Lancashire Lookup Requests / Lancashire Electoral Rolls
« on: Saturday 05 January 13 17:50 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you all for your responses:

Mo:  His occupation was Painter (presumably house painter).

CarolineW:  The only address I have for him in 1874 was 43 Rock Street, Oldham.

Heatherjulie:  This is his son and family.

Ladyhawk:  That record is correct.  There was never a marriage.

On his son's birth certificate in 1874, his name was Henry James HAYDEN.  As his original surname was HART, presumably he changed his name when living in Lancashire.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Lancashire Electoral Rolls

Please may I have a lookup in the Electoral Rolls  for the years 1871 to 1877 inclusive for my elusive ggrandfather.  Here is a brief synopsis"

Henry (James) HART b. Brighton 1853 moved to Oldham between 1871 and 1874.  For some unknown reason he changed his name to Henry HAYDEN.  His first child, Henry James HAYDEN was born in Oldham, 1874.  by 1877 he had moved to Shoreditch.

three of his children had the surname HAYDEN and one HART.

If I can find our *when* his name changed, perhaps I could find out *why*.

I hope this post is appropriate.

Hello Abiam:

Although it has been almost three years since the WISE thread, I hope you are still visiting this site.  The Henrietta WISE and William ROACH mentioned earlier are my 4th ggrandparents.  Do they appear in your line in any way?  June

Hi Carole:

NO, this does not mean that somebody is doing the lookup for me.  I am trying to help a friend who is a newbie to genealogy and who tried to find the info. herself.  Unfortunately, it turned out to be a false lead.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: ELPHICK, Chailey pre-reg.
« on: Thursday 16 April 09 22:29 BST (UK)  »
I was posting a reply to Daisy at the same time as Nell was posting to the list - mine went into outer space so I will try to remember what I said to Daisy and to answer Nell's post.

Daisy:

Thank you very much for all that info.  I had the 1861 census for John LAKER Jr., but could not make a connection to the SCOTTs. 

The BROWNs I had not heard of so this is all new to me.

I have found Est(h)er SCOTT on the 1841 census and, yes, her parents were James and Elizabeth.  I have also found the marriage of James SCOTT to Elizabeth ELPHICK, Widow, botp (B) at Lewes St. John sub Castro on 25 December, 1821 (nine months after the burial of John Elphick).

Looks as if your "possible theory" is correct. Everything is starting to slot into place.  It seems that John LAKER Sr. left his son, John Jr. with the grandmother to be raised.  Wish they would not do this, it just adds to the confusion!

I am not sure that the ELPHICK/WOOLGAR marriage comes into play in my family.  In the 1851 census she is living in Hoxton with husband John LAKER.  There must have been two Sarah ELPHICKs born in Chailey at around the same time.  that's all I can think of.

Daisy, I know I made other observations, but my mind is awhirl now.  Just to let you know that I am very grateful.

Nell: 
thank you for your help and for confirming the ELPHICK/BROWN marriage.   I guess we both found the SCOTT/ELPHICK marriage at the same time.

It looks as if all of these events happened in Lewes.  What puzzles me (and makes me uncomfortable)  is her insistence that she was born in Chailey!?!.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / MORRIS marriage, Bury abt 1833
« on: Tuesday 14 April 09 19:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi Carole and Annette:

Thank you or your responses to my post.  This seems to agree with what I have been told since yesterday. 
Apparently, the marriage is on a fiche and I am waiting for confirmation of the witnesses names.
The IGI record looks very good, I guess I just have to confirm this with a parish register lookup.   Or is there another avenue?

Lancashire Lookup Requests / MORRIS marriage, Bury abt 1833
« on: Monday 13 April 09 20:50 BST (UK)  »
William Morris was born about 1811 in Bury according to 1841,51,61,71, censuses.  I've looked at all the resources I can think of and cannot find a record of his birth which would tell me who is parents were.

As I live in Canada, I would really appreciate a lookup for his birth record and hopefully for his marriage record.

Also, I know his wife's name is Hannah (possibly TURNER) from an IGI record I found.

I have searched LancashireBMD, LancashireOPC and the IGI and have been unable to find him.

Hi Kerry:

Thank you for taking the trouble to look at the PRs.

Where do I go from here? 

I ran a list of parishes within an eight mile radius of Chailey in Parloc and will try each of these towns on Hugh Wallace's site, however, if she does not appear on the IGI, how will she appear on that site!
