Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Look-up Request: Incoming UK Passengers from Canada
« on: Saturday 02 December 17 01:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello :-)
Please can someone do a look up request for me? It would be very much appreciated.
Its for a mother and daughter coming back to Liverpool from Canada, I think it would be from Montreal.
Ellen Heywood Born in 1900 (?born in lancashire)
Mary Heywood Born in 1923/24 (born in lancashire)
They would have been returning after 1928 and with no husband listed, he passed away a year after they arrived in Canada.
Thank you <3

Lancashire / Re: John R Challoner: Oswaldtwistle/Manchester
« on: Thursday 30 November 17 21:31 GMT (UK) »Oh! Thank you so much for this, the cogs are turning and slotting into place on this one.
Funnily enough John and Mary and a son called Parlow on the census. Also thought it was an odd name, and I wondered if this was a spelling mistake and should have been Varlow.
Parlow was then registered at Varley on the next census in 1901.

Lancashire / John R Challoner: Oswaldtwistle/Manchester
« on: Thursday 30 November 17 20:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,
I'm at a brick wall on my Great Great Grandfather, John R Challoner.
He is very trackable on the census records (1891, 1881 and 1901), but for the life of me I can't find a birth record or a marriage record. I'm doing all this on-line over the pond, so there might be something more locally that I'm missing.
He was born (according to census) in 1853 in Manchester and married Mary (?Bury) who was from Oswaldtwistle. They had quiet the brood of children too! I have a death record that he passed away in 1923.
Anyone come across John, or have two minutes to spare double check that I'm not missing something here?
Cheers xoxo

« on: Tuesday 07 November 17 22:43 GMT (UK) »He married as Taylor it seems
Francis Taylor
Marriage date 25 Oct 1851
Marriage place Gateshead, Durham
Spouse Margaret Ridley
Record set England Marriages 1538-1973
Cas
It would be interesting to know who he says his father is.
I went to the local LDS Family history centre today and looked this up. He didn't declare who is father was, or fathers occupation. It did tell me who Mgt Ridleys father was, so not a wasted trip :-)

'ELLIOT.-1. Frank Place, Birtley, at the residence of his son Frank, on 26th inst., Frank Elliot, aged 72, the beloved husband of the late Margaret Elliot. To be interred at Birtley on Sunday at 3 pm. All friends kindly invited.'
Best Wishes
Thank you so very much for this.
So, last night I emailed Pete Wood the author who wrote the book on the Elliott's of Birtley, and he replied speedily. He told me this; 'He was left at the door of a public house wrapped in expensive clothes, and was taken in by the landlady, who was called Taylor. ' and that there is more in the book. So, now I will be checking the mail 6 times a day waiting for the book ;-)
He is also in touch with Doreen Elliott, who will be 90 next month and has passed on my details to her.
