 Viktoria, my Great Grandma came form Acton Burnell which is very close to Pontesbury I think, and she had Davies relatives there. I guess the information about jobs was passed amongst the community. her sister was also in Manchester.

My G Grand mother was born in Astley just outside Shrewsbury in 1864 I was lucky enough to know her affectionately for 9 years until 1960 when she died aged 96 - she came to Garston , Liverpool as a Dressmaker - and I have just checked - she was born 12 miles from Elaines G Grandmother4 years apart ..Elaine - were you lucky enough to meet your G Grand mother ?? .....

Sadly, no. My Great Grandmother died in her 40s of heart disease, but only after she had upsticks to Texas and had 3 children there.

Thanks ShaunJ and brentor boy. With this information I am now clear which J.T. Harrison is the man I am looking for. From the 1939 Register, he is the one born in 1878 living with his wife Bertha.

From 1911 census he is living in Zacariah Salford, aged 32 employer, a butcher, with his wife Bertha 31 and daughter Nancy Harrison aged 1 and Servant Dora Hutchinson aged 17.

Looks as though his son, John Edward was born in 1911, making him 28 in 1939.

He married Bertha Henson in Hulme in 1906, the daughter of  butcher and he was the son of a butcher.

Shaun you have 'A quick search on Newspapers.com reveals that the death of Alderman J T Harrison, former Mayor of Salford, was reported in the Guardian of 4 July 1947, but the probate record has him as dying on 22 July 1947 in West Clowes Street?

I'm currently investigating records which may be held by Salford Council.

brentorboy your idea about newspapers and radios is a good one.

That's really helpful brentor boy and amazingly quick!

I'm sure he will be the one who became Mayor.  I'm hoping to trace a descendant to invite them to an event. I'll see how much further I can get.

Kay which 1939 register are you thinking of?

Thanks,
Elaine.

Is anyone researching the Harrison family of Salford? I am looking for information on J.T. Harrison who was Chairman of the Park's Committee in 1938.

Many thanks.

Hello

It seems the chapel is now de-consecrated and  part of the Concord College at Acton Burnell.

Can anyone help me with the location of St Peter's Chapelry, where my Gx2 Grandparents Samuel Davies and Hannah Davies were married in 1848? Am I correct in thinking it was part of the Hall? Does anyone have any details or photographs of the chapel please?
