One Name Studies: A to G / Re: BUCKLEY
« on: Tuesday 28 April 15 09:07 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I've recently discovered that my paternal ancestors came from Saddleworth & I've found my gt.gt,gt grandfather David Edwards on Censuses living in Lancashire & Cheshire. I've also found a lady I believe to be his sister named Amelia (Milly) Edwards who married Robert Halkerd (Halkard) in 1829 in Rochdale. I am how however struggling to find birth/baptism records for both Edwards. I have also discovered that Amelia & Robert had one son who they named Joseph Buckley Halkard so I'm wondering whether David & Amelia had the original surname of Buckley & perhaps were adopted by William Edwards who was a tailor. This name appears on David's wedding details & there was also a William Edwards living in Delph according to Baines's Directory and Gazetteer Directory of 1822.
Are you able to assist?
Kind regards,
Nick
