Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 census Manchester
« on: Monday 14 March 05 19:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi!

I believe that Edwin was my great great granddad.  I originally found his name on my great grandparent's 1920 marriage certificate.  I made a mistake on my previous post - it is actually on his daughter's marriage certificate and not his sons. At that point the family home appears to be in Brick Street, Ardwick. 

In 1901 he is living with his mother-in-law at Fortune Street in Manchester and his wife Ellen Ann.  He is 33 yrs old.  They have 6 named children -  John, Lister, Ellis, Catherine, Caroline & Alice.  In c.1902 my great grandmother Annie was born. 

On both the 1901 census and the marriage certificate he is recorded as being a wood turner.

Annie - my great grandmother was tragically killed in 1940 during the Manchester blitz. I have more information regarding Annie and her family if either yourself, or our other distant 'Speakman cousin' would be interested.

I have an Edwin Speakman who was born c. 1868 in Manchester who was a wood turner. This is quoted both as his occupation on the 1901 census and again on his son's marriage certificate in 1920. I haven't followed Edwin's line yet.............I will do and if I find any further cabinet maker/wood turner/carpenter Speakman relations I'll let you know.

I have Speakman ancestors living in Manchester. I believe that they may have been publicans. If this information would be of assistance - let me know.

I wonder if Thomas may be the brother of one of my ancestors William who was born c.1835 in Manchester? William and his wife (Mary) named their 2nd son Thomas who was born in 1866.  I have further information regarding this family if it is of any assistance to you.
