Thank you so much for your interest in my query regarding William Fletcher.
Have looked at your suggestions but unfortunately they do not match up with my family.
I now know William was a shoemaker.
Patrick joined the Army and after discharge ended up in Liverpool. He married and his wife was called Prudence.

Am looking for any information for a William Fletcher born in Dromore, Co. Down in the mid 1700s.
He had a son named Patrick Fletcher who was born about 1770.
I would be pleased to have any information.
Thanks - Jenn

Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / Re: James Medcalf of Kendal born Sedbergh about 1848/49

Bridget - thank you so much for all of that information.  I shall certainly follow up the leads.  Think I have seen the 1906 death of James before but guess that I shall have to send for the certificate to see if he is mine.  The info re an Alice being in Accrington is good and I shall get onto that too.
Thanks so much for your help - Jenn :)

Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / James Medcalf of Kendal born Sedbergh about 1848/49
« on: Tuesday 13 July 10 11:13 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the death of James Medcalf born Sedbergh Yorkshire around 1848/49.  He is married to Emma born in Liverpool in 1850 and has one daughter from his previous marriage.  She is called Alice and was born in Kendal in 1888.

I have found the family at 5 yard 59 Stramongate, Kendal in the 1901 census but the residents of that house are not recorded on the 1911 census.

Variants of the surname are spelt as Medcalfe / Metcalf / Metcalfe.

If anybody could give me any information about James and/or Emma and Alice after 1901 I would be very grateful.

Thank you - JVM

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 census lookup request

Hi Trisha
I have found a John Ragsdell living in West Street, Oundle in 1851.
It is rather a mixed household, but here are the details:

Elizabeth Wallis - head - widow - 51 - Pauper - born Pillon (lloks like), N'hants
John Ragsdell - Lodger - married - 23 - born abt 1828 in Oundle - House Broker
Eleanor - wife - 22 - born Oundle
George Fletcher (or Fitcher as in details) - lodger - 2 - born Oundle
Alfred Fletcher (or Hetchess as in details) - 5 months - born Oundle
James Waller - 15 - errand boy - Middlesex London (I think)

Reference H.O.107/1746

The writing is quite flowery and not as easy to read as it looks at first glance.

Hope this helps a little and that it is the correct person Jenn

Celia
Many thanks for your response to my query.  I did look on that site and found my relative there in 1896 but seemed at the time  :)unable to access any directory for the following years.
Now that you have brought it back into my mind, I shall have another look.
Thanks again and a happy Christmas and healthy 2007 to you and yours.

I am wondering if anybody has access to either a Kelly's Directory or Gore's and would be able to let me know who was living at the above address during the years 1897/1898/1899/1900 or any of those years.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Jenn

Hi Bill and Frances
Many thanks to you both for your help.  I am going to call the Cemetery Officer now and see what he can tell me.  A trip to the cemetery will, of course, be the next step!  Thanks again - Jenn
