Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Barracks in Stockport
« on: Monday 01 April 19 06:56 BST (UK)  »
I also have an ancestor in the Barracks at Stockport in 1839. He was William Meakins, a Private in the 86th Regiment of Foot and had a child baptised in Stockport Cheshire on 7tht April 1839. On the baptism, his occupation was Private 86th regt and abode was just Barracks.
I have his Chelsea Pension papers showing he joined in Worcester 1829 and discharged in 1854 as a Hospital Sergent but am trying to figure out where he married and where this child may have been born. [maybe Ireland?]
He went out to India about 1841/2, stayed there until 1854 and several of his children were born out there.
Hope someone is still checking on this chat.

I am not sure if you are still available to answer, or interested in Gilsbrook Cottage, Lancashire, bit I would be interested in having a photo of it because my Father was born there in May 1907. Nan

Hi, who are the parents of the Parker children you are trying to find? I have some Parkers in the London area on a side twig of my tree

Hi Allan,
Thanks. I don't know if I have direct Meakins connections there in Liverpool, but my family certaily lived around the area. My Dad was born in Bolton, but came to Australia in 1913.

His father was born in Staffordshire, but his uncle was born in Liverpool. Most of the family were col miners.

Cheers, Nan

Hello Elizabeth Virginia,

I am new to this , but see that you are also rsearching the same family as I am. I am descended from this William Henry Meakins through his eldest son William Henry Meakins, then his son George Harry Meakins.

I would be very interested in comparing notes some time to see if what I have found can be verified. Did you get any information through the FIBIS site?

Cheers
Nan
