These are some notes a while ago when researching the Rippett/Nevin family - "There is a baptism recorded, on 16 Jun 1811, for a May (should be Mary) Ripett, born 30 Apr 1811, at Manchester Cathedral, daughter of Thomas and Catherine Ripett.  (The name could be a mistake by the recorder because the baptism is in the middle of several other Marys)."

I still think it was an error by the person recording the baptisms (not the first time I've seen this, especially at the Cathedral where there were a huge number of baptisms at the same time).

Thanks for the info about Margaret - I'd found this, but had got it into my head that she'd married in Bolton, but none of them tied-in with father's name.

Hi again

I found a baptism for William Rosenbaum (CofE), on 23 Jun 1833 at St Matthew, Bethnal Green, born 7 Jun 1805 a Biallistok, Russia(Bialystok, Poland), parents Lion and Rebekah Rosenbaum. Lion's occ given as Rabbi.  No sign of him after son's bapt, in which his occ is given as Teacher of Languages.  As I've not found any census records for him, there's no way of checking if it's him.

I'm pretty sure that Mary Nevil was in fact Mary Nevin, whose sister, Catherine, is my 2xgt-grandmother.  Thomas and Mary's daughters were recorded as mother's maiden name Bevin and Nevill (this has happened several times with other family members).  The reason I think this, is because, in 1861, what appears to be Mary's parents were living with Thomas and Mary Rippett at Portugal St.  In 1871 Thomas Nevin was living with Jane Neild (head of household), Thomas Rippett (so he was in the household!), his wife Mary and their 2 daughters (plus 2 lodgers)..

From 1881 - 1901 Mary and both daughters were living at, first, 55 East Leigh St, Manchester, and then Slater St, Manchester.

In 1901, Thomas Rippett Rosenbaum was living (head of household) at Miles Platting with 2 lodgers.

I found the marriage for Margaret Lomas, but discounted it because it was in Bolton.  I'll take another look.  Thanks for that.  The reason I asked about the Walker family was because my gt-grandmother was called Elizabeth Walker, born 1856 at Darcy Lever, Bolton.  Only connected by marriage to the Nevin line.

I've an Ancestry a/c if you've anything specific you want me to check out.

I think there's only one Jane Rippett, and William Rosenbaum possibly took off and left her and their son.  Maybe he emigrated?  Certainly haven't found an acceptable death.  It wasn't uncommon to tell untruths on certs.  I've come across quite a few!  I've not had any success with Margaret Lomas as it's a very common name and often misspelled as Lomax.
Jane subsequently married William Neild (b.1809 d.1886) - 1 Jan 1862.  She died Jan 1893.  In 1891 she was living with son Thomas (shown as married, but no wife on census) at 55 Naylor St, Manchester.  His wife and family were living at 155 Slater St (not far away, I think)
Not much help with your brickwalls I'm afraid.
