to romilly,
             i to have found the website hard to use-there is a website called -GREATERMANCHESTERLIVES- it is a searchable website with info about books/documents/books/and photos held in local history libaries. the website for the libary is manchester.gov/libraries.
you can also pay for the staff to research for you-as you are probably aware

hi bf,
        elliot house is now empty, if you go onto www.bruntwood.co.uk there are photos of the building as it is now-- and what a beautiful building it is--i believe it was a register office for bmd in former years.
Also i understand all the records from the county records office on marshall st-which is off rochdale rd near the cis building are now at manchester libary.

hi,
   i have been searching for my gt grandfathers death for many years-with no luck-- i only know he was either in pendlebury or rotherham and he died sometime between 1914 and 1929-- not a lot to go on--perhaps the 1921 census may tell me something-when it comes out.
 putting this post on i was perhaps clutching at straws and hoping there were any askins still alive with a interest in their past family-but i have checked on public member trees on ancestry--and nothing

hi,
    i have not got mary j wedding cert as i have been told so many times- as the cost of divorce was so very dear in those days, the real truth was often withheld--but if you think by getting the cert it would help me i will certainly get it. ::)

hi, is there anyone out there in rotherham with any ties to either john j askin or my gt grandmother mary jane davies.
mary j went to rotherham in 1916-she was oringinally married to john davies and they lived in the swinton-pendlebury area of manchester, whether mary j was still married or divorced from john i dont know asi can find no death for him, mary j married john j askin around 1927.
mary j had a son john joseph who i think went to rotherham with his mother -john married in rotherham approx 1929 and was living at pottery st--his father was dead[as marriage cert] by this time.
so looking for any info at all for john davies-ie -did he die in rotherham-when- did he even go to rotherham--any help would be very much appreciated
regards
alan davies

Where is the Library?
hi--manchester library is in st peters square just off peter st, just across the road is the midland hotel, and situated in st peters sq is the peace gardens.
the metro link trams stop right outside so it is quite easy to get to from any part of manchester--the manchester town hall is just round the corner--you can also view it on google maps--put in mount street

hi rosie,
           i have given your idea a thought-but so many people could not afford to get divorced and just got married anyway, but the address idea when she got married could be a start

hi, i am looking for my gt grandmother mary j davies, the last time i can find her is on the 1911 census living in purston-pontrefract-in fact the family inc her husband john-sibling samuel/john and sarah were lodgers.
Mary janes obituary states she moved to rotherham in 1915--does not say who with-i have a gut feeling its with john james her son and not her husband-could anyone please have a look for mary jane on the electoral rolls for rotherham to see who she is with.
Mary jane married a john j askin in 1927--was mary jane a widow?
many thanks
alan
