Another possibility is to try the bookshop at the Manchester & Lancs FHS. You can see what they have on the website. I haven't looked recently but they used to have quite an impressive library of publications.

  I notice you have on your post that you are intrested in Silk Weavers , well my ancestors came fro Scotland and were Campbells  , they settled in Manchester in about 1828and the next few generations are still here (I think) but I want to get information on the Silk Weavers to see if I can trace their daily work  I also need to find out where in Scotland they came from , any info you can help with will be appreciated

Argyllshire / Re: Campbell's and Sinclair's from Tyree/Tiree
« on: Sunday 22 August 10 20:26 BST (UK)  »
I have just started researching my wifes side of the family which is from Belfast
They are Campbells but my dates are more advanced than yours
I have

David Campbell  b 1912 in Belfast died 1974

 David was the son of Alexander Campbell and Sarah Campbell   b 1887-1888  married 1911    ( Sarah maiden name was Campbell, her father was Thomas Campbell   b   abt 1865)
I believe Alexander Campbell married again to Catherine Mcclean

Alex Campbell s father  was also called Alexander  b abt 1865 in Scotland and he was a soldier   not sure who but i'm told one of the Alexander  Campbells died in the battle of the Somme

Mayo / Anderson from Mayo
« on: Tuesday 12 January 10 09:48 GMT (UK)  »
Having looked into this site I don't see anyone looking for Anderson so I don't know whether that's good or bad  but .......
I;m lookin for John Anderson born around 1826 in Co Mayo , He moved to Manchester  and married a girl called Ann Magininis (that's how it is spelt in the census) on the 14th Nov 1847 She was from Ireland but no idea what part
John's father was Thomas Anderson and Ann's father was called John Magininis   Ann died in 1877 and John remarried to a girl called Maggie Bell from Carlisle Cumberland
any help will be greatfully received
