Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: EDGE families in Malpas
« on: Wednesday 30 July 25 02:46 BST (UK)  »
The ‘name flexibility’ is interesting.

(I’ve almost had a breakthrough, but not quite.) 

In the 1851 Census for Nantwich, Caroline is married to a William Taylor and they are living in Wood Street.

When I checked the marriage record - they had married two years previously on 12 August 1849 -  Caroline had called herself ‘Catharine’, aged 21. This may have been a genuine mistake, and she gives her father as a James Edge (deceased).

I’ve looked in the 1841 Census for him, but have, as yet, found nothing …

Dean Maddy52 and hanes teulu,

Thank you for your help. 

(Charles and Hannah. Malpas. This is really interesting. If it works, it solves my problem. James Edge, baptised 19 March 1797.

The only problem is that I have this James’s death as occurring in 1849.

The James I’m looking for appeared in the 1861 and 1871 censuses in Wood Street, Nantwich and married Sarah Crane.)

So ...

My great grandfather was James EDGE, baptised in Nantwich on 23 October 1848.

He was baptised ‘out of wedlock’, to Caroline EDGE. On the Parish Record, there is no other information except that she was a ‘Spinster’. 

Coincidentally, Caroline was also born ‘out of wedlock’.

She was baptised in Malpas (noted as living in Bickley) on 22 September 1827. Her mother was Ruth EDGE, simply noted as a ‘Singlewoman’. 

This is the only information I can find.

I would therefore like to know who the other members of their EDGE families were.

This is my problem.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / EDGE families in Malpas
« on: Sunday 27 July 25 13:13 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am trying to make a link between two EDGE families from Malpas in Cheshire, but I’m having no luck. 

I have Caroline EDGE, the daughter of Ruth EDGE (Spinster), baptised 22 September 1827. Unfortunately, I can find no other family information on them. 

I would ideally like to find a connexion with the family of James EDGE, baptised 19 March 1797 in Malpas. He married Ruth RICHARDSON on 22 November 1813, again, in Malpas.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas OWEN, baptised in Acton, 1720s
« on: Tuesday 01 July 25 01:13 BST (UK)  »
Hello.
 
Thank you!

(Confusion … yes … but I think I can unpick it.)

I’m now pretty convinced that Thomas Owen (Acton 1720) was my sixth great-grandfather. I accept that it was the same person who died in Acton in 1801 (Thank you – a detail I did not have).

It’s the marriage that I’m not so sure about.

Yes, Mary fits nicely, but looking a little closer, Mary Bate was from Frodsham, which is 18 miles north of Acton. (On the Register, it has Thomas Owen as coming from the ‘same parish’.)

Looking closer still, we see that the Thomas Owen she married (1745) was actually from Netherton – not Acton. Netherton was a small village bordering Frodsham – hence, the ‘same parish’.

Thus is the problem…

My Thomas was born in Acton and died there. His son, Thomas, (and, no doubt, other children) was baptised there in 1750. His family descendants stayed In Acton until beyond 1900.

Therefore, I cannot see how Thomas Owen from Acton, and Thomas Owen from Netherton are one and the same person - despite what a number of 'trees' seem to have decided.

I think we’re looking for someone much closer to home.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Thomas OWEN, baptised in Acton, 1720s
« on: Monday 30 June 25 12:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

My 5th great-grandfather was Thomas OWEN, baptised in Acton, Cheshire, son of Thomas and Mary OWEN, 5th January 1750. 

However, I’m hesitating over his possible father - Thomas OWEN, again baptised in Acton, 14th August 1720 – father given as John OWIN.

On ‘Family Search’, this Thomas OWEN seems to be paired with a Martha Poynton, not a Mary, and moved to Barthomley, near Crewe (which I find unlikely). 

Obviously, there is a disagreement somewhere, but I can find no other Thomas OWEN born in the Acton/Bunbury area at around the same time.

Can anybody help?

Thank you.

I've just read it again, and it's obvious on 2nd, 3rd, 4th reading!!

I've actually got their Marriage Registration from both Parish and Bishop's transcripts.

But THANK YOU !!! I was going down the route of a 'rogue' relationship!!  ::)

Have a great weekend!!

I haven't - though I looked at a number of parishes. It was from your mail:


George bap 9  November 1834  Minshull

Thomas  reg. 1839 mother's maiden name Jackson  (GRO Index)
------------------
Wife Elizabeth died between 1839 and 1847

Ages rounded in 1841 so Elizabeth born circa 1801 plus or minus 5 years


Yes, I looked, but found nothing. Thought it might give me a clue to his mother. I assume he was fathered by another man ...

Hello amondg,

Thank you very much for your hard work. I already had the 3 Church Minshull children, but not the rest – especially Thomas, who was christened under his mother’s name. (I wonder why …)

And thank you KGarrad for your age qualification.

All very helpful.

Again, thank you.
 :)
