Lancashire / Re: Mountfield Manchester

Hi Melody
Sorry it took so long to answer you.  The earliest John Mountfield I have was born in Whitegate, but he was still in Manchester in 1841.  If I find a connection with an earlier John Mountfield I will let you know.

Hi Inicky
That's definitely one of the funnier ones, I wonder if she came top of her class.

At our daughter's wedding a few months ago, the groom and best man did their usual scribble which generally passes for a signature.  The vicar instructed them to print their names in full alongside.
Well done, the Vicar.  that will save someone the headache of searching in the future. :)

Hi Ozlady
I found that one as well the other day and thought how awful, no waiting in anticipation for that Certificate to come in the mail.   ;D

Hi
I agree with Anna.  I think they will turn out to be illegitimate children of the daughters.  I had a few of these in my Cheshire Tree and my Scottish Tree.

I agree Jess, but I'd just hang them from a lampost in public.  It's a terrible thing to say but the courts and judges just let them back out and they do it again :'(

Just caught up with this thread, it brings back so many memories.
Mary, I read the book "cuppa tea and an aspirin" really enjoyed it, and I can remember my Granny giving me sugar butties.  also Sunday lunchtime with Billy Cotton Show. 
Dipping bread and butter into jelly and carnation milk ooooh soooo good.
We had a chimney sweep and his young apprentice always wore a tailcoat with a top hat.    I remember in winter the top of the milk in the bottle being frozen and the blue tits used to peck through the silver paper and have a feast. 
My Mum sending me out with the bucket when the Milkman's horse did his business, she used to put it on the rhubarb.    (Mind you I much prefer custard on mine  ;D)
