Thank you. I know on previous posts I've entered Ellen as Emma but now I've clarified it as Ellen.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Ellen Dawson and Mother Mary[Martin] Dawson
« on: Tuesday 31 December 24 16:32 GMT (UK) »
Sorry if you have seen this one before but it's some time ago and I hope there might be some fresh eyes.
I'm looking for Ellen Dawson born abt.1863 Farnworth Bolton. The last information I have was that Ellen and her Mother was discharged from Bolton Workhouse 8th Dec.1871. After that I have no sightings. Her Mother was Mary Martin born Prescot abt.1836. I have the information abt. her husband James Dawson who abandoned her and left for the USA. The mystery is, what happend and where did Mary and Ellen go when leaving the workhouse. Mary's Father was Irish so I'm wondering if they left to stay with relatives in Ireland. There was another daughter previously named Ellen who died in 1861, so as not to confuse.
Many Thanks, Happy New Year.

Canada Lookup Request / James Dale and wife Mary Canada census 1861
« on: Tuesday 28 May 24 15:47 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone could find me James Dale born 1816 Cavan and his wife Mary both born Ireland. I have them with children on the 1851 census for Welland County. I know they lived in Thorold but I can't find them on the 1861 census. James died in 1866 and Mary remarried, I have her on 1871 census.Children on the census would possibly be Thomas, Joseph, David, James, John, Rebecca, Margaret, Sarah Jane and Mary Lewilla. Thanks

Thank you to you all for looking at this. I will ring them up or email them to ask. I have Esther's Father from the marriage cert. as David Dale a farmer. Esther that appears on the 1851 census has been wrongly transcribed as wife. She is with Brother David Dale and I believe the Barretts [transcribed as Barnett but dificult to read] were relatives. I found the connection earlier in Canada where some of the Barnetts settled, one marrying a Dale. The two witnesses are Peter Morris and Martha Golding but I can't find them on the census. I also can't find the Barretts on the other census, I would have thought that I could have found young William born in Cavan.

I wondered if the Catholic registers would tell me anything other than what's on the certificate? Like the Mother's name or maiden name. Are these online do you know or just at the LRO. I can't get there but maybe they would look if I phoned them. Thanks for the info.
