Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: James Brindley - Salford, Lancashire
« on: Sunday 25 August 19 15:21 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Suz and Trish

I do have those details from his marriage to Mary Pegram but didn't realise the age was 21 years and OVER.  I've been looking for his DOB as around 1817. 

I had a record of a marriage to another Mary but have misplaced it.  What you have seems to fit.

I also have the Census with John being the father-in-law of Catherine Derbyshire's husband and, at first thought that this must have been James' father but the DOB didn't fit.  If he was older, then this could very well be him.  His mother would then be Frances Mellor.

So, I wonder if this is the right track to keep going down?  If it is, I have already found the other records going back.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / James Brindley - Salford, Lancashire
« on: Sunday 25 August 19 13:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi  :)

I'm trying to find information about James Brindley, married to Mary Pegram (nee Walsh) on 20/1/1838 in Lancashire, England.  Both James and Mary's fathers were listed as Farmers on their marriage record.  It was witnessed by Catherine Brindley but we don't know if she was a sister/cousin/aunty/other.

James was the father of Mary Brindley (born 1839), Ann Brindley (born 1840) and Richard Prince Brindley (born 1841).  All children were born in Salford, Lancashire, England. 

James' profession was listed as Traveller on Richard Prince's marriage record to Fanny Laverack on 8/5/1842, a Brewer on Mary's marriage record to Ambrose Gallimore on 23/5/1863 and as a Commercial Clerk on Anne's marriage record to John Hepton on 4/9/1872.  (Richard Prince Brindley also became a Brewer).

I would like to find out who James' parents are. 

We also know that we are somehow related to James Brindley, the Canal Engineer.  We have a photo that was passed to us from my grandmother but we are not sure how our James connects to this James.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Elizabeth
