Armed Forces / Re: 55th regiment of foot - John Evans

Sorry I have only just seen the post.   Hugh Mitchell and Ann Bell married couldn't find Will and Margaret. Isabella was from Brampton and Ann Bell I think were related somewhere.  Reason being that Isabella was only 17 when she left Cumberland and John Evans who was a lot older.  Isabella married John Evan's in London and their first son was christened in Brighton.  The 55th foot headquarters were in Carlisle and I think that is were they met.  John and Isabella had children everywhere as she travelled with him his last posting was to Ireland and that is were my great great grandmother was born really good no record of Elizabeth.  When they left Ireland after the company was disbanded he settled in Liverpool and returned to being a shoemaker.  Isabella actually made it onto the 1851 census and her son John was still at home at the time.

Hello

Hope you can help a friend.  William Armstrong married at Manchester Cathedral 07.02.1814.  He married Elizabeth Lowndes and  he is recorded as being a private in the 36th foot regiment.  He says he is from Manchester.  Can't find a birth for him but wondered if there are any records that may help establish his age and what happened to him.  Been unable to find any census.  Remaining hopeful  ???

Hello

Don't know if anything can be done but I have this photo of my mam but it's not very clear wonder if anything can be done to improve the photo as the face seems very dark round the eye area

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Look up at Bradford Archives
« on: Tuesday 24 January 23 15:53 GMT (UK)  »
This is a long shot but just thought I would ask.

I am looking for 3 births with parents name in the Shipley area.

I have been advised by Bradford Archives that there is a register of children in the township of Shipley 1774-1858 (36D81/1/2) that will possibly have the information I require but I can't get into Bradford  and can't really afford for them to do the search.

The children I am looking for are Robert Slingsby 1814, Samuel Slingsby1816/17 and George Wilkinson Slingsby 1818/1819 all three according to census were born in Shipley

Hope this site can help me.
