Lancashire Lookup Requests / Alice Livesey nee Grundy
« on: Thursday 07 August 25 17:22 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if anyone visits the History shop in Wigan could see if there is a book on Baptism for  the Parish Church.Many years ago I visited it and came across a book with the parish records transcribed
My research is for the Livesey family.William Livesey married Alice Grundy in 1812 .On  a transcription for a baptism of one of their children it said son/daughter of William and Alice[daughter of Robert and Betty Grundy[i think her maiden could have said Seddon]I could be wrong there.
Alice died in 1841 aged 49.
I just can't bring up  any information of an Alice with parents Robert and Betty
Any help much appreciated

South Africa / Fitch/Barry Capetown area

Apologies if this is going to long winded. Any further information would be much appreciated. My research really started in Wigan in March1880 with a baptism for a William Henry Barry son of Henry and Mary Ann Barry abode Mossell Bay. Henry's occupation was a Merchant. On the 1881 census Mary and William are still in Wigan lodging with William and Sarah Reeves. Sarah actually registered William Henry's birth he had been born at her abode. The name had been registered Barrey. Henry named as
father ,Mary Ann maiden name Fitch. I have nothing at all more on Henry.Mary Ann marries a neighbour
Richard Humphreys in 1888 Mary's father named as William Fitch hotel proprietor.On all the census Mary Ann birthplace is shown as British subject South Africa.All the research in England has been sorted .Looking at South Africa records I have found a marriage around 1854/56 between William Fitch and Mary Ann Barry in Rondebosch Capetown,both were servants. So has Henry Barry any connection to Mary Ann's family if so what?
If someone has access to the trade directories a while ago I saw three entries for William Fitch and two for W. Fitch I don't seem to able to get the details .Possibly 1880's.Henry Barry may show up around that time as well.
Why did Mary Ann go to Wigan ,Where was Henry before and up to 1888.
The smallest  bit of info would be much appreciated

Many thanks

Sorry everyone it is Kenneth not Terence must be losing the plot! I have downloaded Lena's will and it stated that Kenneth was her only grandson and lived at 37 Cheshire Street.Everything had been left to him except a small token to Lena's sister Florence Price.Harry's father also died in 1959 but had made a will in it he left £50 to Harry.
Many thanks
Dotty
