Lancashire / Re: Desperately seeking Hulme Burial places

Hi Andrea
I haven't got much yet but anyway, Thomas Henry Crichton married Jane Elizabeth Holt 1898 their son George Crichton was my father in law.  George b 29/09/1913.(have some of his siblings)  Thomas was a House Painter and they lived in Cambridge Street, Chorlton on Medlock.  I think he was the son of Thomas & Ellen Crichton but I am awaiting receipt of marriage certificate to confirm this.  I have entries for them in Census for 1891 and 1901.

Hi Andrea
I notice that your Martha was a Crighton - I am just starting to research my husbands family who is also a Crichton/Crighton from Manchester.  Can I ask if you have much information on this side of your family tree? His grandparents were living in Chorlton on Medlock.
Regards
Denise

Hi Kathpak  I have found my ggg grandfather John Millar in the Irish Fasti - someone at the Linen Library kindly looked him up for me.   'John Millar was born in Glasgow, educated Glasgow and Associate(A. B.) Theological Halls.Licenced Consitutional Presbyterian 1819, ordained by Synod of Protest 1825, Toberdoney July3 1828, Moderator of O.S. Synod 1851, married daughter of Charles Lyle, Carncoggy, Dervock, joined, with a section of his congregation, Free Church of Scotland 1852, deprived of church buildings 1855, removed to Benvarden, died 1862'.  I have so far been unable to find out anymore about him in Scotland.  Thanks for your interest.

Hi, I am trying to find the birth of John Millar - I believe 1798 Glasgow fathers name probably Alexander and mothers surname probably Cochrane or McCrie.  If I can't find it on Scotlands people where do I go from here?  I am quite new to this.

 have been trying to trace more information on my gg grandfather who was ordained by the Presbytery of Ayr in 1828. Someone at the library in Edinburgh has kindly had a look for me in the Fasti Ecclesiae Scotiae and can't find him. Does anyone know if all ministers appeard in this book or where I can go from here? He lived in Northern Ireland from 1829 and I have a full history of him from here but believe he originated from Scotland and thought the Fasti would have more details on him. His name was Reverend John Millar . One of his sons had connections in Largs. I think his fathers name was Alexander and his mothers maiden name maybe Cochrane. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thankyou for that link.  I have just found out via a message on the Antrim board that he was ordained 13 July 1828 by the Presbytery of Ayr.

I have an old book written by his wife Margaret with the exact date of the wedding 13th  July 1829 and he is down then as Rev.  so I am sure they married then.  I will make the contacts you suggest.  Thanks for your help.

Thank you for that.  I didn't have the info on when he was ordained which I think confirms what I thought that he was Scottish.  I will contact the Presbyterian Historical Society as you suggest.
