you tried Brett Paynes derbyshire site it has some fantastic reseach on it and Brett is really helpful if ou email him.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~brett/sdindex.htm

I live in Netherseal and if you need any grave look ups i would be happy to help, hope the link above is helpful.

        All the best Sharon

Hi Sharon -

Thanks very much for this link - in fact I found the possible birth information from Brett Payne's parish pages.  I haven't found anything further -  but I may need to search his excellent resources more.

I am grateful too for your kind offer to look up locally - I may well come back to you on that, as I am in the Channel Islands and it's a bit difficult to 'pop over' to Derbyshire.

For the record, the information I already have on James Cook is:

Sarah Ellen Cooke was born SE Windeatt, 1857, in Exeter.  She married (1) Sydney Robinson in Salford, 1901, then (2) John Cooke (station master at Longsight) in Longsight 1905.

In the 1911 census form her details have been recorded, and then crossed out, but still legible.  I have searched to see if I can find her recorded anywhere else in 1911 without success.

In 1881 she was censuses as an attendant in a mental asylum - but if she was working overnight again in 1911 she should be recorded at the relevant institution (possibly Manchester Royal Asylum).

I wonder if she was one of the 'objectors' who refused to be recorded because they were not entitled to vote?

Are there records of the names of women taking part in the suffragette movement in Manchester - and if so, would it be possible to see if she was a 'signed up' member?

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Mike
