« on: Friday 04 March 22 23:25 GMT (UK)  »
Thankyou anneproctor.
I haven't been on here this year and just decided to come back and have a look and then i found what you posted today! Coincidence or what?
Thankyou so much for your reply, it's much appreciated.
Yes i am descendent of Abraham Gornall, b.1799/1800 in Ribchester Lancashire.
Interesting in where the Gornall's originated? I'd love to know more when you get your notes together again.
 Would it be ok to pm you?

Thankyou for your reply Kay. Maybe it was just an area name and not a common?
Peggs Marsh was were she was in 1861 i think?
However the 1851 census i read on Rootspoint maybe wrong?

Dorset / Iwerne Common, Iwerne Minster

I wonder if anyone can throw any light on my query please?

In the 1851 census my gr gr gr grandmother Arabella Green is said to live in : Iwerne Common, Iwerne Minster, Dorset? I know she was widowed and in other census' is said to be a pauper,  (John Green died in 1842). So,  would she really living outdoors on a Common?

Thankyou KGarrard,  That's who I think is his parents. But how would I know for sure? I cannot find a William, born in Ribchester that fits the timeline, so I am thinking he came from elsewhere?
Also I noticed it says, Junior William Gorner, so can I take it his father was also a William Gorner?

Thankyou for your reply Rosie99.
Ah, that's a shame, how are we supposed to go forward, or in this case backward?
I am looking for a William Gorner (variations of Gornall) his wife is Ellen. Their son is Abraham Gorner(Gornall) born 1799 in Ribchester.

The Common Room / What information re. Birth cert in 1799?
« on: Thursday 20 July 17 10:39 BST (UK)  »
I cannot seem to get back before my 4x gr grandfather, born 1799 in Ribchester Lancashire. I think I have determined his parents marriage in Ribchester, but I need t be sure, hence I am wondering what information I could glean from sending for 4x gr grandfather's birth certificate?
Would both his parents names and their address or place of origins be on it?

I ask because I cannot find his father's birth in Ribchester, and I am now thinking he may be from somewhere else? Would that information be on the birth certificate?
Nothing seems to fit from LancashireOPC or Familysearch .org

Cheers Rosie

Lancashire / Re: Suggestions for mother's unusual name please
« on: Tuesday 30 May 17 23:16 BST (UK)  »
Searching my roots in Ribchester I came across this:

Baptism: 5 Oct 1792 St Peter and St Paul, Ribchester, Lancs.
Richardus Gorner - filius Gulielmi Gorner & Ellenae
    God Parents: Thos. Harwood?; Sythy Railton
    Register: Baptisms 1783 - 1805, Page 15, Entry 5
    Source: Original register at Lancashire Archives

It seems your Sythy Railton was a God mother to my gr gr gr gr gr uncle!

Thankyou  Barbara H for this link.
Although it doesn't mention my gr grandfather, I know he helped rescue some patients from that flood as he lived very near to it on the Quay, I did however actually know William Jackson! Obviously he was an old man into his 80's or even 9o's when I knew him from 1971 (and still working!) My husband was his apprentice .
He was known as Billy Jackson and was a Master Butcher/Slaughterman, and was delivering meat (tied to the crossbar of his bike) at the time of the floods to the 3 pubs that were then down on the Quay.
Billy never usually talked about this heroic act, but that info was imparted to us by Billy one night when we had met him in a pub along the Quay, when he had had a few bevvies.
He was a gracious old gentleman, who always wore a rose in his buttonhole and kissed a ladies hand when he met her.

Dorset / Re: From Dorset to Lancashire? (Green)
« on: Saturday 08 April 17 23:31 BST (UK)  »
Once again Thankyou Maiden Stone for your reply.

Yes the Hyndburn district does include Oswaldtwistle so that could certainly have been her? (she wasn't on the census in 1881 with Elisha?) I'll look and see who the witnesses were?

I think it is possible that Elisha's family were Methodist's, his granddaughter, my granny, may have been a Wesleyan which I think is Methodist. I have a family Bible from a Wesleyan church that belonged to her husband's family, but I always thought she was a Quaker?
Thankyou for the hint of looking at the Local history of Dorset to get more insight as to why and where they travelled up country.
