Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: John Moulton and Ann Bride
« on: Yesterday at 12:30 »
Dear Goldie61,

Thank you very much, these details are really helpful.

However, on Family search, I can find Parish Registers and Marriage Banns, but no (very useful) certificates – so thank you for those (I know I must be doing something wrong. ::))

Anyway, if you can find any Irish-side data on Ann Bride, that would be fantastic!

Thank you again,

Neil

Cheshire Lookup Requests / John Moulton and Ann Bride
« on: Yesterday at 04:54 »
Hello,

I have drawn a blank on my second great-grandfather John Moulton of Nantwich Cheshire.

I know that he married Martha Hope on the 13th of September 1857 and that they had five children.

However I can’t find anywhere his date of birth or his parentage. 

It seems that he died before 1870, because Martha appears to have remarried in September1872  (Thomas Sumner).

I have also drawn a blank on Martha’s mother, Ann Bride, who was apparently born in Dublin around 1801 (gauging the date from Nantwich census records). I would like to know more about her Irish heritage.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Dublin / Re: Ann Bride, Dublin

Dear gc1,
Thank you for your attention !
Yes, it’s funny how the estimated birth years vary. 
I’ve got most of the census details, but I most certainly didn’t know about the child death of William in 1836. 
Neither did I have Ann’s burial date, and the Free BMD data fits in nicely. 
But the area I’m most curious about is her life and possible family in Ireland - and I’m not really sure how to find that. 
Thank you again, 
Neil

Dublin / Ann Bride, Dublin
« on: Thursday 19 June 25 11:19 BST (UK)  »
Hello!

 I wonder if anyone can help.

In researching my family history, I find that my 3rd great grandmother was Ann Bride, born in approximately 1801, in Dublin (according to Nantwich Census records). However, I can find no other details about her.

She married my 3rd great grandfather, William Hope, in Nantwich, Cheshire in 1832.

I would be grateful for any further information.

Thank you.
 :)

Thank you amondg – some great information that really does fill in a number of gaps, and correct a couple of possible errors. (For some reason, I had William Evanson (1852), married to an Elizabeth before Charlotte Green(?)).

Also fascinating that the Edge children of Millstone Lane were registered under their mother’s maiden name. (I wonder why?)

In life, I know that Joe, Walter, and Nellie were always Edge, and would, I assume, have been buried as such.

I visited their farm in August/September 1977 – even then, it was like a step into the past.
Walter, I believe, was still working at the penitentiary in Toronto (‘Trauna’, as he pronounced it), Joe spent his time trapping beavers and keeping them in his freezer (for their fur, I guess), and Nellie took me to the church where she was going to leave her money, and have a stained-glass window made in her name.

Some years ago, I traced their final resting place to the Lennox and Addington Cemetery, but was never able to ascertain when they died.

I wonder if anyone can help?

Thank you.

Hello Ciderdrinker, 

Thank you so much for your research, but could I ask you to clarify a couple of things for me?

So, Walter (c.1905) emigrated as a farmhand and he had an uncle, Joseph Green, from 60 Lunt Avenue, Crewe (or was he 60 years old?) He was born Evanson but is now Green – which possibly ties into the Charlotte Green story. 

The family was going to Canada where a Walter Edge (Senior) already lived, but you can find no record of a Walter Edge (Senior) in the Nantwich family.
 
The parents of Elizabeth Edge 1880 were William and Elizabeth Evanson. Walter (Senior) was their infant son, therefore the brother of Elizabeth (1880). His father was William Evanson, but his mother was Charlotte Green (second wife?). On his death, he was possibly buried in Fainworth, Ontario.
 
Thank you so much for your fascinating research. This has led me on to a new branch of the family and gives depth to the ‘Canadian’ emigration. A clarification would be really valuable to me.

Neil

The Edge family, Millstone Lane, Nantwich.

My grandmother was Jane Edge, and I inherited two paintings from my great aunt Alice Edge.

However, three others that had a presence in my life were ‘Auntie Nellie’, ‘Uncle Walter’, and ‘Uncle Joe’, who emigrated to Enterprise, Ontario, Canada (when or why - I don't know). They visited Nantwich almost every year, and I visited them in 1977.

I have found Census and Baptism Records for Walter (1905) and Joe (1907) – parents Joseph (c1876) and Elizabeth (c1880) - but nothing, as yet, for Nellie, whom I’d always assumed, was their sister.

Can anybody help?

Thank you.

Alan - thank you again !!

Aha!! I have just found that I have an Ann CHESTERS in my family tree who was my 3rd Great Grandmother. She was born in Nantwich, baptised 6 April 1799.

I wonder if this means that I was possibly related to the two CHESTERS sisters, who played a highly significant role in my childhood?
