Do the Lancashire Records extend to the records for England and Wales Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers (1567-1936) or are they just COE? I have someone that I'm looking up ancestors for and they are Presbyterians. I've looked in the register I did locate and found James Birch (bapt. 11 Aug 1720) to Joseph Birch of Gorton Lane, Manchester. I've looked through every entry and the majority are Baptisms and only a handful of deaths. The rest are recipes for aches and pains, Asthma and other ailments and liquor. I'm looking for marriage and death records that were not included in the register. I'm trying to figure out who else is in Joseph and James Birch's family. Thank you for any suggestions!

I'm looking for baptism information and/or any info on the parents of Thomas Burch/Birch. I have a death date of 17 Apr 1844 Preston, West Virginia, USA or Montgomery Co. Pennsylvania, USA but it's conflicting info. So what I'm looking for is his parents and any siblings. I know he married Mary Gray and Mary (Ann) Knox and his last son's name was James Wesley Burch/Birch. I have found information that his father may be James Wesley Burch/Birch b. 1720 Ulster d. Maryvale, Cork, and his mother may be Scarlet Elizabeth Friend b 29 Oct 1725 Ulster d. abt 1810 Maryvale, Cork.

Yes! My whole paternal line is Samways! I can trace them back to 1596 in Abbotsbury and Netherbury, Dorset. I have a tree on Ancestry and FamilySearch that my aunt and I have been working on.

I've looked for a marriage record for Robert and his wife Sarah ( poss: Leager) in Manchester before 1630 on the Manchester Cathedral records but didn't find anything listed. They departed Yarmouth on the Winthrop, April 8th, 1630 to Boston, MA. The ship's manifest says Walker, Robert/ Manchester / Boston Walker, Mrs Sarah. So I'm thinking that they were married before leaving Manchester. Is there another church local to Higher Ardwick that they might go to instead? I've checked the entire book for Walkers and have only found a few listings but not for them.

I have recently found information from the Long Island Genealogy website that my Sammis (maiden name) was changed as of the 1600s from the Samways surname in Dorset. My aunt traced our lineage back to John Sammis 1643 Windsor CT - 18 Jan 1693 Huntington NY, USA. His father was Richard Samwayes b. 1 Nov 1615 and married Esther Horsford or Hosford in 1642 in Windsor, CT. His parents are John Samways and Temperance Denslow who were married in Netherbury, Dorset on 6 Feb 1609. I have notes that the Samwayes (Multiple spellings) are a one county family name as of my info from 2010. I trust that this information is true as it's posted on an Early American Genealogy website. I'm very interested in the ancestry of my family and have spent years researching daily. I have found a lot of information through searches, Ancestry.com, and FamilySearch.org and I'm looking for more. I have gone through the entire Baptism, Marriage and Burials books and have printed a lot of pages of information to use in my research. I am looking to find out John Samwayes ancestors.
