Hi Diddy,

Thank you so much, if its not too much trouble, that would be very much appreciated.

I wish I could visit these places myself however I live much too far away in Australia!

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I thought i would have to obtain their marriage certificate- I was just hopeful that someone out there might be related and know the answer already. Also as I live in Australia, ordered certificates can take a while to get here, so i've been compiling a list of certificates I need, to than order them all at once- something that ends up being quite expensive.

I did think the same thing, that she seemed a bit late for the marriage. I have found only one possible match for this family in 1871 living in All Souls, Lancashire. It lists a Hannah Robinson (born abt 1816) as a widow living with Sarah Ann aged 12 and a Betty Robinson (listed as daughter born abt 1853 in Manchester). I believe this is them.
In the 1881 census Sarah Ann has left home and is now married and living with her husband.

England / ROBINSON-MASSEY- Chesire, Lancashire

« on: Friday 13 January 12 03:06 GMT (UK) »

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find some information on a Samuel Robinson and Hannah Massey.

Both were born around 1816 in Lancashire, England. Possibly around manchester.

They were married on the 28 May 1838 in cheadle, Chesire. I have no idea who their parents are.

I currently only know of one daughter, Sarah Ann Robinson born around 1860 in Woodhouse Eaves, Derbyshire (now leicestershire?). I however can not find a birth record on ancestry.com that matches enough to chance ordering the correct one, nor have i been able to find a baptism record.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to find information on a Sarah Ann Robinson, parents Samuel Robinson and Hannah Massey.

Apparently she was born in about 1860 in Woodhouse Eaves, derbyshire. However Woodhouse eaves is in leicestershire, so im a bit confused about this piece of information.

I was hoping someone might be able to confirm that she was indeed born in woodhouse eaves, perhaps there might be a baptism record at one of the local churches? So far i have been unable to find anything.

The only other information i have is that her parents were married in cheadle, Chesire in 1838.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Ellen Hannah Sharples , habergham eaves, Lancashire

« on: Tuesday 11 October 11 12:48 BST (UK) »

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find information on my great grand aunt Ellen Hannah Sharples (possibly known as Nellie). She was born on the 1 July 1886 in Habergham Eaves, Lancashire to Robert Edward Sharples (1859-?) and Sarah Ann Robinson. Had a brother George Edward Sharples (my great grandfather). I can find her up until the 1901 census- and from there the details are sketchy.

It is possible she may have married a Albert Mosford @ Salford Lancashire in 1914. Albert died in France in 1917 (during the great war). He was a private in the manchester regiment.

I also have a record for an Ivy Mosford born in early 1917, whose parents are listed as Ellen and Albert Mosford.

I feel like im on the right track, however i have hit a brick wall and cannot find Ellen or Ivy after 1917.

If anyone has any information I would be extremely grateful.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: METCALFES IN HAWNBY & SURROUNDING PARISH

Thnks for all that!

Im a total airhead and didnt pick up on that as his sister in law it would make her harriets sister.

I finally found a marriage record. 22 April 1845 in south frodingham, york. unfortunately no listing of parents names on there.

There first child was born in 1843. So he may have been born out of wedlock bythe looks of this.

However marriage certificate gives birthdate as 1815. so search for birth record may continue.

Thanks for that its all very confusing. Im hoping this is the edmund im looking for.

Its strange for him to be put down as both edmund and edward. His D.OB. is abit dodgy also. I have him as dying in july 1889 at age 89. Which would make his birth 1800 not 1805. put i guess they may have gotten his age at death wrong.

Thanks again for the help!
