Family History Beginners Board / Re: Algers in Diss Suffolk

Thank you that is so interesting I had never even heard of a Hearth tax.

Alger is actually a Viking name, my DNA gives 64% Viking which is a significant number . Agnes Alger was my grandmother , the last of the Algers in my family , and I am 100% certain now they originated in Diss .

Any more information would be wonderful.

Family History Beginners Board / Algers in Diss Suffolk
« on: Monday 24 July 23 11:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello , I am looking for Algers in Diss Suffolk , or anyone from Diss or Dickleburgh that is or is related to an Alger.
I have managed to trace my Ancestry back to the late 1600’s , however research starts to get very difficult from this point for obvious reasons .
What I am certain of is my Grt x7 Granfather Robert Alger 1779-1846 Cambridge ….died Ashton under Lyne .
His father John Alger 1743 1804 m Mary Adams 1738 - ?
Thomas Alger 1703-1746 Diss
Do you have any family connection or know anything about the Alger family please contact me .
Thank you

Ancestry charge nearly £30 which does work out expensive when you make a mistake and accidently order the wrong certificate.

Maybe I should post the death certificate 1886 of Harriet Leigh age 16 from Droylesden in Manchester on here, it could be someone's relative. lol

I haven't got either but I could order it.


Just a little anomaly ,when Betty married John Young was she named Lysons or Atherton because the later census has her name changed to Betty Atherton?

Yes we have it now.

My grandmother said a steepeljack but he wasn't it's a fireman, he fell from a tall ladder and was killed which is probably a fireman's job.

If George Prescott is the witness we are onto the correct family, whoo hoo there it is , fabulous thank you for all your help.

There is a marriage 1872 Wigan Betty License  do you think that is a phonetic mistake?
Someone misheard Lysons and wrote License.

I have it now John Young (1846-1894) married Betty Lysons at
Hindley All Saints 15th April 1872.

You were right Milly B.

Was Joshua her first son named Lysons or Young? If he was a Lysons then he is the father of Thomas Mayor of Oldham. I think from Ancestry there was a John and a James older brothers to Thomas. Aaaah that would make sense.

This is the Trevor Jones 44 on Ancestry. It's wrong. I have contacted this lady and she is of the Coward family , she has all of my grandfathers brothers down on her chart but it isn't right and I have contacted her via Ancestry.

John Young did not marry Mary Prescott, not in my family anyway. My mother at 81 still has recall.

Wow I am getting confused now,

Thomas Lysons father is Joshua Lyson. If Thomas is born 1900-1905 say, then Joshua needs to be born within !870-1876.

Betty Young's eldest son Joshua is born 1871 so the dates are OK for that , it's just the name , he is Joshua Young , but given that alot of these 1st children were born out of wedlock he could be born Joshua Lyson but that needs to be proved.

I am not on my computer at home at the moment but I have evidence that Betty Lysons marries John Young. The other Betty continues with the name Atherton. it doesn't say Betty Atherton marries John Young.

This is hard
