Breconshire / Re: Abergwesyn place names

Hi Salt,

Yes, Loftybar was a farm run by the Jones family in 1841 and I suspect Boidybach to be the same or a small holding. My family were farmers from Abergewsyn too.

Thank you all very much for this info.

James and Mary Ann Bather were his parents so this is the right person, my mum will be thrilled to know more about him.

You have given me some great stuff to work on.
Thanks again

Australia / John Hankey - Any help appreciated :)
« on: Saturday 16 March 13 19:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I have found out that my great uncle, John Hankey emigrated to Melbourne, Australia on 20 March 1913 from Liverpool, UK.
All the information I have, is that he was born in Jun quarter 1892 in Altrincham, Cheshire, UK and that he was a gardener. I have been told he got married but had no children but I have no names or places to start my search and I have no idea when he died.
Any help or assistance in pointing me in the right direction to start searching would be really appreciated.

Regards
Karen

Henry M Langford - born 1888, John R Langford - born 1891 and William Langford - born 1893, are all still alive in 1901 but no children born after Joseph on the census.

Lisa,
Did William Bentley and Mary Schofield get married at St Chad's in 9 Nov 1828?

Could this be their first child?
Baptism: 9 Sep 1829 St Bartholomew, Whitworth
Mary Ann Bentley
Daughter of William Bentley & Mary
Tongend Bridge

And is this your Mary?
Burial: 28 Oct 1849 St Bartholomew, Whitworth
Mary Bentley -  Age: 40
Millhouse

I don't think the St Clements records are online but Whitworth Library does local research or Touchstones Arts and Heritage in Rochdale may be able to help?

Regards
Karen

Hi,
Have you tried St Clements church near Spotland Bridge (ie Bridge Mill?), Rochdale. It was built in 1835 so it could have been there.

Lancashire / Re: Married or not?

Hi Luke

Perhaps Emily hadn't seen William for a long period of time and had given up on him, as they were married in 2nd Quarter of 1900 or perhaps they had not been together as a couple for many years and could not afford to divorce, as happened to many people in those days.
